Ailz has a witchy party trick where she dowses the number and sex of a person's children (already born or to come) by swinging a pendulum over their open palm. It works with both men and women- and I've never known her get it wrong. Here she is performing it with our niece, Jenny.

These things work in real life- but when they're tested under laboratory conditions they almost always fail. It's a weird old world.
