/tɛləkɪˈnisɪs/

If you can make things move just by thinking about moving them, you can call your amazing ability telekinesis.

While most people don't believe in telekinesis, there are those who feel strongly that some people can move or change objects with their minds. The study of this phenomenon is called "parapsychology," which includes things like mind reading and reincarnation as well. The term telekinesis was first used in 1890 by Alexander N. Aksakof, a Russian adviser to the Czar, who combined the Greek tele, "at a distance," with kinesis, "movement or motion."
