Nonsense, I do that all the time.
Furthermore I can also give you a few dozen types of different examples (not concerning myself) of how thought affects reality, without any physical action by the thinker.
For example, I can show you a study on how people asked to imagine themselves working out in the gym, soon attain an actual increase in muscular strength.
I can show you another study about how pet rats who are believed by their owners to be smart eventually develop superior navigational ability in a maze.
I can show you studies on how people with broken bones or surgical wounds will heal significantly faster, if they undergo hypnosis and are given hypnotic suggestions that they are healing rapidly.
I can give you well-documented examples of levitation, through sheer concentration.
On a more prosaic level, the ability of thoughts to affect reality is quite easily observable in yourself. Think angry thoughts and your blood pressure goes up; have a sexual fantasy and you'll get an erection; imagine yourself relaxing on an idyllic beach, and your breathing slows down; keep thinking stressful thoughts and you get stomach ulcers or sweaty palms. Etc etc.
