 Lots of fun, but the answer triangle doesn't always float up to the top January 5, 2009
Malena (San Anselmo, CA)
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 ot 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.
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.
 Decisions Made Easy! December 24, 2008
Marvin E. Nelson (Anaheim, California USA)
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!
Magic 8 Ball adies in decision making June 22, 2008

Even needed a little help making that critical decision? The Magic 8 Ball once again proves the test of time as a crucial management support tool! Seriously - the toy provides a little humor in an often time too stressful work place. And - if you don't like the answer you can always ask again and again until you get the answer that works for you!
 Super fun but... March 8, 2008
Carlos Rodriguez (Venezuela)
I love my Magic 8 Ball! It's so cool to play with it and my friends love it.
The only con I've found are the small bubbles inside and sometimes the answer cube doesn't give any answer. It gets stuck on its edges sometimes and not on the plain side to give an answer.
In general it's a great buy. Thanks Amazon!
Age that enjoys the 8 Ball January 20, 2008
A. Evans (Provo, Utah)
It is fun for children to think of a question and then laugh at the answer that comes up. Adults like it too. Put questions on a piece of paper and put them in a draw. The "genie" with the towel around her head and too much jewelry on, rubs the eight ball and gives them their answer. It makes for a lot of laughter.
