Psi Factor, spoons

Yesterday I have watched Psi Factor, very interesting episode about psychokinesis.

Investigators asked a girl to bend a spoon by mind and left her alone in the room. She began to rub the spoon and bent it in half by hands. When the scientists came in, she was happy and showed them the spoon:"I did it! I have bent it by my mind!"

Later one of the investigators had a talk to the girl, he asked her again:"How did you bend the spoon?"

She answered without hesitation:"I have bent it by my mind!"

He said:"Please be honest with me and tell me the truth. How did you do it?"

She confessed:"I have bent the spoon by hands..."

The most interesting thing in the episode that when the girl claimed that she bent the spoon by her mind... she didn't lie! She really believed in her words!

I suppose it is because the investigators didn't explain the task well. The girl was THINKING about spoonbending, and she bent the spoon, so she got the result which they asked and was sure that she did it with help of her Mind.

The scientists should explain the girl that she must bend the spoon without touching!

The experiment was incorrect.

Next time they set a challenge better and asked a boy to bend a spoon on the table without touching, just by Mind. And the spoon flew up and bent in the air.

It was a true psychokinesis like it should be.
