cards with shapes

okay, maybe y'll can help me. I am looking for a type of card that is used both for fortune telling as well as psychic exercises. Each card has a shape or set of lines. They were featured in the movie "The Gift", but I'm fairly sure that they were around before the movie and are real. I'd like to know what they are called, and even perhaps where I can get some. Thank you so much.

You mean these?

They don't tell the future, they're only for testing if someone is telepathic. A second person looks at one at a time & the subject being tested says what the card is. Depending on the % of accurate 'hits', a person's esp ability is supposed to be rated.

they are called zener cards. they've been around at least since the 60's, as i remember playing with them then.

here are some links to earlier discussions of the cards and movie. i think one of the threads may have had a link to a site where you can print them out yourself. enjoy!
