Mind control

I bought the boys (and yes, me too!!) a Star Wars Force Trainer.  It is absolutely amazing!  You move a little ping pong ball up a tube with your mind.  I never thought I would see the day when they made a game that you can play with just your brain waves.  It is so different.....more like sifi than reality.  But it really does work.  When Garrett put the headset on, the ball went directly to the top of the tube!  Fast and furious.  I didn't know he concentrated so hard!  He hasn't done it since then.  I, on the other hand have a really hard time starting the ball to move at all.  Then when I finally get it to move and try to make it hover in one spot or another, it drops.  Then I ;have to start all over again!  This is on the free play mode.  Sam has started his Jedi training and can get through the first level with no problem.  He can make the ball go to any level he wants it to go to.  He can move it up and down at will.  It is really quite amazing.  This is one amazing toy.  I would get it in a heart beat if I had it to do all over again!
