The time has come to put your brainpower to the test! Try each of the practice exercises below to
familiarize yourself with controlling the ball. Do not put any obstacles on the console yet.
The sensor LEDs (5 lights) on the face of the console will display your level of concentration.
RAISING THE BALL (HIGH CONCENTRATION)
The higher your concentration, the higher the ball will float –
up to a height of approximately 5 inches.
High Concentration
Sensor LEDs
Low Concentration
Exercise #1: Raise the ball as high as you can and try to hold it
there for three seconds.
Tips for Increasing
Concentration
• Relax your face – try not
to move any muscles in
your face.
• Stare at the ball.
Concentrate all of your
attention on it.
• Picture the ball rising.
• Focus your attention on
the exact spot you want
to see it reach.
• Imagine pushing the ball
up with your mind.
• Do math problems in your
head.
• Think the same thought
over and over.
Everyone is different, so
find out what works best
for you!

To move the ball – and the fan nozzle – right or left around the console, turn the control knob.
Turning it clockwise will move the fan in a counter-clockwise direction, and turning it counterclockwise will move the fan in a clockwise direction.
Exercise #4: Concentrate until the ball is floating as high as you can get it. Turn the control knob
and move the ball all the way around the console, trying to keep the ball at the same height.
Turn control knob clockwise to move
fan counter-clockwise
Exercise #5: Once you reach the end, relax your thoughts until the ball is floating as low as you
can get it. Now turn the control knob in the opposite direction and move the ball back the other
way, maintaining the low height of the ball.
Exercise #6: Press ENTER to end the game.
Congratulations! By completing this Quick Start you have begun
to master the power of your mind! Now it’s time to tackle the obstacles!

OBSTACLES
OBSTACLES
It takes serious mental focus to navigate the ball around the Mindflex™ course. Each obstacle you face
along the way will provide a unique “mental block” to challenge your concentration skills.
You will find that some obstacles are more challenging than others. When building your obstacle course,
you may want to start with the easier obstacles first.
Difficulty of
Obstacles
Easy
Ring Towers
Maze Cages

Each ring tower has 5 sockets. Customize the towers by
inserting rings into the sockets at whatever angle you want. A
Plug the ring towers into the console, making sure the rings
point toward the center of the console. B
The following diagrams show how to navigate the ball through
several different ring tower set-ups:
12
OBSTACLES
RING TOWERS
Upper Shelf Panel (2)
OBSTACLES
Notches in each maze cage allow you to add both an upper shelf panel and a lower shelf panel. You
can identify an upper shelf panel by its crosspiece. Lower shelf panels have no crosspiece. A
Wall Panel (2)
MAZE CAGES
Lower Shelf Panel (2)
To add a shelf panel to a maze cage, insert the pins on one side of a shelf into the notches on one
side of a cage (make sure you use an upper shelf panel for the upper notches and a lower shelf
panel for the lower notches). Tilt the shelf down until the pins on the other side of the shelf snap
into the notches on the opposite side of the cage. B
Slide wall panels into their tracks from the bottom of the
maze cages. C
Plug maze cages into the console with their widest side
positioned along the outer edge of the console – you can
identify the wide side of a cage by its open corners. D
13
REMEMBER: You do not need to use all the pieces when building
your maze cages. Just make sure you always create a path that
allows a ball to pass in one side of the cage and out the other.
SAMPLE MAZE CAGE CONFIGURATIONS
To get started, try building the following maze cage.
For a greater challenge, you can place the two cages next to
each other, with the entrance of the first cage at the bottom,
and the exit from the second cage at the top. G
See what other combinations you can come up with!
14
OBSTACLES
Open corners
When both shelves are in position, you can slide a wall
panel into one of four positions to block different paths
through a cage. E
FUNNEL
OBSTACLES
Tabs
Slots
Snap the two halves of the funnel together. Next, line up the tabs in the funnel with the slots in
the funnel base then plug the funnel into the base. A
Attach the funnel to the console so the funnel opening points toward the center of the console.
Navigate this obstacle by traveling through the holes in the side of the funnel – but be careful!
If the ball floats too high, the funnel will spit it out! B
You can also use the base as a stand-alone obstacle.
15
CANNON
Line up the notches in the barrel with the tabs in the elbow and plug
them together. Next, plug the elbow into the cannon base. The elbow will
rotate freely within the base, allowing you to aim the cannon as desired.
Attach the assembled cannon to the console.
For a Greater
Challenge
You can use the cannon
as a stand-alone obstacle.
Try to navigate through
its base without getting
shot out.
Use the cannon with the funnel obstacle. For best performance, position
them directly across the console from each other.
Move the ball through the holes in the cannon base then concentrate to
launch the ball into the funnel!
Adjust the angle of the cannon until you find what works best for you.
Experiment with moving the funnel to different positions around the
console. Simply adjust the angle of the cannon so it points into the
funnel then see how many baskets you can make!

TEETER-TOTTER
OBSTACLES
Plug the teeter-totter into the console so that it follows the curve of the console.
Maneuver the ball above the hole on one side of the teeter-totter then relax your concentration
to lower the ball. B
Once the ball rolls to the other end of the teeter-totter, move the fan nozzle beneath it.
Concentrate to raise the ball out of the teeter-totter and
proceed on your way. C
17
Callibration Point
The calibration point blocks the flow of air from the fan so the ball cannot float above it. However,
by placing the teeter-totter here, you create a bridge that will allow you to travel back and forth
over this point in either direction.
18
OBSTACLES
IMPORTANT: The teeter-totter is the only obstacle that can be placed above
the calibration point.
Clockwise Path
PROPELLER WHEEL
OBSTACLES
Plug both pegs of the propeller wheel into the console. Air from the fan will cause the propeller
wheel to spin in a counter-clockwise direction.
To pass this obstacle, lower the ball onto one of the four loops. Use the fan to gently spin the
propeller wheel until you move the ball to the other side of the obstacle. Be careful – if you spin it
too fast, you’ll knock the ball off! Once the ball is on the other side, levitate the ball from its loop
and continue on your way.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A ONE-WAY OBSTACLE!
Because the propeller wheel only spins in one direction, it will only allow you to travel in one
direction around the course. Depending on the obstacle’s position, you will either be able to travel
in a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction around the console. A B
Direction Arrow
When the propeller wheel is attached to the console, just check the arrow painted on its top – it
points in the direction the ball must travel to pass the obstacle.
Counter-clockwise Path
19
Create whatever course you can imagine by choosing your obstacles and positioning them
wherever you want. You’ll discover hundreds of mind-bending combinations!
When you build an obstacle course, follow these simple guidelines:
1. Obstacles can be positioned anywhere around the console except over the two start spaces.
Start Spaces
should be empty
2. Be sure to leave at least one empty space between
each obstacle.
3. Do not place any obstacles over the calibration point except
the teeter-totter (see page 17-18).
4. Remember, you can only travel past the propeller wheel in one
direction – make sure you set it up in the direction you want
to go (see page 19).

Only the teeter-totter will function
over calibration point.

• Make sure no hair is caught between the sensor and your skin.
• Move the forehead sensor to a slightly different position above your left eye.
• Remove then reattach the clips to your ears.
• Make sure both clips are pressed flat against your ear lobes.
• Leaving the headset on your head, turn the headset off and back on.
• Clean the surfaces of the forehead and ear clip sensors with a cloth or paper towel moistened in warm, soapy water.
