365:2:297 .. Magic 8-Ball
We had an interesting tweet-based discussion about Magic 8-Balls yesterday, and how they work. Despite Mattel's explanation that they just house "a cylindrical reservoir containing a white, plastic, icosahedral die floating in alcohol with dissolved dark blue dye", the common consensus that we came to was that they probably are still magic - and more likely than not contain agrophobic faeries, who answer all of the questions. :)
(In fact I asked my Magic 8-Ball if this were true and it replied: "Yes, Definitely". So there you go.)
Lighting: 580EXII on light stand to camera right, pointing at 8-Ball. Triggered by ST-E2.
