I've briefly tried the finger method, but seem to get the same resistance for both Yes and No. I'm sure it takes practice and patience and I will spend more time with this a little later. My friend knows how to do the pendulum, so I'll pick up some tips from her.
As a newbie, I'm concentrating more on trying to get my DNA right so that the bean will work as I seem to be unable to get it to jive. I did, however, get two massive hits w/ footpads while running Newports Clostridium scriipt on two consecutive nights...unmistakeably hits as I got the same results both times.
