If you are going to practice the techniques described below, it would be to your advantage to perform relaxation exercises prior to beginning. After you have achieved success a few times the necessary focus can be reached quite easily. Lately my interest has been growing again so I might start looking for a suitable object to resume my practice, but all you really need to know is that it can be done, and ordinary people like you can do it. Using the analogy of magnetism is a good way to focus your attention. When one magnetic field interacts with another it will either push or pull against the other depending on the two magnetic field polarities.
Opposite fields attract, similar fields repel.
By concentrating on the belief that the field around my finger tips was very strong, I could momentarily place my finger tips near the end of the spoon handle and imagine it pushing against the magnetic field of the spoon, causing the spoon handle to move downward slightly. I would move my finger tips away to the side to let the spoon handle move back upwards, then repeat the process by moving my finger tips over the handle once more. This repeated movement of my finger tips to the side then back over the handle slowly caused the spoon to rock more and more till it would fall off the glass. You must also be careful to note and breezes in the room from heating or air conditioning, since your hand might block the breeze off and on and cause the spoon to move accordingly. If you rest your elbow on the table while doing this, be sure the table is VERY solidly positioned or you may accidentally cause the table to rock slightly in a rhythmic way, which can also cause the spoon to move.
