Teleporting, for sure.

Among the many fake Mark Twain relics I've been offered (cigar boxes,
pens, a trunk, a chair or two, a guitar, a gold watch, etc.) there was
an iron bed he slept in "from a roadside inn where he stayed every time
he visited Nebraska" and a jukebox in Waco, Texas that he fed nickels
every time he was in Texas.
