Jedi Mind Tricks

Jedi Knights are awesome, lets face it, they are uber cool. After watching Star Wars for the first time all i ever wanted was a Lightsaber, and in fact one of my friends with older brothers had a Lightsaber or two knocking about which meant endless hours of fighting aboard the Deathstar (his living room) and battling on Coruscant (his back garden). Shabbos afternoon was spent at eachothers houses pondering the big questions in life, such as Can they make a car that runs on water? and "is it true some of the top units in the army use lightsabers?" If one was ever a "goody" he was Luke/Obi Wan and the "baddy" was always Darth Vader.
But that was when we were kids, kids love guns and things that go bang! the flashier the better, but as i matured i realised the true power of a Jedi Knight, it wasn't his or her cat like reflexes and ability to perform mind boogling physical feats, it was their mind control, their mind tricks. They harnessed the power of the mind and used it to manipulate the physical, for example Yoda raising Lukes spaceship out of the swamp on Dagobah, or even other people, as seen demonstrated coutless times. If you were to ask a child what they love abuot Jedi Knights, they would squeal "Lightsaber!" but for me, it has to be the Mind Tricks.
Now, conspiracy theories and hoaxes aside i don't think we are close to such things, sure there are techniques such as NLP etc. but as hard as i have tried i havn't even been able to even move a pencil like matilda!
However in todays generation we have cell phones, the interweb, and mp3s, we also have such a convenient tools as blenders and sliding doors. the latter is where my inner Jedi comes out, for whenever i walk through sliding doors i flick my fingers aside and the doors open, and i fool myself into thinking that they did so at my bidding. For those few seconds, i am Darth Vader, Jedi Master.
Now to fool the guy at the checkout that i had paid using my newly acquired Jedi Mind Tricks.....
