Testing for ESP
Not what you're looking for?
I went over to our Provost last week to try to convince him that I have the ability of Extrasensory Perception (ESP).
I gave him a deck of 10 cards, numbered 1 to 10, and asked him to shuffle them. Then, he would have to look at each card, and concentrate on the number, one at a time.
