Mind Flex Gives Kids Telekinetic Powers

Mattel's upcoming toy actually makes kids do what most parents cannot -- think hard, real hard.

Does your child have telekinetic powers? If not, now they can fake it with Mattel's upcoming Mind Flex. This device asks users to concentrate very hard in order to power a fan that will then propel a ball through various hoops. The following video features Daniel Sieberg of CBS News demonstrating the product with Mattel's Jim Sheridan.

Mind Flex comes with a headset and six different types of mini-games, and an included timer allows you to compare your best times against your friends. Mind Flex is expected to retail in the United States later this year at a retail price of $80.
