Choose something that weighs at least three ounces and attach it to four to six inches of cord. You can buy pendulums at any new age store, but any weight suspended on cord or chain will act as an impromptu pendulum. Of course, even though a pendulum is simple to use, it takes practice to become good at it. I doubt that she'd consider the pendulum "too simple" to bother with.

Consequently, whenever she eats away from home she uses a pendulum to determine if there is any MSG in the meal. She has had several hospital stays as a result of inadvertently consuming it. She is allergic to MSG (monosodium glutamate) that is sometimes used as a flavor enhancer. She owes her life to the humble pendulum. Despite its ease and usefulness, I have met many people who learned how to use it and then discarded it as it was "too simple." At least one of my students would disagree.

These examples show the versatility and possibilities of this simple tool.

After frantically searching the immediate neighborhood, they used a pendulum to locate the exact spot where he was. People who were house-sitting next door to us lost their pet rabbit. They used a pendulum to determine which sights they should see. After finishing their business, they had one free day before coming home. Some friends went to Paris on a business trip. He looked at all six, and finally bought the car that the pendulum had indicated. The pendulum gave a positive response to six cars, and eventually told him which car he should buy. He looked through the advertisements in the daily paper and asked his pendulum about the cars that sounded interesting. Just recently, a friend of mine decided to buy a car. It is an amazing tool that can be used for many different purposes.

When someone holds it by the thread and asks a question, the weight moves and provides the answer. A pendulum is a small weight attached to a length of chain or thread.
