Simply ask the ball a yes-or-no question, turn it over and wait for your answer to appear in the window. You might get a confident “It is certain”, a less promising “Don’t count on it”, or the wonderfully unhelpful “Ask again later”. Either way, half the fun is seeing what fate has to say.
It is brilliant for parties, family get-togethers, desk-side decision making and those moments when no one in the room wants to be responsible for choosing what happens next. Kids, teens and adults can all get in on the fun, making it an easy novelty gift for birthdays, Christmas and Secret Santa.
Compact, instantly recognisable and easy to use, the Magic 8 Ball is a ripper little conversation starter for home, holidays or the office.
