Not when you know the methods depicted can't effect that result in real life. I'd think if you actually desired such power then you'd want to focus on ways to actually achieve it.

I mean sure - I get it's nice to fantasize about having such an ability, but as one outgrows other childhood trappings then I'd expect that to be left behind for something more realistic as well. But then, I guess it fits with the fact so many people never grow up at all, anyway.
