Kibbles, I would be interested to know about the things you have experimented with that provided results.
Let's see...
Things that had results:The Orgone Healing Device
(Results were the exact opposite of expected. The device seemed to nauseate people when pointed at their foreheads. Few of the test subjects were told about the device. Some were sleeping. There were skeptics among those who were told about the device. All experienced diziness, nausea, and a feeling of weakness after a minute or two.
Psi wheel
It moved at least. The room had airconditioning off, doors/windows closed, and I was about 5 feet from the thing with cloth over my nose and mouth
Microtelekinesis using dice
Statistically, it appears to have some effect.
Attempted to roll 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with 6 dice and got higher results than the control results.
Chi based martial arts systems (Qigong, Tai Chi, Etc.)
Results match theory. Had help from friend's Kung Fu/Tai Chi Instructor
Self transformation spell
Results were painful and involountary muscle spasms for an hour or more.
No actual transformation took place.
No other readily available explanation aside from temporary spontaneous epilepsy.
Local healing using system similar to acupuncture
I wasn't the healer here and my brother was the test subject. The healer detected physical discomforts without anyone informing him. Results similar to medical doctors evaluation and the treatment seemed effective
Curing a friends headache by force of will
The result was that the friends hair stood up and wouldn't go down for a few hours
Things that didn't work out:Astral projection
I consistently experienced irrational feeling of panic before anything happened. Quit trying after 3 days.
Seance
Complete no go. Nothing at all happened. Made out with companion instead.
Teleportation spell
Well. Nothing happened at all either.
Get rich quick spell
Well, I got richer a bit but that was probably more due to my finishing school and getting a job.
Voodoo Doll
I suppose i had no idea what I was supposed to be doing anyway
Somewhat Dubious things that seemed to work:Calling Lightning (Ritual I found in some crummy old book in school library)
Possibly coincidental but the frequency of lightning appeared to increase and my friend's car was hit by lightning while he was driving.
Indistinguishable from coincidence.
Pranic Healing
Seems to work but possibly a placebo effect. No means of testing it.
Hiding in plain sight
Using ninja techniques mentioned in a dubious "ninja" book
People started bumping me and a slow moving car didn't stop until it hit me. Possibly coincidence.
Unrelated to the supernatural:Vending machine lottery
Sometimes if you put several orders in quick succession and then mess with the buttons you get more softdrinks than you paid for. Sometimes it eats the coins.
Partially dislocating shoulder joint without hurting myself
Got me out of PE class for a day.
Puppy intelligence training
The dog grew smart enough to learn how to turn off an AVR to shut down its owners computer. Owner was quite upset.
