But where did this fortune-telling favorite of the toy chest come from? And does it really work? Concentrate and ask again.

      Well, there is a white multi-faced polygon in the magic 8 ball with raised letters on each face in a plastic container filled with liquid. When you shake the ball, it will cause the polygon to move its faces. The raised letters will press against a clear plastic cover and your fortune will be predicted.

    At first I was annoyed that the initial conclusion is that the 8ball was designed after a crystal ball, but now that I think of it, an 8ball really could be used as a scrying tool, especially if it's shiny. But it sucks that people take spiritualism and try to make it into something it's not in order to make some easy money.
