In 1992， a group of young college students were forced to participate in the following three unspeakable， psychic experiments：
Projected Force— A subject was psychologically MADE to think of a playing card without any being present. NOTICE： This is the original method that became a famous UK mentalist’s favorite.
Peek Book— Without a single book in view， another subject was instructed to merely think of a word. She never wrote it down， yet unconsciously made it evident to the experimenter. An apparent “bookless-booktest.”
ESPed— A subject was finally instructed to draw any picture he imagined on an index card. This experiment was conducted across the room and the experimenter never touched the card， yet he still had total knowledge of the design. Now the experimenter becomes the experimented! The required props for this full routine are as bare as the skeletons buried behind the laboratory. It’s shockingly direct!
“This is the closest thing to real mind reading I’ve ever seen!”
