By her claim, everyone is telekinetic given enough time and candles. I can make any candle move even when I'm not in the vicinity of one.
And why would claimants want to get rid of Rule #3 anyway?

Bad press when they fail to prove their claim. Like the psycic detectives who only want their names used when they solve the case.

I would say I'm a fan of special powers , telekinesis, etc.
I would dream of having Jedi powers of telekinesis, Qi Gong etc
But even I question why we should be bothered about it.
The candle experiment seems too trival .
I would rather she show better ability.
Q1: Can she control a flame on a paper to burn in such a way as to burn out her name? (She should come back when she is able to do that.)
Q2: Did she claimed telekinesis ?
Q3: Or did JREF branded her as such (telekinesis)?
The weakness of the ability give me an impression that this is just a blatant attempt to win the million, and there is no genuine desire to show case any paranormal ability.
