Magic?

Tom faces a dilemma. In his mid-teens, he discovers he has the ability to move small objects using only the power of his mental concentration. By the time he enters Boston College, he knows what he can and can't do with his psychokinetic abilities as he has learned to call them. They work only sporadically. He can't count on himself to perform on demand, with failures far outnumbering successes. Professors, famous magicians, frat brothers, and Tom's girlfriend all offer opinions and guidance, ranging from sarcastic skepticism to awe-struck encouragement. Over time, Tom weighs the pros and cons of letting his on-and-off mental abilities out into a world seeking an authentic shaman. His decision will surprise you--and serve as a cautionary tale to anyone who claims superhuman powers.
