How do I get my home-made Ouija board to work?

Question

I printed out a template for a Ouija board.

The paper is fairly smooth and I tried using a small glass for a pointer, and I tried asking if there was anyone there but the pointed didn't move. At all. Even when I sort of tried it with my boyfriend earlier.

I want to test this thing out on my own and get it work but it doesn't want to work for me.

Any help/advice please?!

P.S, I do not want any answers like "Ouija boards are evil, don't use them!" I want to do this, and I am doing it.

Answer 1

The ouija board is just a game that you can buy in most toy stores and department stores, an ordinary piece of wood or plastic or cardboard. It has no supernatural powers. It does not communicate with the dead and it does not contact spirits. It does not open any portals to the underworld or to anywhere else. The people using the ouija board make it work through ideomotor movement. Some people can make it work and some can't. Here are a few links that discuss ouija boards and how they work.

Answer 2

It won't move all the time everytime. And I am not trying to be ignorant when I say this, but: Make sure there are spirits in the area where you use your board...

Answer 3

spirits aren't fooled by home made boards, you need to buy it from toys-r-us...it has the best cardboard and plastic
