My first practice was with the heated spinning lamp things - its a lamp with a cylindrical shade on it that has slats cut in the top and turns at angles like a pinwheel. The sides have decorative images on them to throw shadows. When the light heats up, the shade will spin. If you let it sit and spin for hours it will only spin one direction if there is no air conditioning or wind. I would sit for hours and will the thing to stop, spin the other direction, spin faster, spin incrementally - one turn, stop, one turn, stop. It was after I had tried the classic 'psi wheel' exercise without much success.
Then I got the psi wheel to turn, and then to turn reliably one direction then the other, and then 90 degrees, turn under a glass bowl, and so on. I got a pendulum to swing, and sort of plateaued there. At the rate of progress, assuming there was no limit, I might have been PK'ing boxes into the air by the time I was 60. I determined it was not a useful practice, but still apply the same mental principles to other endeavors so not a total loss.
Personally I would not waste time on these exercises - if your intent is to develop psychokinesis on a scale of Jedi-like powers. As a concentration exercise it is engaging and very easy to guide you into single pointed awareness. Also it is possibly dangerous - I used to get headaches that lasted about a day, and longer if I didn't proactively engage my own energy work to correct them, I would get feverish if I practiced too long in one sitting, and more than once I developed a nagging sensation at the base of my skull that would occasionally lead to some terrible vertigo that lasted a couple of hours.
I don't know of a fast-track method to developing large scale telekinesis, but I suspect some have more potential for it than others.

Amen. I'm not energetically built like a hammer, I'm more like a screwdriver and when I tried this experiment it took hours (approx 4 of consistant staring (which turned the whole experiment into a joke for me later)) of mental work and staring at the psiwheel, but after I got into a certain 'zen' mindframe I was able to spin it in any direction I wanted to. Which may be very cool and universe altering for those who previously didn't think it was possible but it is otherwise useless, and yes my teacher told me: If your head ever starts to hurt during any sort of practice, stop and continue later.
