My brother and I used to believe that we could move objects with our minds, but only light objects.
One time we were at my dad's house (my parents divorced when I was 7 or 8) and we had a balloon, so we sat it on the bed and took turns "levitating" it. One of us would stand on the bed, with the balloon in the middle of us (no helium), put both our hands on the sides of our heads, and close our eyes really tight, while the other one would sit on the other side of the bed and watch it float. It moved because we had the fan on, but we still believed we had done it.
