It changed my life!!!

Before I bought this my life was confusing and uncertain. Now I find decision making easy and stress free. Plus I know exactly what’s going to happen before it does. It really is a life changer! It’s so much easier to use than tarot cards and doesn’t come with all the angry spirits like the Ouija board. I’d recommend it for anyone who needs help with life’s bigger decisions. Oh and also, it’s a toy from like the 1970s so why are you even reading a review to make your decision. Good lord I guess you do need it’s help.

Old Favorite!

We got this to put out on the counter at our office as well as to take to a trade show as a conversation piece. Always an old favorite, and some of the questions that got asked at the trade show. Bordering on TMI...

Just as you remember it

This Magic 8 Ball came sensibly packaged in a bubble wrap bag. The actual Magic 8 Ball box is attractive (please see pictures) and reminiscent of side show/Ripley's Believe it or Not style art. The Magic 8 Ball works just as you remember, and has the same feel. If you have never used one, this is how it goes: 1) Face the "8" toward you, and ask a question out loud. 2) Gently agitate the ball, then turn it over so that the viewing window is facing up, pointed at the ceiling. 3) Read one of the 20 possible answers to your question. The fast delivery, and damage free product makes this a safe bet if you want to take a stroll down memory lane with the fun conversation starter you once had, or if you want one for the first time. Also, the handsome packaging makes this a good gift or collectible.

Just like the Magic 8 ball from my youth

Just like the Magic 8 ball from my youth! What a great flashback! I got a great version in english that although it is slightly hard to read, that's exactly how they were when I was a kid. I really don't mind because it adds to the allure of the toy and slows you down a bit so you aren't just tipping it back and forth over and over. My husband enjoys it as well and never had one as a kid. For the low price, I wouldn't hesitate buying this toy as a gift or for yourself. Great job Matel!

Helps make life altering decisions easy!

Very accurate... Just like I remembered the 70's

this really was quite difficult to break

Let's be clear: the plastic of which this thing is made resists damage very obstinately. It took a long time (fully two minutes? I was going cautiously) for me and my claw hammer to even breach the outer shell of this juggernaut, and even then it ended up taking twenty minutes more to actually get inside it, look the contents over, and figure out how to get the little plastic icosahedron (20-sided die, basically), the little treasure with all the fortunes on it, out of the separate container of blue fluid. Needless to say, everyone in the dorm who witnessed my steady progress was impressed beyond measure. In any case I am now the controller of my own fortune, if not also the entirety space-time itself (who's to say?). One warning, however: the blue fluid inside the inner sanctum does not seem to stain bathtubs or sinks or any kind of porcelain, but it will absolutely stain skin. Not for long, but it doesn't all scrub off. Long story short, if you're worried about casual drops, don't be. This thing will get scuffed as hell, but it will protect its precious cargo. And don't worry about karmic backlash, either--my particular 8 Ball, at least, which was purchased for this purpose, actively encouraged and guided me ("Should I hit it right on the 8 here?" - "YES, DEFINITELY") as I violently forced open a passage to the destiny-nugget at its core.

My 8 Ball was perfect. My friend ordered one and received it yesterday ...

My 8 Ball was perfect. My friend ordered one and received it yesterday and it was in Turkish!! Every word on the box is English. We are in the heart of Alabama folks the thing should have come with Rosetta Stone. Truth.

A Gem from my time!

Let me start by stating how Professional the packaging of this Magic 8 ball was, I mean there is no way even in a hurricane this 8 ball could have broken seriously! Now the product itself is a gem from my time i remember having one of these while i was younger and through time they have improved in every aspect of their customer service greatly. My Magic 8 ball is actually larger than i anticipated haha which made me even happier than i already was when i received it. In my opinion this is one of the most fun and non-expensive toys you could get a child to entertain them for a while with great wisdom from the all powerful 8 ball! Lastly i want to point out that this toy is built really tough and the panel which you receive your answer through is crystal clear contrary to other reviews.

It's Magic

This 8 ball dictates all of my investment decisions. Much better results than when I was guessing.
