I've been reading the posts and would love to throw some ideas in. With a little bit of patience and practice, I think it's easy and possible for anybody to see their own psychic ability in action.

There are several good online tools that can help test psychic perception. My favorite is http://www.psychicproject.com

I just went through the targets again and was able to get several hits that would be impossible to guess (there are objects and people that have been recently interviewed which serve as the psychic targets). I think the biggest thing is first having an open mind, not being a sucker, but having an open mind.

When I first got into testing my abilities for fun like this, I thought I would prove the whole process wrong, which I was always able to do. But when I made a shift, my results made a shift. Who knows, maybe it's all in my head. Anyway, just something to ponder.
