2012 World Telekinesis Competition

Team Profiles


B.E.NT. = (brain elevating neurotransmissions)


B.E.N.T. is a triad of like minded individuals who spend most of their time seeking in some form to change the nature of how they navigate in contemporary society. As we do not yet understand our future we are all in a quagmire of uncertainty. The World Telekinesis Competition is definitely dabbling in the uncertain and B.E.NT. is well prepared for the challenge.
