By looking at a man's hat, Sherlock Holmes could tell that the owner was left-handed and lived upstairs in a building without gaslights. That was observation, not psychic ability.
Charlatans use the same observation skills to pose as psychics. If we all made good use of observation skills, there wouldn't be nearly as much talk about psychic abilities.
