The Buddha did not give an important place for the performances of psychic power. In fact bhikku disciples were forbidden from performing psychic power. He too used it only on very special occasions.

He did that because if he went around from village to village performing psychic powers he would have plenty of requisites, plenty of fame and praise but no one would have had the time to sit down, listen, practise and develop the noble eightfold path, acquire the knowledge of the four noble truths and find their way towards liberation. Therefore he played those things down, he did not display them. In fact the bhikku disciple that came in for the highest praise from the Buddha was the Venerable Sariputta. But the great Arahant Sariputta did not have the knowledge of psychic power.
