How to Make a PSI Wheel Spin
A PSI wheel is a paper construction typically used as a tool for practicing telekinesis, and you can make it spin by balancing it on a point and blowing. The PSI wheel is folded almost as if it were made from origami, the Japanese art of folded paper. You can make a PSI wheel using any sort of sturdy paper, and crafting one yourself will save costs over purchasing one from a new age store, where similar items can sometimes be expensive.
Instructions
-
-
1
Cut a piece of paper in a perfect square, to about 3-by-3 inches.
-
2
Fold the square over diagonally to form a triangle and press down to make a crease.
-
-
3
Unfold the triangle and re-fold it using opposite corners to make another triangle, with a diagonal crease that crosses through the first crease made.
-
4
Unfold the triangle again so you now have a cross of two creases cutting through the square.
-
5
Turn the paper over and fold it in half down the center horizontally. Unfold it and re-fold down the center vertically. Unfold again.
-
6
Push against the four corners so that the horizontal and vertical creases begin to fold in and the diagonal creases are pushed up, making a sort of four pointed star shape.
-
7
Place the PSI wheel on the tip of a pencil and gently blow on it to spin.
