   As an informal, "hobby" study, that's the kind of thing.   
   Pick a "tall thing" to rest your cards on.  Something with enough room on   
   the top for a hand holding a card, that you can reach, and that you can't   
   see the top of from anywhere in the room (typically a wardrobe). Shuffle a   
   deck of cards with your eyes closed. Stand by the tall thing, close your   
   eyes, cut the deck and take the first three cards and put them face up on   
   the all thing.   
      
   Turn round, open your eyes and walk away!   
      
   When you are OOB note the cards and their colours, _write it down_, and   
   then check the cards.   
      
   Ideally, you'd use a range of distinct objects rather than cards (since   
   they provide more clues), but that's little harder to do in practice.
