Ideomotor effect. Basically, the body moves according to the intent of the user(s). To get a spirit board working you (or at least one of the users) has to expect the pointer to move.
Once you and some friends get the pointer moving you'll notice that it quickly spells easily recognizable words and misspells any words that you would misspell.
For more fun, have someone change the orientation of the board while the users are blindfolded and then record what they spell.

This is only a point of view, you can listen, you don't have to. I personally wouldn't recommend using a Ouija board, even "just for a laugh".They can be dangerous. The Ouija boards usually only contain demons, adverse spirits, and poltergiests,which as we all know are very bad. Incorrect use of a Ouija board, can result in very frightening experiences and occasionally,possession. People move houses after "playing" with a Ouija board.It is also rare to contact good spirits,loved ones, and angels..Play it at your own risk. All my luck if you choose to use it.
I made some words bold to show you Im not joking
you can buy it at target, who ever wrote this answer is not specific enough, you don't have to buy a ouija board, you can make one. I made one before but be careful you sometimes regret it. One time i was talking to the ouija board and i said " who am i speaking with?". The glass i used for the board went to S,A,T,A, and N. I was terrified. My dad said if you use a ouija board you can bring evil demons or ghosts to your home. So i wouldn't recommend for anyone to buy or make an ouija board.

the board doesn't, the spirit that your talking to does if you make it angry.
