The Occult 8 ball ring is a unique and mysterious piece of jewelry that has gained popularity among those intrigued by the occult and divination. The ring features a miniature version of the 8 ball commonly used in pool games, but with a twist. Instead of the traditional pool phrases found on the 8 ball, this ring is adorned with various esoteric symbols and images. The main idea of the Occult 8 ball ring is to provide a mystical and symbolic representation of divination and fortune-telling. While traditional 8 balls are used for simple yes or no questions, this ring takes it a step further by incorporating occult imagery. This creates a more immersive experience for those seeking answers from the mystical realm.
It seems that everyone has played with the Magic 8 Ball at one time. An informal survey of former Magic 8 Ball users revealed that many felt a sense of empty disappointment following their consultation with the ball. After all, when people go to the trouble of seeking out an oracle, they want the oracle to be right. Or at least have a clue. As a traumatic sixth-grade experience with the Tarot card reader at the Halloween church carnival taught me, people don't want to have their fortunes told by a sixth-grader out past curfew. And they don't want to pay for the privilege. The clerk at the hip discount store offered little condolence, "They're not really accurate. But it's better than spending your money on the psychic hotline."

From the same folks who brought you The Sarcastic Ball, there s also Madame Zelda s Crystal Ball, which glows in the dark and features a giant, disquieting eye on the top.
This creates a more immersive experience for those seeking answers from the mystical realm. **The occult symbolism on the ring serves as a visual representation of the different aspects of divination.** Each symbol carries its own meaning and creates an intricate tapestry of mysticism.
Eight Ring, Regular, Skinny, Baby, Eight-ball, and Iso-8
The Eight Ring prop was first created and crafted in 2009 by Renegade Juggling. It is meant to be used as an isolation prop and is not intended for toss juggling or normal ring juggling. The original shape was the Regular Eight Ring, and since then we have added several different unique shapes and sizes:
Regular Eight Ring
The Regular Eight Ring was the first model created. It is based on a prototype, made from welding two hollow renegade solo rings together. This eight ring is the heaviest version. It’s easier to use than lighter rings because of its heavier weight, and it has very good inertia making it flow superbly well. However, the weight makes this model harder to practice with for long periods
- length: 29.125 inches, width: 15.375 inches, weight: 340 grams, thickness: 3/16, ring width: 1.5 inches, material: white polypropylene
Skinny Eight Ring
The Skinny Eight Ring was the second model made, and has a thinner width (1.25 inch instead of 1.5 inch). This model was made for the Japanese market, where jugglers hands and arms are generally smaller. This ring is lighter (288 grams vs. the thicker eight ring which is 340 grams), but still has enough weight to have the inertia needed to flow soothly. It is the most popular size.
- length: 29.125 inches, width: 15.375 inches, weight: 288 grams, thickness: 3/16, ring width: 1.25 inches, material: white polypropylene
Baby Eight Ring
The Baby Eight rings was the third version made, and is much smaller in all dimensions. It is intended for small jugglers or children who what to learn eight ring and do not have the strength for the Regular or Skinny eight ring. It is hard to keep a even flow on this ring as the inertia is to little, so opt for a bigger ring if you can manage the weight and size.
- length: 24 inches, width: 12.5 inches, weight: 169 grams, thickness: 1/8, ring width: 1.4 inches, material: white polypropylene
iSo Eight Ring
A combination ring where you can isolate the smaller ring within one side of the eight ring. This ring is typically used as a single manipulation isolation ring and makes for some very interesting illusions! While it could be used as a pair, it would be challenging since the weight of each end is different. Note that if you are ordering it with other props, this type of ring has to be shipped separately.
- length: 29.125 inches, width: 15.375 inches, weight: 370 grams, thickness: 3/16, ring width: 1.5 inches, material: white polypropylene
Eight-ball Eight Ring
The eight ball ring is an experimental version of the eight ring. This oddly sized eight ring is a harder shape to work with than with both halves of the ring the same size, but for advanced 8 ringers it can be very interesting.
- length: 24 inches, width big ring: 15 3/8, width small ring: 10.0 inches, weight: 290 grams, thickness: 3/16, ring width: 1.5 inches, material: white polypropylene

these things are awesome the only problem i had is when they arrived they where warped a bit and if you put them on a non flat surface they will warp to that shape and it takes a bit of time to get them to normal but every one loved them at Oregon country fair.

The one and only. Had to wait 6 weeks or so because they were out of stock, but these are amazing. Lots of practicing to do!

Reviews for "The Occult 8 Ball Ring: Enhancing Psychic Abilities"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Occult 8 ball ring. It looked amazing in the pictures, but in person, it seemed cheaply made. The silver coating started peeling off after just a few wears, and the stone on the ball was not securely attached. I also found the size to be way off, as it was much bigger than I expected. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this ring to anyone looking for a high-quality piece of jewelry.
2. Mike - 1 star - The Occult 8 ball ring was a complete waste of money. The design itself is interesting, but the execution is simply terrible. The ball doesn't roll smoothly, and it often gets stuck halfway. Moreover, the metal started tarnishing after only a couple of weeks, leaving an unpleasant green stain on my finger. The sizing was way off too, as it felt significantly larger than the size I ordered. Don't waste your money on this disappointing product.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Occult 8 ball ring, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The ring itself felt flimsy, and the silver coating started chipping off within a week. The ball didn't roll smoothly, making it difficult to get accurate answers. The stone on the ball also seemed cheaply attached and didn't sparkle as I had hoped. Save your money and look for a more reliable and better-made occult-themed ring.
4. John - 1 star - The Occult 8 ball ring was a complete letdown. The design is interesting, but the execution is extremely poor. The sizing was all wrong, and it felt uncomfortable on my finger. The quality of the metal was also subpar, as it started rusting after just a few weeks. The ball didn't roll smoothly either, making the whole concept of an "8 ball ring" pointless. I regret purchasing this product and would advise others to steer clear of it.
