Are there scientific explanations to psychokinesis and telepathy?

Just saw Keith Barry's talk, and I've personally been a part of such events where my own thoughts have been 'read'. I read a lot of evolutionary psychology and everything in the world seems very explainable, but this is one area that has always amazed and confused me.

How do we explain such stuff? Wikipedia states that it has not really worked out in controlled experiments and such phenomena have not been established scientifically. Then are all such exhibitions a mere trick?

    Sep 7 2011: Matthieu trust me I would LOVE to believe that they're just con artists since it fits into my understanding of the world. So it can't be the case that I wanted to believe it (wouldn't be asking this question then, right?). So they're just fooling us? Any brain magician have anything to say..?
