Are you psychic?

Are your psychic powers for real?  While many people say no, some scientists believe certain people do have extrasensory perception, or ESP.  So how would you like to test your psychic abilities?  You'll need a friend, some props, and an open mind!

1) Sit in a comfortable chair and, if you like, put earplugs in your ear and a blindfold over your eyes.  Have a friend go into another room and concentrate on a simple picture in a book.  Make sure he/she focuses on sending the picture to you.  See if you receive any images.

2) Get two pads of paper and two pencils.  Have your friend go into another room and draw some images (agree how many beforehand).  Sketch what comes to you.  See if your pictures are close.

3) Take twenty-five index cards.  Pick five different symbols (simple ones like a square, circle, sun or a triangle) and draw a symbol on each card.  Then have a friend hold up the cards, one at a time, and concentrate on the image.  Number a piece of paper from one to twenty-five, sit across the room, and write down the symbol you think she is looking at as she studies each card.  If you have more than five correct, you may have a but psychic ability.  But if you only get five or less right, don't worry about it.  Studies show that ESP abilities seem to come and go.  You may just be having an off day.
