Award-winning journalist Gary Nunn investigates psychics, mediums and astrologers to understand their uncanny, under-investigated and unregulated power. Gary's sister Taren consults mediums to process grief after a death in their family. Gary, concerned she's being exploited, remains sceptical. When he reports on a clairvoyant's link to a huge stockbroking firm collapse, personal questions become professional. Why do so many surprising people believe? So begins a two-year investigation into the colourful world of psychic-mediums and sceptic activists. Gary tries out some psychics himself, sometimes with hilarious results. He hears about their secret influence over world leaders, CEOs, news editors and the criminal justice system. Believe in them or not, psychics can impact who will date you, befriend you and even who'll hire you. The Psychic Tests is a moving examination of trust, faith and connection. Strap yourself in - things are about to get weird.

Tests to determine your psychic powers.

Known as the “Psychic to the Stars,” Richard Ireland counseled celebrities including Mae West, Amanda Blake, and Glenn Ford. Twelve years after Ireland’s death in 1992, his son Mark was sent this manuscript, written in 1973. Recently, as Mark Ireland recounts in the foreword, two psychic-mediums with no prior knowledge of the project have received messages suggesting that his father deliberately delayed the book’s release until now, when it would reach an audience more receptive to developing their psychic talents. Your Psychic Potential includes a description of the four spheres/levels of psychic activity, an exploration of the relationship between artistic talents and the psychic, tests and experiments to help unleash psychic ability, a psychic’s diet and meditative exercises that support the freer flow of abilities, and tools to counter inhibitory fears. Anyone interested in discovering their extrasensory talents and achieving conscious control over them is sure to find this an indispensable guide.

Psychic abilities such as telepathic communication, clairvoyance, and premonitions have intrigued believers and the curious for ages. In How to Test and Develop Your ESP, Paul Huson provides those interested in psychic phenomena with experiments to help discover and strengthen their own skills. Favoring practice over theory, Huson shares his years of research and experiments with people interested in unlocking their potential. The book covers extra-sensory perception as well as interpreting dreams, recalling the lives of past incarnations, understanding the out-of-body experience, experimenting with psychokinesis, and exploring other parapsychological phenomena.

Do you think you or somebody you know might have psychic powers? This book lets you test if you or friends have actual psychic or spiritual powers.
