Toys and Games Reviews of Magic 8 Ball
Customer Review: Magic 8 ball
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: Magic 8-ball
Summary: 3 Stars
The new magic 8-ball has come a long way down from the original. The current version has a very dark window, so the 8-ball answers are barely legible. And the liquid inside appears to be more viscous, so the answers rise slowly, and 50% of the time, the answer polyhedron rests on an edge, so there is no answer at all.
Compared to a friend's older 8-ball (30 years old), which is very fast to respond, and easy to read, this new 8-ball is clearly a few steps in the wrong direction.
Customer Review: Fun, but not well made
Summary: 4 Stars
I never had a Magic 8 ball as a kid, and always wanted one for myself. I bought this one to put on my desk at home and use it frequently for fun over the past year. However, not long after I purchased it, the answer piece stopped floating to the top completely, so it is hard to read and the middle of some letters fell of so itis hard to read some of the woords. I was hoping for a product that was a little more well made, but it is still the fun Magic 8 ball that my cousin had.Customer Review: Magic 8 Ball

We used this for a Christmas gift exchange game among adults, and it was a big hit - except the triangle with the answers wouldn't always float to the top. Other than that, we had a good time asking it questions, and it was kind of right each time. Really fun, and the woman who ended up with it for her gift at the end of the night was thrilled to have it, due to her nostalgia about it, and she also was eager to show her young kids how to play with it at home.Customer Review: Magic 8 Ball

I bought the Magic 8 Ball for my 10-year-old brother-in-law. I wasn't totally sure if he would like it or not, but he has been having fun with it. He and his friends take turns asking it questions and think of different ways to re-word their questions when they don't get a yes or no response. I was impressed that they were putting a lot of thought into their questions even though they know not to rely too heavily on the answers. I recommend this toy.
