(For more information on the history of the Magic 8-Ball see iFate's main 8-ball page). At one point it looked more like a traditional crystal ball. Since the days of her original design (which looked nothing like the billiards' inspired plastic toy we know and love today) our favorite toy has gone through some major design iterations. The original 8-Ball was created in the 1940's by a clairvoyant named Mary Carter. The custom answers included in this 8-ball are still designed for Yes or No questions, but these are light-hearted answers, crafted for personal relationships and matters of the heart.
