Retro Magic 8-Ball Gift Idea for Mom

Mattel Games Magic 8 Ball Kids Toy, Retro Themed Novelty Fortune Teller, Ask a Question and Turn Over for Answer

Take mom back to her youth with this fun and funny retro gift idea. It's a Magic 8-Ball!

The Magic 8-Ball was invented in the late 1940s and first sold in 1950. The ball is designed to look like a pool or billiard ball and is filled with blue alcohol and a white plastic die (single dice) with 20 faces.

The fortune-telling ball is used when someone asks it a yes or no question and then flips it over to reveal the die as it floats to the viewing window. With 20 faces on the die, there are 20 possible answers. With this traditional, family friendly Magic8-Ball, ten of the replies are positive, 5 are negative, and 5 are frustratingly non-committal (like "Ask again later.").

This Amazon exclusive Magic 8-Ball is styled after the original, down to the retro packaging. This fun novelty toy is a cute gift idea that can be used right out of the box -- ask the ball: Is this a great present? Signs point to yes.
