*by K***N on May 11, 2024*

This Magic 8 Ball has been a lifesaver! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is asked impossible questions that are improbable to predict completion dates at work due to the “human factor”. I bought this specifically to assist a coworker with hard/absurd decisions at work, especially when asked to predict finalizations on certain job completion dates. I believe it has relieve a little or actually most of their tension and stress. I found that for this Magic 8 Ball to work to its best potential you must 1.repeat the asked question 2. Shake vigorously and mutter fervent pleas for the best outcomes. In actuality😜 This Magic 8 Ball has lightened tense and frustrating moments at work and made it almost bearable…. We have had TONS of fun with this and many good laughs, and that was only the first day of working with our Magic 8 Ball, it seems spot on with answers to life’s tough questions.
