- Terrifying, I hate this.
We're done, we're done, I'm not playing anymore.
(upbeat orchestral music)
It's Caryn.
- And Connie.
- And yes, we're twins.
- What?
- As twins, we get a lot of weird questions
about twin theories.
Specifically things like do you feel each other's pain,
do you guys have your own language,
but the thing people wanna know the most
is if we have telepathy.
- So telepathy is the thing where people believe
that we can communicate with only our minds.
The only things that I've ever thought
I wonder if she can actually hear what's going on in here
is whenever I'm thinking of a song
and all of a sudden you'll start singing it.
- That's true.
- Or sometimes I have felt like anxious
if you feel anxious.
Or excited when you feel excited.
And that could just be like being around you,
but what if it's something more?
- So we're gonna put it to the test today.
And we're going to try to see
if we actually do have telepathy.
- When looking for a way to test this,
I, of course, went to Google.
And found out that in the 1930s,
there was a test that they actually did
to look for telepathy, and it's called the Zener Cards.
Duke psychologists Karl Zener and J.B. Rhine
designed the five unique cards for experimental
Extra Sensory Perception research.
In one version of their experiments,
the tester would hold the back of the card up to the subject
and then ask the subject to guess which design
was on the front of the card.
We're gonna do a test based off this today.
- Now how many of these do we have to get right
to have telepathy?
- Probability states that we'll at least
get 1/5 of these right,
so if we get more than like one or two, pretty good.
Alright, let's do this.
- That was really intense.
- It's supposed to be.
Okay, so I'm going to go first.
I am going to select a card at random
and Connie is going to decide which card she thinks it is.
We're both gonna set them down to the side
and see at the end how many we got right.
And now we're gonna shuffle.
- Everyday I'm shufflin'.
- Alright, channeling.
- Oh sorry sorry sorry.
- Okay.
- Yes.
- I have picked the card.
- Really look at it and think about it.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
- Okay.
- Got any sixes?
(laughing)
Selection made?
- Yes. - Alright.
(laughing)
- We only have three?
- Three left.
(climactic music)
- Okay, you ready to show.
So we'll start with the last card we did first.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Okay, one's a fluke.
(both sighing)
It makes like a river scene.
- That is beautiful.
(laughing)
- So we know that another one in here has to be wrong.
- That's true.
(groaning)
I genuinely, I'm like already shocked by this.
- Three, two, one.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little
- I'm like lightheaded.
Guys, I'm serious, we are not cheating on this.
Like legitimately.
- Which means this one's definitely a bust, right?
So this is another, okay,
this is another one of these.
- Yeah.
Three out of five.
I mean, that ain't even shabby.
- Okay, so we're gonna do the same thing this round,
but this time, I'm gonna be picking the cards
and Caryn's gonna be trying to match them
through our minds.
Okay, I've picked one.
Okay, alright, I'm gonna try to send it to you.
- Okay send it.
- Are you ready?
- I'm so ready.
I got it.
(fun orchestral music)
(laughing)
- This is for twins everywhere.
So, the stakes could not be higher.
(giggling)
(both gasp)
- This is wacking you out.
That one is just luck.
- Okay, yeah, that one was just for fun.
Okay. - Okay.
- Okay, three, two, one.
(shrieking)
You know what, yeah yeah, you know what,
actually just go ahead.
Just show me, is it?
Yeah, it is.
Cool, cool cool cool cool cool.
Cool cool cool cool cool cool.
- Oh my god, terrifying, I hate this.
We're done.
Guys, that was insane.
- And amazing!
(laughing)
- I do feel a little bit like we have a super power though.
- Like a little bit.
So now that we know that one twin myth is probably true,
makes me a little bit worried that the others are.
Like maybe we can feel each other's pain.
- Don't!
I saw it coming a mile away.
Maybe we do have telepathy.
(laughing)
(fun music)
