Toys and Games Reviews of Magic 8 Ball
Customer Review: Funny Toy!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
My cousins and I had a blast asking the ball questions and shaking it to find out the 'answers'. It's very creative, and surprisingly, it can keep you occupied for hours at a time. It's classic, but kids still love it today. Parents, you'll be amazed what kinds of things this toy can spark in your child's mind. Not my favorite toy, but worth having around for those rainy days when you just HAVE to know whether Mom's making lasanga again or when you are DESPERATE to find out whether Tim will ask you to the school dance. Buy it!
Customer Review: Decisions Made Easy!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a Magic 8 Ball and a Staples "easy" button on my desk. I tell visitors that I make all of my decisions using both the 8 ball & easy button. A great ice breaker, but unfortunately, my 8 ball is wearing out. I got it as a promotional gift, so I suspect it's not a genuine Mattel. Time to order another!
Update: After less than a year, my 8 ball has ceased to work. The messages weren't the clearest to begin with, but now you can't read them at all.
My advice? Go to Toy's R Us & buy one that works.
Customer Review: Has anyone ever heard of a talking Magic 8 Ball?
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave 4 Magic 8 Balls as Christmas presents this year. The one I gave to my mother looks just like the others but when you shake it, it talks. A man's voice says several different things, always demanding to be let out. He also said we should unscrew the ball which we did and found a plastic brain with flashing lights on one side, the other side enclosed the answer cube and the liquid. We found it very spooky. I have written Mattel but have not yet gotten a response. It is impossible to get through by phone.Customer Review: Times have changed.

This was a great toy when I was little many years ago. I was so excited to pass this enjoyment on to my son, but the ball doesn't do much - of course it never did. In this age of super fast, overstimulating games it seemed so dull. It was also very hard to read the triangle cube - it never fully flattened against the window and the dark liquid blocked it out. The ball is what it is and my son does still play with it, but it is not in the top ten. I should have learned when last Christmas's Magic Rocks bombed.Customer Review: LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS CHEAPLY MADE!

Don't get me wrong, I love my Magic 8 Ball and the problems with it were not enough to make me send it back but it is a pain to get the answer to show up sometime! I'm not that old and I remember the original magic 8 ball being pretty easy to use not having to try and rock the ball back and forth to get your answer to appear. If you're okay with a little work that's fine but if you want a well made magic 8 ball I'd recommend buying one made by a different company that actually puts out well made products.
