If there's one thing every person did when they were a kid, it's pretend to have Matilda powers. Seriously, I'd be willing to put money on the fact that if you're an 80s or 90s kids, you spent a fair bit of time pointing at lamps to try at turn them on, and gawping at Cheerios boxes to see if you could move them without touching them - just to check if you have a bit of telekinesis going for you. After all, you never knew...
If you're anything like five-year-old me, after hours of frantically staring out household items, you probably came to the conclusion that you were, in fact, not Matilda. However, with the arrival of the latest viral challenge - fully supported by film star Mara Wilson - we all finally have a chance to relive our childhood dreams. Let me introduce #TheMatildaChallenge, the new trend that has people moving everyday objects with their minds.
