At first glance, the Telekinesis Obstacle Course looks pretty rad. After all, the idea that you can move an object through a complex course with your mind has “nerdy” and “SCIENCE!” written all over it. But just as a fancy illusion is all smoke and mirrors, this “telekinetic toy” relies heavily on clever handling and user assistance. Yes, you’ll get to levitate an extremely light-weight, fan-propelled ball with your mind (thanks to a headband, earlobe clips, and seven batteries). But that’s about it. You have to turn the knob on the toy to rotate the obstacle course, meaning the ball itself only moves vertically. Somewhat shady marketing? I’d say so. And $100 for a 5 minute distraction? I’ll take a subscription to the Playboy Channel Popular Science instead, thanks!
