..I'm not sure if this is a plot flaw but- surely, if you and your two friend could fly and move object via telekinesis, you would all realise the potential MILLIONS of Dollars to be made by going public? His ailing Mother would have been well looked after then...
shareNah, unless you're so powerful that no one can do jack to you, going public is stupid. There are plenty of ways you could make money with these powers without anyone finding out. With enough fine control, they could probably manipulate the balls in a lottery draw.
sharenice thought- if they got near enough. But- being able to fly, the Tv stations would be tripping over their collective feet for exclusive rights for that story...
shareWell Andrew wasn't exactly in the right frame of mind. He wouldn't even need to publicly expose his abilities. There are plenty of ways to make money just because with their TK, they could move massive amounts of weight with very fine control.
shareHell no; I was thinking the whole time about how, if the CIA got wind of these kids, they'd never be heard of again.
Let the government find out you've got bizarre powers that defy physics, and you'd quickly be taken away to become the subject of experiments on how to turn it to government/military advantage.
Best thing they could have done would be to actually develop that magic show and make millions as a "real deal" David Blaine act.
They could had disguised their powers as conjuring and made a packet.
Its that man again!!
