I understand that a medium recieves messages (sees, hears or senses them).. but how does the spirit person actually manage to communicate them? And how come some can and some can't?

It depends on the type of the spirit, the spiritual level of the spirit and the level of the possesion of the medium by the spirit (ghost)
You can find a lot of information about it on these links:

There are many people who have lost loved ones and who would desperately like to be able to talk with them again or receive messages from them. This desire is understandable, but contacting the dead is not permitted by God according to the Bible. The attempt is a sin against God and results in either deception or involvement with demonic entities impersonating the dead.
I urge you, as strongly as I know how, not to dabble or get involved in anything to do with occult practices, including this one. At best, they are deceptive and fraudulent; at worst, they can involve you in matters which are satanic in origin.
"The Bible is very clear that such things are false and will only lead you away from God and His truth. In the Old Testament God commanded, 'Let no one be found among you ... who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord' (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).
"The Bible urges us to turn in faith to Christ and to seek the truth He has given us in the Bible. God's Word alone gives us spiritual truth; any other path will lead us astray. Occult practices will never tell us with finality what is beyond the grave, but because of His resurrection we can know from Christ everything we need to know."
It is critically important for anyone who has been involved in this or any other occult practice to confess it to God as a sin, renounce the practice, and turn to Jesus Christ for His forgiveness, cleansing and protection. Consultation with a Gospel-preaching pastor may be wise. A book such as "The Bondage Breaker" by Neil Anderson has been helpful to many. It would be available through a Christian bookstore.

I am not touching that with a ten foot pole, there are a lot of people out there that will stoop to anything for money. But then again I can't say that all of them are that way. Believe it or not they can, but not all that claim it are honest. My mom told me 5 months after she was dead that my dad had cancer, now without her intervention he would have died, but because of it, I took him to the doctor, he had a fast growing throat cancer, without her he would have died, because he had no symptoms. But because of her and my faith, he survived.

They contact mediums mainly through love and thought.

It is just a show and entertainment, like magicians, mind readers, fortune tellers, etc. Also, ones who associate with the above open the way for demons to enter their lives MAYBE.

They are just licking their chops waiting for you to come by. They are all fakes and if put to the test, all would fail.
