Hydrokinesis is the ability to manipulate water through supernatural or psychic means, often showcased in mentalism and psychic entertainment as a demonstration of extraordinary mind power.

Performers may appear to control the movement, shape, or temperature of water, creating illusions such as making water rise from a surface, form specific patterns, or freeze instantaneously. These feats are typically achieved through a combination of advanced sleight of hand, hidden mechanisms, and psychological misdirection.

The term hydrokinesis, derived from the Greek words “hydor” (water) and “kinesis” (movement), evokes a sense of mystical control over a fundamental element. While hydrokinesis is not scientifically validated and is regarded as an illusion, hydrokinesis invariably evokes awe and wonder.
