I thought this was so nostalgic and great as a birthday gift for a 6 year old who had a magic themed party. We add a little cash in a cute envelope and it was perfect!

Didn’t work very well. You had to hold it a certain way for the “answers” to appear and also it was hard to read. Save your money.

So this thing is fun all that stuff BUT I do know that this can’t actually predict the future or something it is just something you shake and it gives you a answer but my child asked questions that she knew and some answers were wrong she said is my favorite color purple? And it said no and purple is her favorite color so just to tell you that this doesn’t actually predict the future or the question you’re asking I mean I kinda recommend it but ask a question you know and see if it lies
Like the Slinky, this toy will never fully go away

Is it fun? Reply hazy, ask again Is it classic? It is certain. Does it belong in every kid's toy collection, to gather dust and eventually get tossed into the Goodwill bag? Yes, definitely

Got this for a white elephant exchange but it’s really hard to read the answers. It’s fun to see people ask questions but then they have to move it around to see what the answers says. For a fun gift it’s ok.
