Definition: The crystal ball has long been a favorite device of fortune tellers for the purpose of scrying, or telling the future. Such acts used to be common in carnivals and circuses, but they have become less popular over time. Psychics today prefer to use cards or other devices.
The use of crystal balls has particluar rules which must be followed. It cannot be too big or too small - the size of a large orange is usually good. Only the owner, ostensibly a psychic, is allowed to handle it - if anyone else tries to handle it then supposedly the "magnetisms" will be mixed and the sensitivity of the ball reduced. In such an event, the ball must be "re-magnetized" by the owner who is supposed to pass their right hand over it for about five minutes.
