Siddhi is a Sanskrit word that literally means "perfection", "accomplishment", "attainment", or "success". It is also used as a term for spiritual power (or psychic ability). The term is used in that sense in Hinduism and Tantric Buddhism. These spiritual powers supposedly vary from relatively simple forms of clairvoyance to being able to levitate, to be present at various different places simultaneously, to become as small as an atom, to materialize objects, to have access to memories from past lives, and more. 
There is the concept of the Ashta Siddhi (eight siddhis) in Hinduism. These are:

A
imā: reducing one's body even to the size of an atom 
Mahimā: expanding one's body to an infinitely large size 
Garima: becoming infinitely heavy 
Laghimā: becoming almost weightless 
Prāpti: having unrestricted access to all places 
Prākāmya: realizing whatever one desires 
I
ṣṭva: possessing absolute lordship; 
Vaśtva: the power to subjugate all. 

In the Srimad Bhagavatam Lord Krishna describes the Ten Secondary Siddhis as:
anūrmi-mattvam: Being undisturbed by hunger, thirst, and other bodily disturbances 
dūra-śrava
a: Hearing things far away 
dūra-darśanam: Seeing things far away 
mana
-javah: Moving the body wherever thought goes (teleportation) 
kāma-rūpam: Assuming any form desired 
para-kāya praveśanam: Entering the bodies of others
