The Magic Eight Ball

Believe it or not, the Magic Eight Ball was one of the craziest inventions ever made. Who would have thought that like a fortune teller, someone would make something that could read your mind or predict the future?

Albert Carter and Abe Bookman were the two inventors that came up with the idea of this inspirational wonder. Made in the 1950's, this filed the fortune telling crave along with other inventions such as the fortune cookie and the diner fortune telling machines. 

     The Magic Eight Ball uses an alcoholic substance mixed with a dyed filled tube. There is always a twenty sided die inside with different answers on each side. I say this because like a little kid, I've always wondered what was inside a magic eight ball. So now that you know, don't go smashing any open to see what's inside. Shake wisely!
