Tomorrow night (the 26th) I'm hosting a "spooky magic" Halloween party for a group of 16 people who've paid good money to be entertained. I'll be using a completely straight ouija board for the first time, and by the end of the evening I'm hoping that a combination of idiomotor function, suggestion, alcohol, and picking the right 3 people to place their fingers on the glass will actually get the darned thing to move!

Beforehand I will be setting the scene with a few tarot readings, pk silverware, a Black Hart stunt or two, and the grand seance from Docc Hillord. So even if the ouija glass doesn't budge, I reckon the punters will have had their money's worth (they're getting food and exchanging ghost stories too), but I'm absolutely determined that the ouija will come off - even if I have to place my own fingers on the glass to get it to move!

Will report back on just how succesful it all was!

Best of luck Paul!
Please tell us "all 'bout it"

Good luck and I look forward to reading about how you got on.

have fun and good luck

Phew! Just returned home from hosting the "spooky magic" party at a local restaurant. There's no way I can sleep at the moment because I'm so hyped up by what a great night it's been!

All the lead up (tarot, pk silverware, black hart stunts, and the seance) worked perfectly, and I'd selected my three volunteers to conduct the ouija board experiment with care.

I'd forced a card on all of the volunteers, and told them that we would get the spirit to tell us what card they had memorised. I also used the "you can do this, you can absolutely get the glass to move" suggestion to implant the true nature of the ouija into their minds.

The volunteers placed their fingertips on the glass, and I began by asking if there was a spirit present. Nothing happened. For what seemed an absolute age, the glass refused to move. There were a few sniggers from the on-lookers and a few dissenting voices, but I held my nerve and restated the question. Suddenly the glass twitched and moved, then it very elegantly swept around the table before coming to rest on 'Y' for Yes. The sniggers stopped and a deathly hush fell on the proceedings.

I then asked the spirit to name the card that I had forced. The glass began to move, and it swept around and around the table. It was actually quite a beautiful sight - very serene and silent. The glass kept bumping into letters, and was making no sense at all. I got the volunteers to remove their fingers, take a breather, and try again.

Again after what seemed an age, the glass started to move again. This time it moved eratically around the board, touching letters but making no sense, then the glass moved to the middle of the board and stopped. The volunteers removed their fingers, visibly moved by what had happened.

So the "spirit" never got to name the card, but the sight of the glass moving around the board was a strangely beautiful one that I shall remember forever. And also I'm over the moon that the glass actually moved as the evening would have ended on rather a downer if it hadn't!

So all in all a very succesful night, and I'm looking forward to continuing the ouija board experiments with another crowd sometime soon. As for tomorrow - it's 3 kids shows. While I'm doing the zombie ball for groups of sugar high 4 year olds, my mind will still I'm sure be wandering back to tonight!

Thanks for that Paul, pleased to hear you had a great time and I'm sure the specs will remember this evening for a long time as well!

Congratulations Paul!

Glad it worked out for you and that you had a nice time.
It sounds like everybody got "their money's worth" or so to speak

Cheers!
