If psychics are real, why has there never been even one single case of a person demonstrating these powers under controlled conditions? [Spirituality & Religion]

How do you control intuition? Like what would the experiment consist of?

The experiments (and there have been many) are done by both the psychic and the experimenters agreeing on the parameters. So the testers make sure that cheating is impossible and that chance is unlikely and the psychics agree that their power should work under the conditions.

None have ever shown any prediction beyond chance.
@Pikachu very interesting! Do you know what parameters they’ve used before like is it a set of unloaded questions with a very specific set of answers that cannot be researched?

It tends to be specific to the person and how they believe their power works.
There's a few groups that offer large cash rewards to anyone who can demonstrate their power. So far no winners.

I've listened to a few of them before but sadly i cannot remember specifics for you now.
