You've got to destroy the brain before he realizes what's going on. I'd sneak up behind him with a 12-gauge loaded with buckshot and vaporize his head. No hesitation.
shareI think you have to think about flowers and sunsets until he falls asleep. Once he is asleep, act fast.
shareActually why can't they just wait until he's asleep? I forget if he can read minds, but they could also give him poison. So many ways. It's a logical flaw to the plot.
shareYeah, he can read minds. That's why everyone has to think happy thoughts all the time. It seems like he can't dive into your head and search around for information, but he can "hear" what you're thinking at any given moment.
That said... the kid's gotta sleep. I can't see why someone in the town didn't sneak into his bedroom at two o'clock in the morning and blow his brains out.
A buckshot eh

I don't understand though - so Anthony turned him into a jack in the box and then wished him into the cornfield. But what does that mean, wishing into the cornfield? Did he just wish the bodies or anybody he didn't like into corn or what?

Yes, out of sight - out of mind. Anthony didn't mind dispatching anyone he didn't like, he just didn't want to have to look at them after he did.
you have to do it and never think about it.
BUT IT'S TOO LATE.. you find yourself in the cornfield.
