While it is true that all scientific tests have pretty much disproven such events, for the "true-believers", that's not quite enough to make them let it go.
In order to determine whether or not you may be psychic, you would have to be able to demonstrate a consistent and statistically significant ability to guess correctly.
For example: If you were to guess whether a coin was going to land heads-side up, you would have a 50% chance of being correct if you only guessed heads every single time. If you had three cards and had to pick the one that someone was thinking of, you'd have a 33% chance, and so on.
I believe there are 7 symbols generally used in in a zenith deck. Probability says that you will have at LEAST a 14% chance (I looked, but was unable to find what the actual probability of guessing correctly would be). Now, this doesn't mean that if you are able to guess 1 in 7 that you are psychic. The thing with probabilities is that sometimes, just as a matter of luck, you're going to guess more correctly than at other times. This is why all science experiments are repeated; to show that the results were not just a fluke occurance and statistically insignificant.
Now, even assuming that you were able to guess correctly 85% of the time (which is significantly above chance and well into "super power" range) you would still need to get external confirmation by non-biased sources in order to "prove" it. If you don't care about proof, sure, you're psychic. Who cares.
