I was jesting when I said it. I know the story and the moral, and yada yada yada.

In order:
mind-control

invisibility

flying

I think the invisibility power would be SO awesome. talk about stealth! And the places you could go! The world would be your oyster!

But I always wondered about one thing,though. That is, if you eat a sandwich or whatever, people would see a boloney sandwich floating around in mid air wherever you walked, and that would be sort of a dead giveaway, knowhutimeen?

Or if you smoked, which I don't, then they would either see a cig floating around in mid air, or they would see the smoke shaped like your lungs. Wierd, eh?

But, anyway, the invisibility would be GREAT for spying, or eavesdropping, or stuff like that!

Knowledge.
Information is power as the saying goes and I would like to know it all. Let me restate that. I want to know IT ALL! Everything that ever was, is, and ever will be. Just imagine the power that could come with that. The good that could be done and the bad.

Whoa! That's called omnicience, and that would make you GOD, my man.

I've always wanted to be a shape shifter.

Invisibility !

Wouldn't it be cool if you could like pause and rewind life? (Bit like Sky + really...) Like you could just pause, and everyone else would stay still and but you could move. And then if you did something like mess a magic trick up, you could rewind back and have a another try at it!

Not God. I still couldn't actually DO any of the miracles. I just would like to know what is out there to know. To have all of the answers, to hold all the keys.

At first I thought you were talking about deja vu, because that always feels like life has been rewound, and replayed, but now it seems what you are talking about is like more what Bill Murray went through in the movie "Groundhog day", sort of.

But I see what you are saying, and I must say, you have a fasntastic imagination, and your idea is the COOLEST one mentioned so far! Man I'd LOVE to do that! That would be an awesome power.

What else would be cool and very similar to what you are saying is to be able to cause the whole world to "freeze" in time, and you are the only one who can move and act. In other words, on your command, everyone just FREEZES in their tracks, like store manequins, in fact, all motion in the entire world, even time itself STOPS, until you want it to start up again. In the meantime, you just have your fun, and do whatever your little heart pleases.

I can't claim originality for the idea, as I saw it on an episode of the Twilight Zone. (Doo dee doo dee, doo dee doo dee)

While your at it, why not have your proverbial cake and eat it too, as the saying goes? Why just have the knowledge without the power? Why have the keys without a door to put them in?

Time travel. I would want to know the future & the past.

Time travel would be a great way to do it, no doubt.

Yes--the possibility of time reversal or changing something you knew that might happen. There was a great movie on FX? called time shifters? something or other about this service that sold tickets to the worlds disasters and you could be there minutes before it happened. It was a great movie...although I would try to prevent the bad stuff, if I could.

If you knew everything in the universe, then following that you would also know How to do everything in the universe, and therefore be able to do anything you want.

However, life would be quiet boring knowing everything!!!

You would have to create some species, and just watch them discover stuff for fun, since you couldn't do it yourself....... oh wait.

Extreme telekinesis... It would be so great to move anything, of any weight, despite size or shape or anchorage as far and as fast as you want just by pointing at it. Jedi powers, if you will, but easier.

You could then really pull off some great Psychkinetic Silverware stunts... "Watch, as this stop sign bends like butter." This also alows for "super-strength" because you could just move it with your mind and hold onto an object. This can also double as a type of "mind-control" without the mind-control... with some practice you could move a person, their limbs independently, eyes, and even their vocal cords, giving you complete power over someone, with them trapped inside thier minds, unable to do anything.

You could then, in turn, also fly, just moving yourself about as fast as you want. You can also pull off a vanish and reappear effect, just move yourself across the room in a split-second and as long as you make every part of you stop at the exact moment, you won't feel a thing.

The magic tricks are endless... people always think of IT tricks without the IT. For some more obvious examples, you could shapeshift objects, moving around molecules like liquid, cause 'instant' switches, make people 'disappear'... you name it. Think of the card FLOURISHES and stunts you could pull off! De'vo, eat my fanning powder! 'Actual' color changes, any trick ever thought of could be done 'for real,' in the sense that you could move and switch whatever you want as quick as you want.

Misdirection would be extreme! Remove watches, wallets, belts, pants, anthing you can think of, instantly, while sitting six feet away from someone chatting with them.

I'm getting tired of thinking of the possibilities, but let your imaginations go with this one... it has more possibilities than anything I can think of.

Man, you've got me salivating over this one! This sounds awesome.

another power that would be great is the "Fire starter" power. (You know , like in the movies)

The world would be at your feet, because they would be **** afraid to cross you.

Or, if you choose, don't let them know you started the inferno. They could NEVER prove it.

Lot of cool, or should I say, HOT, possibilities here for magic effects, also.

I would love to be able talk to animals. I think it would be cool to talk with my pet ducks, dogs etc.
