My DS9 showed this to me in the Target toy catalog today. I thought it looked like a bunch of hooey. What is it?

My 11 yo put this on her list too...I had no idea what it was until the Target toy catalog. Surely this doesn't work as described?

Does anyone have experience with it?

Read the reviews on Amazon. It's a fan that moves the ball around to make it appear as if you are moving it. Not worth it IMO.

Good Housekeeping just named it as a Best Toy for 8+ age group. The sensors channel alpha and theta brain waves into energy that in turn powers the fan beneath the course/ So if you are not concentrating enough it wont work. But to answer your question, no I have not seen any deals on this toy.

I read some reviews of it and it sounded like it would be fun. The reviewer explained the real reasoning behind it - but, regardless, you need to concentrate to get it to move.

The regular price is $79.99, but it is in the Toy R Us catalog that we got a couple of weeks ago for $59.99. Of course TOYS is out of it, so I took the ad to Walmart and they matched it. They only had 2 at the store I was at.

So, yes, I did buy it. It is hidden away at a relative's house so that our kids don't find it around here. They will be completely surprised come Christmas morning because Mom doesn't usually splurge on the hot toy of the season like this. I have read that it is getting more and more difficult to find - all the more reason I am thrilled that I've already taken care of it.

We went to WDW soon after Cmas last year so that was a huge splurge ... I figured I can swing $60 in addition to their other gifts as we have no major travel plans anytime soon.

Problem is that this game is hard to find.

I found a website that will alert me the instant Mindflex is back in stock at Amazon. You can use it for any item at Amazon for that matter. It checks Amazon every few seconds automatically and alerts you the moment your product is back in stock.

You can just go to (az-grabber [dot] net) and search for items.

But your "mind" controls the fan. My son bought it with his birthday money. I'll tell you, it is HARD to keep tha ball up! I haven't figured out the trick to it yet.

It will work using a wet sponge according to a Youtube video. It is a ripoff
