Magic 8 ball
Every house in America has a Magic 8 Ball - or so we're led to believe, based on its constant appearances in TV comedy and drama. This proliferation must mean that it truly is magic. It cannot be just a plastic polyhedron, emblazoned with all-encompassing answers, which rights itself in a pool of liquid trapped in a black bubble. There's summink strange in them there plastic parts...

Magic 8 ball
All you do is ask the Magic 8 Ball a question, shake it a bit and then look to the porthole in its base for a timely and reasonable answer. Of course, the question has to be a tentative prediction of potential future happenings. 'Will that bloke in the cubicle opposite ever get rid of those IRRITATING monitor gonks?' and 'can it be true that despite my promising never, ever to watch that shower again, I will get a season ticket again next year?' are good examples of posers to set your 8 Ball. Ask it who won the Best Actor Oscar in 1972*, or the place and time of Sue Barker's only Grand Slam tennis title**, and you're in for a long wait.

Magic 8 ball

Shake it and see!

Leave one of these on your desk and people are virtually guaranteed to come and shake it. It also doubles as a paperweight. And, it looks like a giant 8 ball from pool - which is cool because, well, it just is. So as well as mapping out your life and making vital decisions for you, the Magic 8 Ball is an oversized novelty sporting whatnot. How much more do you want for your money?

* Marlon Brando for The Godfather
** Roland Garros (the French Open), 1976

Daniel Culshaw, Standish - 27th June 2009
visitor avatar I got one of these a while ago, and I absolutely love it! The 8 on the front is just awesome. I know, a bit obscure, but still, it's awesome. The answers inside glow eerily (if that's how you spell it) and it still makes me wonder how it picks them. A Must Have!
Phil, North Yorkshire - 27th April 2008
visitor avatar A serious must-have for anyone who has worked in tech support. Simply shake for your next answer...'Outlook Not So Good' *grin*.
Helen Waight, Swindon - 18th March 2008

Monique, Rushden - 28th May 2006
visitor avatar Ordered 12noon Friday, Arrived 9am Saturday! Talk about service. Always wanted one since its various escapades on American TV. And it does not disappoint. All my friends love it too. :-).
Lauren Jade Spring, Derby - 4th March 2006
visitor avatar Wow, this is so cool! Glad I could play before I had to wrap it! For a newly single friend to help her decide who's right and who's not! I'll let you know if you need to get a hat!
Robyn Moore, Taunton - 8th November 2005
visitor avatar Yay! These things are great. I need a new one though, I stupidly left my old one on a windowsill in strong sunlight, and all its mystical blue juices leaked away....
Claire, Preston - 1st November 2004
visitor avatar I like this Mystic 8 Ball. In fact, I like this 8 ball so much, that I asked it if I should get another one. It said "ABSOLUTELY"!
Hitesh, london - 25th July 2003
visitor avatar Worthy of the £5 pound it will give you hours of entertainment you question later, giving you an answer, one out of many it is a novelty item, it makes a good gift.
