Looks to me as if there is a puff of air hitting the pinwheel right before it starts to spin. In the first few seconds of the movie you see the pinwheel start to rock, then it starts to spin.

I suppose it's possible to have rigged it up under the table, but it's hardly plausable or likely. Maybe if a dowel, or pin, or something was put through the table, and fastened to the bottom of the push-pin and then turned.. Doesn't strike me as all too likely, or even plausable. If it was faked, the best suggestion is air currents being forced under the bowl. But then, you have to consider that the amount of space that seems to be between the bowl and table is hardly enough to have a reasonable effect on the pinwheel itself, and too low to the table itself. And these things blow over quite easily.
I watched it again, you're right, it is a tack. The tack probably isnt moving. Maybe there is a whole in the bowl (on top?), and an air current (he blew thru the hole).

Maybe we should look at some of Annom's older posts in this forum and then ask ourselves if he was maybe teaching some of us a bit of a lesson...

If I spoiled some further plans... I'm sorry. I didn't see him posting any follow up so I jumped in.

I only wanted to show how easy it is to fake TK. (edit: TK is always fake) This is why being skeptic is good! Skeptic is not the same as close minded!

These ones are being presented as actual telekinesis. The most laughable are the supposed psiballs at the bottom... taken with the webcam of a palm pilot. They look like... pretty much nothing.
Also, the picture of a pocketknife being tossed in the air is pretty silly. As for the uncovered pinwheels, I tried setting one up myself on to find that even the slightest gust of air would send it spinning. At first I wondered if maybe putting my hands around the pinwheel was channeling air, making it spin, but I realized that even the light breathing from my nose fairly far away sent it spinning 'round.

So maybe it's just that a piece of paper with a large surface area, catches enough force from the air currents. Enough force for the paper, which has very low friction with the nail, to start moving. So while truekimbo2 (in this thread) was thinking that he was training his TK, he was probably subconsciously training his breathing and hand movements. I'm sure that he is very convinced by his 'powers'. That doesn't make them real.

I wouldn't be suprised if you just hit the nail on the head.

Nice setup

Well, it does proove how easy it is to make a fake example of telekinesis.

Annom did this in one hour. Imagine how you might fool yourself and others after hours of training.
