Answer 4

Believe it or not, they ACTUALLY CAN work! If you believe an ouija board, or other divinatory device can work, this can too...Even though it's marketed as a child's toy (remember the ouija board used to be too), it's a divinatory device just like the others, but it's much more simple & couldn't possibly be more user friendly, unlike a crystal ball, tarot, etc. and ouija can be dangerous. If people can "see" the future out of more "ridiculous" methods such as tea leaves, coffee grounds, dice rolls and playing cards, why not this? It's not the device itself, it's about the message that comes through from using that tool, and I'm not one to be prejudiced of where it comes from *lol*. All these things do is trigger your subconscious and it's latent intuition. IOW, you're just bringing out the insight that's already in you (but is otherwise inaccessible from too much doubt or inhibition). That's the "magic" in these things.

If you have an open mind and pray for guidance beforehand, it can work. If you don't start out that way, there's no telling how reliable your answers will be. Sometimes I feel like I might only be receiving answers I want to hear, so from that point on I made it a rule to always start with the question "Will I receive reliable answers here now?" If you get a positive response, it's generally ok to proceed. If you get a "no", "maybe" or "reply hazy", then it's not a good day to ask. Try again later. If at any time you start feeling "off" or that your answers are starting to get funny or unclear, always go back to that question "Am I receiving reliable answers here now?". Again, if positive, keep asking. If not, put it down. I once asked if I was going to win the lottery and it said yes. I then asked if it was going to be the jackpot and it said no. I checked my tickets and walked away with 50 bux *lol*.

Also, I don't know if this a coincidence, but for some reason I find it better to end with "do you know how grateful I am for your insight?" and virtually every time I got a yes *lol*. I figured since communication can only be made in the form of "yes/no" questions, it's a way to say thank you *lol*. You can try an online oracle if you don't have a magic 8 ball. http://www.the-oracle-answers.com is my favorite. I don't necessarily agree per se that "it" gets mad when you ask the same questions over and over. Sometimes when you get a "no" on what you are sure is to be "yes", I find the best out of 3 method works. Anything more than that, then possibly yeah *lol*. I mean, wouldn't YOU get mad? *lol*

One thing to remember though is that it might "turn" on you when you develop a dependency on it. Be sure not to do that. I save it for strictly the "need-to-know's" and other burning questions. Like that old saying, the best possible way to predict the future is to create it! Have fun (^_^)

Answer 5

Yes they do. I tried them and every question I asked it told me the right answer. So I say yes but you have to believe in them.

Answer 6

never worked for me

Answer 7

OMG!!!!!! My math teacher had one, and it answered about 90% of my questions right. I asked it if I was going to get the game DiRT for my PC, and what do you know? there was my game in the pile of presents. Here is a creepy one: I asked it if I would meet some pretty girls on my vacation, and while I was in the elevator at my hotel, these two hot girls walked in. I was truly amazed. GO MAGIC 8 BALL!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!
