The Magic 8 Ball has been a fair number of things in the past, where among them include a flash prank that we talked about a couple of years back, a rather rectangular version which sullies the namesake of the device, and one with an internal OLED display thanks to a hack. The avid DIY enthusiast might want to check out this unique Magic 8 Ball that has been specially hacked to deliver up to 60 image responses (of fortune or failure) to the curious person.
The person behind this hacked Magic 8 Ball is a certain Jason Poel Smith, where the 20-sided fortune die inside has been removed only to be replaced by a digital picture keychain instead. Of course, a fair amount of work is involved in changing the Magic 8 Ball into what it is, including sawing the entire ball in half, doing away with the tube that held the said 20-sided die and blue liquid which it floated in. A clear plastic is placed within to shield the digital keychain, while button extenders and a USB port would open up the way to access to the keychain and change the image responses any time you want to do so.
