“Syco-Slate: The Pocket Fortune-Teller” was the second version of the toy invented by Alfred Carter and Abe Bookman in the mid-1940s, produced and sold by their collaborative toy company, Alabe Crafts. It is the precursor to the Magic 8-Ball, and works in the same manner. I just asked it our collective fortune, giving it a shake, flipping it over, and squinting through the dark purple liquid at the results. It said “You’re Screwed.” #fortuneteller #fortunetelling #sycoslate #magic8ball #alabecrafts #seer #divination #fortune #fate #psychic #occult https://www.instagram.com/p/B91hgX1FuDc/?igshid=yked8z2lfquc

A Syco-Slate ad from the pages of the infamous DeLaurence occult catalog. The predecessor to the Magic 8-Ball, the Syco-Slate works the same way, with a randomized hollow die containing messages suspended in a dark purple liquid. Just give it a question and a good shake, flip it over, and wait for an answer to appear! #scrying #clairvoyance #crystalball #divination #psychic #orbuculum #crystallomancy #spheromancy #occult #paranormal #augury #foretunetelling #pastpresentfuture #fortuneteller #sycoslate #psychic https://www.instagram.com/p/By7kvt-F8bG/?igshid=1mnjr43ogsinh
