The hottest new toy trend for 2009 are mind control games. The Mattel Mindflex game has been introduced at CES 2009 and got a bigger exposure at the the Toy Fair 2009.

Mattel Mindflex makes you look like a little Uri Geller as you levitate a small ball with the power of your mind.
The Mindflex headset contains sensors that measure your brainwave activity. When you focus your concentration, a small foam ball starts to levitate as the sensor signal controls an air stream in the Mindflex base.
The more you concentrate the higher the ball rises. When you relax your mind the ball descends. With a knob you then have to guide the foam ball through an obstacle course. See a video of Mattel Mindfex in action below.

Amazon.com is taking pre-orders for the hot Mattel Mindflex Game now for $99.99. Amazon is starting to ship Mindflex on October 1st. Update: Mindflex already ships.
