There are few toys, from generations past, that stand out from the rest. The Magic 8 Ball is one of them. Invented in 1946 by Abe Bookman, the Magic 8 Ball is still one of the most popular toys out there. The simple concept of your future being told just by asking a simple yes-or-no question intrigued people and soon enough Mattel took interest and started manufacturing it. The 20 sided icosahedral die floating in a dark liquid inside the black ball, contains answers such as ‘Ask again later’, ‘Most likely’, ‘Outlook is good’, ‘My reply is no’ and many more. Many variations have surfaced but the massive black ball with the giant white 8 is still the most popular.
