OUIJA
A Ouija board (also known as spirit board or talking board) is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and other symbols, theoretically used to communicate with spirits. It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a seance. The fingers of the séance participants are placed on the planchette, which then moves about the board to spell out messages.
Planchette
A trademark used for a board with the alphabet and other symbols on it, and a planchette that is thought, when touched with the fingers, to move in such a way as to spell out spiritualistic and telepathic messages on the board.
EBAY
A Ouija board does not really allow communication with the dead or 'spirits'. The board has marked areas for letters and statements (eg Yes/No - hence its name which is Yes in French and German), which the planchette supposedly moves onto to indicate messages.The planchette actually moves because the people playing, each rest their fingertips on the planchette, and it is not possible for everyone to do this for any length of time without the balance of everyone's finger pressure being uneven and moving the planchette.
it is called a planchette
There are many ways to "release a spirit" from a ouija board. You can move the planchette backwards through the numbers, invite the spirit to come out formally, or move the planchette off of the board during a conversation with a spirit. Beware! It is NEVER a good idea to invite a spirit into your home (or anyone else's.) Spirits are tricky, and not to be trusted. Stay Safe! ALJ

You need a board with the whole alphabet and 0-9 on it, a short cup or planchette, 2 people to hold a hand lightly on the planchette, and 1 person recording down what the board says in response to the question.
Planchette
It is said to be a combination of spiritual energy and the spirit using your body to move the planchette across the board.
A ouija board and planchette made out of anything has the potential of working. However I advise that you proceed with caution.
