Pendulums

Hold the cord between the thumb and first finger of your right hand, if you are righthanded. (Use your left, if you are left-handed.) Rest your elbow on a table and allow the pendulum to swing freely an inch or so above the surface of the table. Stop the movement of the weight with your free hand. Then ask the pendulum to move in a direction that means "yes." The pendulum may start moving immediately, or it might take a while. Once it starts, it will either move from side to side, backwards and forwards, or rotate in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. Take note of the movement. This is what the pendulum will do when the answer is “Yes”.
