The Magic 8-Ball is a toy used for fortune-telling or seeking advice. It resembles a black billiard ball with the number eight on it and contains a liquid-filled chamber. Inside, there is a 20-sided die with various responses printed on its faces, such as "Yes," "No," and "Ask again later." To use the Magic 8-Ball, a person asks a yes-or-no question and then shakes the ball. Afterward, they look through a transparent window on the bottom to see the answer that has floated to the top. It is often used for fun and entertainment rather than serious decision-making.
