I must have been around ten years old when I first became fascinated by the phenomenon known as telekinesis. For centuries, some people have claimed to possess the ability to move or alter objects using only their minds. (Oddly enough, bending spoons seems to be the most popular way to use one's telekinetic powers.) Unfortunately, most displays of telekinesis have been exposed as hoaxes. And I'm sad to report that, despite my best efforts, I've never been able to use my mind to levitate the rats that scamper about the subway tracks.
But just the other day, I came across the video below. It shows an elderly Chinese man moving objects without touching them. Though the audio is not in English, I think the video is impressive enough without it. See if you agree.

I love telekinesis! It's one of the reasons Raven is my favorite Teen Titan. If I had powers and/or genetic mutations, I'd want telekinesis and wings. Why can't any cool stuff like that be real? :P
That is sooooo cool!
Lady Dahlia: I would want to fly too! And, well, a lot of other things, but I'm to lazy to list them. :)

Sorry, I think that he's just a skilled magician.
I can read your mond your thinking of telekinesis.

It looks like he is using a Thai Chi. Thai Chi focuses on energy, and using the strength you posses to your advantage, like Kiki does when she is fighting. It also involves using your opponents power, strength, and energy against him. It's really quite beautiful, I could have a man twice my size on the ground in seconds. Here is the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_Chi
It's not the most acurate, but it's ok.
Wei so mo ta yao jiao?
Why does he have to yell?
That does look pretty cool, and fake, or not, it's still pretty cool.
I like how all of the water sloshes out of the dish when he pushes it... it all seems really dramatic to me. Just watch his expressions :D
Idhscb: I think 'cuz he focuses his "power" by yelling...
Lady Dahlia and Undiscovered Universe: I also want to fly! Have you read Maximum Ride by James Patterson?
I meant to say: 'Thai Chi techniques'
