Show Using these cards, we can do a home version of a classic parapsychology experiment. These Zenfer cards are used to test mental telepathy and precognition. There are five star, a cross, a square, a circle and three wavy lines. These patterns were chosen because of their unmistakeable clarity of form. To start with, we need to construct a objects with our minds. After the experiment is concluded we can test the results by a simple statistical calculation: If the Zener cards are carefully shuffled, the subject stae nds a chance of correctly identifying each card as it is dealt. So, out of a pack of 50 cards, the subject could expect to make 10 correct guesses by chance alone. Consistent correct guesses of more than 10 per deck could be taken as pat-tems- -a pack of 60 Zener cards by making ten copies of each of some evidence pattern. The experiment can be dune in various ways: The experimenter can look at a card, while the subject in another room, attempts to read the experimenters mind to demonstrate telepathy. The subject shouts out his answers so the experimenter can record them. It is also possible in do this experiment in the same room if the subject is carefully panan-orm- blind- table. . Skeptics maintain that such practice violates scie-tifi- c standards for testing, and since parapsychology before they are shuffled' depends on statistical therby testing ability precognit-ion-th- e to move tric- kery, the effects are not conclusive. .

Parapsychologists state that even person with psychic talent cannot perform uniformly well, and it is unfair to invalidate their guesses when they are guessing badly. The very nature of psychic phenomena, they conclude, is spontaneous and unpredic- folded.
