Unlock a world of wonder and inspiration with The Museum of Modern Art’s exclusive collaboration with the Classic Magic 8 Ball, now featuring the visionary art of Alma Woodsey Thomas, whose work is represented in MoMA’s collection. A celebrated teacher turned artist later in life, Thomas is renowned for her vibrant abstracts, which are often inspired by nature and the cosmos, featuring kaleidoscopic patterns that radiate energy and movement. This special edition reimagines the Magic 8 Ball’s iconic yes/no/maybe answers with nine custom phrases inspired by Thomas, such as “Color is Life!” and “Pave a New Path.” Just as her work celebrated beauty, movement, and possibility, these responses invite you to embrace creativity and find inspiration in every decision. A beloved novelty meets modern art in a collaboration as dynamic and joyful as Thomas’ work. Let the magic guide you—vibrantly yes! The Magic 8 Ball is made of plastic and measures 12" circumference.
