I have good hand, eye coordination. I can balance items, like brooms on my little finger. I can whistle loudly without putting my fingers in my mouth.

Hmmm... Where to start 
I am a soul sniffer, I smell the spirit world (which includes the energy of dead people and things) . I can see amazingly in the dark, I have like a 3 foot vertical, I can also juggle, I can also throw knives very well, I can also throw shurikens (ninja stars) very well. With my martial arts skills, I can use many different weapons, but the nunchakus are the only ones I have mastered. I once jumped off of a 2 story building and landed without rolling. And didn't hurt myself. I have amazing spit accuracy, like I said in another thread, I can hit bees and flies out of the air. I am very good at climbing trees, I can sew (unusual for a guy I guess). I am a polydactyl, but thats not really a talent so never mind .

I am actually good at one thing!!!! I am very good at improvising; mending things with odd bits here and there. I'm the kind of 'saddo' who goes past a dustbin outside a block of flats, sees a vacuum cleaner handle sticking out of the bin, with electric flex (and I cant resist a bit of that), carries the cleaner back home, and then mends it.
We have 'backup' electrical items of virtually everything; I refuse to move to a bigger house, because we'd end up with more space and therefore more junk!
When he was only five or so, he'd come home, all excited, with a nut or a bolt and proudly hand it to me, knowing I would appreciate it...........

I am psychic.
today for example, we had a test in math. I knew absolutely nothing on it, so I guessed the answers (it was multiple choice). I didn't even read the questions. I got a 70. Also, recently I've been predicting songs on radio stations and getting them right. Strange stuff.

lol, yes actually it is.
I personally don't think psychics are all that "impossible". I believe some people are just very very good at analyzing situations/settings and predicting an outcome.
And not people like John Edwards who hires background searches on his guests. More like Ms. Cleo, the TRUE psychic. =D

John Edwards doesn't hire background searches. Hes just very good at reading peoples expressions. Not psychic at all, just very observant. Ms. Cleo was also a crack, I wish these people weren't around giving the real ones a bad image.

Skeptics call Edward's performance a scam or hoax. Believers point out that Edward was tested under controlled laboratory conditions by psychologist Gary Schwartz, who concluded his abilities were genuine. Part of the test involved "reading" the subject while knowing nothing about them and before talking to them or seeing them. Skeptics then reply that CSICOP's Ray Hyman has severely critiqued Schwartz's methods. Dr. Schwartz replies that Dr. Hyman has simply ignored many facts, and that this is not acceptable in science.
Skeptics say that Edward's techniques are identical with the technique of cold reading, one of the ways many demonstrated hoax psychics fool their clients and audiences. The show is accused by its critics of being heavily edited, with a half-hour show taking up to six hours to tape, in which failed attempts are removed. It is also alleged that Edwards' staff collect information on people before a reading takes place - a technique termed "hot reading". The show's producers deny this charge. This sort of back-and-forth is characteristic of the entire field, which arouses strong emotions.
The show has attracted many believers, as evidenced by its popularity. In defense of Edward, many believers point out unique things that he has said about dead people that they believe he could not have known unless he could in fact communicate with the deceased. This, proof of immortality, gives the grieving, teary eyed, seekers comfort.
Arguments supporting both sides.
