Just a crazy idea came to my mind:
Use the laser to move the object little.Then point with the laser to your thumb,your thumb will glow using dlite (you are pinching the thumb and the pointing finger together now) , gesture with your pinched fingers to the object and it will move more. Point the laser again to your thumb to stop the dlite effect. It will look like you stole the laser and its power in your thumb.

Hello StarManager! I have recently discovered a new hook up with Tractor Beam and I recommend you try it. I would call it the "Thumb" hook up where you hook to your left thumbnail while holding the unit in your right hand. It's similar to the table hook up but gives you a moving anchor. I'm glad you're having fun with it!

Haven’t played with it yet and wished I’d thought of this with the contest. I thought after I used it as described I could use it with the product Heat to make the balls of foil hot in a specs hand. Real Star Wars like!😎

Hey guys, people know that you can't move objects with a laser pointer. Just like they know you can't levitate a woman by waving your hands or vanish a coin by hanging it on an invisible hook.

These premises are given tongue in cheek. Still, some people might fully accept the premise (children for instance) but even they will be impressed if you fool them even if they attribute it to some amazing tech,

The premises you've mentioned are indeed tongue in cheek, but there's still far more mystery to them than to this effect. There's a "paper trail" to this one, so to speak. Yes, audiences know you can't levitate a woman by waving your hands, but it's still a complete MYSTERY, particularly after the magician passes a hoop over the levitated person, dispelling any notions of wires supporting her. Where is the "logical disconnect", (as the late Bob Cassidy would say), in this effect?

Again- just my opinion. As soon as you show the audience what "causes" the object to move, even if it's a laser pointer, a ton of wind is let out of the sails. What makes PK work so strong is apparently there is NO cause other than the power of your mind, or whatever "power" you are trying to demonstrate. What impresses the audience here? What drops their jaw? The fact that they think light can't cause movement? That's certainly not enough. Laser technology is advancing at a very rapid pace. There's no reason that people won't believe that either the light, or something else coming out of that pointer, is moving the object. There's no other place for their mind to go. Sorry, I still don't see the appeal, and the comparison you offered- levitating a person- is far more mysterious, inexplicable and dramatic.
