It isn’t a Magic Eight Ball, it’s The Mystic Orb with Future Predicting Prowess, and I am bringing it back! I was torn with this decision while standing in Wal-Mart last week, buy the Magic Eight Ball for $20 or The Mystic Orb with Future Predicting Prowess for $5? I ended up with the Mystic Orb, and let me tell you why…I am a cheap as bastard. Ok, that is part of the reason, but the main reason is I feel like if this Magic Eight Ball was really magic it would retail for more than $20. Instead The Mystic Orb makes such lower level promises I can buy into it’s value as a product to help me make better choices in life. First, it’s only mystical and not magical. Mystical I can believe, magic just seems like smoke and mirrors (see Angel the mind freak and other ‘street people’). Second the product isn’t so self absorbed that it actually believes it can predict the future, but rather give me a inkling of hope that it will leverage it’s mysticism in such a way that it will narrow down all the possible outcome into one scenario that is most likely. And if it doesn’t know, it will tell me…so The Orb is honest and I can get behind that. Three, the Orb isn’t pretending to be something it’s not. They don’t call it the Mystical Kickball, or softball, it stays true to itself and just says ‘hey I’m just an Orb that is here to help you out’. It’s “magical” brethren tries to fancy up as if taking advice from a fake billiard accessory has some advantage. So for me, it’s the Mystical Orb with Future Predicting Prowess.
