We improve your performance! For a small fee (payable in bitcoins!) we'll assign a team of specialists to meditate and focus on improved performance for YOUR mining rig. All we'll need is a picture of your setup and the name you've given it, and we can get to work immediately.

Or are you instead very concerned about the power of large pools? For the same price, we'll assign our team toward lowering the performance of the major pool of your choice!

BME. Trust us, it works!

Didn't Art Bell try something like this, only with a hurricane?

If willpower also works from distance, some envious jerk in other side of world probably are causing you to find less blocks than expected.

Well...  I am up to 42Ghash and I regularly go into my mining rooms and read "The Little Engine That Could" to them.  Does this count?

So, there have been scientific experiments that suggest that research participants were successfully able to modify "random" processes.  Specifically, participants were able to significantly affect the outcome of a computer coin-flip program beyond what could be expected due to chance alone.  So, if a participant wanted more "heads" to appear, more "heads" actually appeared in the outcome, and at a frequency beyond what could be expected due to chance.

Has anybody ever tried this with Bitcoin mining and noticed that they have been solving blocks at a faster-than-expected rate?  Preferably, this would apply to people with significantly higher hash rates (> 10 g/hash) over a period of at least 1 year, or maybe 6 months.  I doubt many people fall into this category.
