Experiment 3
This third Psi Experiment is, hopefully, better designed from the scientific point of view and its results will be better able to determine the availability of any kind of psi effect.
Imagine the following experiment which you could do at your home with a couple of your friends, named Bob and John for the story below.
You buy a deck of playing cards and remove any card which is not a number. So, you're left with cards 2 to 10 of each suit. You sit around a table. Bob takes a piece of paper. He divides it into two columns: guess and correct answer.
You sit opposite John and Bob is on your side. John takes the cards, reshuffles them. Takes the top card and puts in on the table face down, of course. You use your visualization, dowsing or just guess, what color is the card and you say it.
Bob writes your answer down under the guess column. He then carefully takes the card, looks at it and writes its real color under the correct answer column. He then hands the card back to John, who returns it to the deck and reshuffles it to present you with the next card. During the whole experiment only Bob gets to see the real color of the cards.
This third psi experiment will allow you to take part in this, only Bob and John will be replaced by the computer, who will not get tired of constant "reshuffling". It might actually be better, since the computer can shuffle cards (select a random card) better than a human.
You can play in this experiment as many times as you want, since the cards are selected each time at random. I ask you to play this at least around 20 times.
I've photographed 36 cards (2 to 10)*(4 suits). The photos look similar, though, since they were all photographed using the same conditions in order to avoid creating any bias.
In the form below you'll be presented with a photograph of a card, laying on a table. Using methods like visualization, or even simple intuition, select if the card is of the color red (hearts and diamond) or black (clubs and spades). You can play as long as you want and I ask you to perform at least 20 trials. You will see statistics of your guesses after each time you finish 20 trials.
For convenience, the information that you'll enter into the form fields (except the result) will be saved between trials. So you only need to enter your details once.
