On display in Terminal 2 is the history of the design and use of ouija boards, or talking boards, from the 1800s to the present. This particular talking board, the Magi-Board, from the 1940s, features a planchette consisting of a wooden cross with a large pointer at its center. Users had to balance the device on their fingertips. All objects are courtesy of Gene Orlando, Museum of Talking Boards, and Robert Murch, The Talking Board Historical Society.
