    It arrived when it was supposed to, it was left at the bottom of my door, but I was not told by email that it had arrived. The eight ball itself does what it is supposed to but it is very hard to read without a flashlight.

    Reviewed in Canada on May 30, 2024

    Ordered this for my son for Christmas for his stocking as he has always wanted one. Why not it will be fun. He was super excited to get it. It does not work great. Many times you shake it and see no answer at all or it is hard to read. We did get a good laugh out of it when Grandma thought you had to speak directly into it and she though it could here you lol. Its ok as a silly gift but just be prepared it is not the best quality and will most likley be used that day and then make its way under the bed with all the other money wasting toys.

    I've always wanted one of these Magic 8-Balls since I was wee kid. But its even better because I bought it at the young old age of 30 haha. I literally let it decide the most important decisions in my life (hasn't steered me wrong). I've literally met some of the coolest people because of the Magic 8-Ball.

    ?Esta bola es un objeto m¨¢gico que contesta todas tus preguntas! ?Puede haber algo mejor?

    Mucho m¨¢s econ¨®mico que llamar a un 902 para que te echen las cartas del Tarot, o que la bruja Lola te lea la mano.

    El ¨ªndice de acierto es parecido al de una bola de cristal, pero al menos las respuestas son m¨¢s claras... siempre que sepas ingl¨¦s, claro.

    Ofrece buenos ratos de diversi¨®n. Es un juguete creado hace ya 60 a?os y todav¨ªa se vende con ¨¦xito.

    Algunas de las respuestas son:
    ' It is decidedly so ' Without a doubt ' Yes ' definitely ' You may rely on it ' As I see it, yes d ' Signs point to yes ' Yes ' Reply hazy, try again ' Better not tell you now ' Cannot predict now ' Concentrate and ask gain ' Don't count on it ' My sources say no ' Outlook not so good l... y algunas m¨¢s.

    Cela fait un bon moment que j'ai offert cette magic ball 8 ¨¤ ma fille, et elle fonctionne parfaitement. Pour ¨¦viter le fameux ¨¦cran blanc ou ray¨¦, il suffit de la tenir correctement. En effet, il semble que le message flotte dans un liquide ¨¤ l'int¨¦rieur de la boule. De ce fait, si on la tient pench¨¦, le message flotte de travers et il devient difficile ¨¤ entrevoir. C'est juste m¨¦canique. Une fois ceci bien assimil¨¦, le jeu est tr¨¨s sympa et anime les soir¨¦es m¨ºme pour les adultes. Je conseille vivement.
