Water is exceptionally easy to find in most places. Assuming only luck is involved (no experience-based intuition or observation) water will be found the vast majority of the time. Where I live, dry wells are extremely rare. So for water, dowsing seems to work because it's a high-probability event.
What I don't understand is this: Let's say I'm going to buy a unit, and ask for demo. I'm holding the rods. How is the seller gonna make the rods respond to something, since I'm holding them?
The seller can't make the rods move. But you can. If the seller gives you enough suggestions and cues (try this, try that, hold it this way, ...) you will eventually get a self-induced response. Once you get a first response, more responses come easily, and you are quickly convinced that something real is happening.
