Product Description
Synopsis
Have you ever wondered whether you have psychic powers? This book encourages you to try your hand and contains a set of experiments that should help you find answers to the following questions: does telepathy exist?; do cystals have special powers?; how do dowsers find underground water supplies?; why do pendulums spin?; can you influence other people's dreams?; how have people managed to predict the future?; does astrology work?; and what are auras and how do you see them?
From the Author
Find out the truth for yourself - do the experiments!
Would you like to know whether ESP really exists? Or who's right about precognition, or the powers of the ouija board? Have you ever bought a crystal or tried dowsing and wondered whether they really work? And what about astrology? The best way to find out is to do your own experiments. Then you can rely on your own results and not just someone else’s opinion. This book tells you how.

Then you can rely on your own results and not just someone else’s opinion. This book tells you how.
There are ten chapters. Each starts with the story of an extraordinary experience or phenomenon, from premonitions that came true to the powers of mind over matter. This is followed by directions for carrying out both simple and more complicated experiments. Some can be easily done at home on your own, while others are better suited to groups of friends or students. Many are ideal for school or college projects. Simple statistics are explained and tables given for working out the significance your results. The book would be a useful text for simple courses on experimental design or critical thinking.
Why did we write the book? Adam and I have both had years of experience hunting for psychic phenomena - me as an academic parapsychologist carrying out experiments and studying case reports, and he as a television producer, making programmes like Arthur C Clarke’s World of Strange Powers. And we both had the same experience - that the more we investigated the more skeptical we became. I have often found myself arguing with people that psychic phenomena probably do not exist. But I might be wrong, and I would rather that other people formed their own opinion. The only way to do that properly is to try some experiments for yourself. I hope you enjoy them.

Interesting book, 19 Oct 2002
By magellan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Test Your Psychic Powers (Paperback)
I suspect a microencephalic aardvark has more psychic ability than I do, but I looked at this book to see if there was any help for over-educated but psychically benighted Neanderthals like myself. Unfortunately, they don't tell you know to acquire these esoteric abilities, but for those lucky souls who already possess mental powers far beyond those of us mere mortals, this book is full of interesting tests if you want to test your psychic quotient, so to speak.
