Summary: 5 Stars
I found the Magic 8 ball to be the perfect vacation home housewarming gift for the family which has everything, especially one where large groups of disparate ages spend time together. It doesn't take up much room, if they give it away later it wasn't very expensive, and it's even a fun drinking game. "Let's ask the Magic 8 ball what they think about spaghetti for dinner!" amuses even the most jaded of 7 year olds, and might even amuse or at least strike a nostalgic note for their 50-year old parents.Customer Review: Lots of fun, but only if you can read it.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great toy except for one thing, the messages are terribly hard to read. Not sure why exactly, maybe the fluid is too viscous, or too dark or the dice inside isn't perfectly flat on all sides. Whatever the reason, it's extremely hard to read the answers to your questions. But if you can read it, its pretty accurate, kinda spooky.Customer Review: Lots of fun, but the answer triangle doesn't always float up to the top
Summary: 3 Stars
What a blast from the past this has been. My 5 year old saw it in a toystore, and I ordered it from Amazon for Christmas. He is enjoying it. It is fun, sort of educational (he tries to decode the message - he is learning to read), appears to be durable and is still intact after being dropped several times.
The only negative is that quite often, the triangle or trapezoid or whatever the answer unit inside the ball is, it doesn't float up to the top to be easily readable. Instead, it sort of hovers on the edge, in between answers, but not showing clearly one side or another. Maybe it isn't sure of the answer! Maybe I should ask again!
My son doesn't seem to mind, though.
This is a great gift for someone - an executive to keep on their desk for a bit of levity when stressed over a difficult decision or for a party prize that can be used and enjoyed at the party.
