I just read a Lyn Buchanan book "The Seventh Sense" and read the reviews and it is obvious that many people think this sort of stuff can work so I came up with a very simple test using playing cards. The aim is to test it by probability to beat a one in a million chance, or whatever lower chance you choose to practice with, and know that it is easily testable and can be backed up with statistics. This is an easy test that people who think they have remote viewing skills can do. It is based on a binomial probability calculator on the following page:

The idea is to remove the court cards from a pack of playing cards so you are left with 40 cards, Ace to Ten of four suits (by removing the court cards you are sure that what is printed on the card is either red or black but not a mixture). Then shuffle the pack of 40 and without looking at the face of the card or feeling the face of the card and with no possibility to pick up a reflection, to remote view whether the card is a red suit or a black suit. If you have the impression it is red then place on the left. If with the impression of black then place on the right. When done, check the piles and remove the cards incorrectly placed in a pile and then tally the correct cards. Suppose you have 35 correct cards, subtract one from that tally and use the binomial calculator to see what probability you have beaten to get greater than 34 cards correct. Putting in the numbers 0.5, 40, 34 in the top three boxes then to get more than 34 correct would have a probability of 6.9 x 10^-7 which means you will have beaten a one in a million chance and you will be well on the way to becoming famous.
