I have had one of these since I was a kid which was over 40 years ago. Every time one has broken or stopped working, I’ve always gotten another. My kids would laugh or roll their eyes when I’d consult with the Magic 8 Ball to answer their questions. The thing has given many years of laughs. I’m sad to be buying a new one but grateful they are still being made. My life would have a huge void without the Magic 8 Ball.

Ordered this for my daughter for Christmas it came with something else for her as well. The item came beat up and the box damaged. Being as it is a gift I would expect it to look nice and new.

Fun for the whole family.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Classic childhood toy. Ask it a yes or no question and say a little prayer the answer you want shows when you turn it over. Tap at it to get the air bubbles down a bit. Not for too young, they tend to drop or throw it and it can crack or leak.

Magic 8 ball fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rating this product based on our office having one as it was misdelivered and never received at my home. This is a fun, whimsical item that is best used for yes/no type of questions. The inky liquid around the answers provides an air of mystery to the toy providing "answers" to your most burning questions. Quality construction, I have found they last for years with gentle use. Not a toy to play catch with as it can break when dropped.

Very nostalgic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 8 ball is something I loved as a kid, and being able to play this again as an adult brings back so many memories. Now my four kiddos get to enjoy it as I did. It’s made well and getting answers from it is so much fun. It totally keeps the kids engaged and hearing them giggle while playing with it makes me so happy.

Classic must have toy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic 8 balls never disappoint! My kids love playing with their Magic 8 ball. It was very easy to open and take out of the packaging. My kids will ask and shake it to find out the answer to their questions. A must have classic toy!
