A crystal ball is a round, clear, and shiny ball that people use to try to see what might happen in the future. It's like a magic ball that some people think has special powers to help them see things that they can't see with their regular eyes.
Imagine you're holding a big, shiny marble in your hand. Now imagine that it's so clear and sparkly that you can see your reflection in it. That's what a crystal ball looks like! People who believe in crystal balls might hold it up to the light, or roll it around in their hands, hoping to see pictures or visions of things that could happen in the future.
It's important to remember that crystal balls are not real magic. They can't actually show you what's going to happen in the future. It's just something that people use as a way to help them think about what they want or need, or to tap into their creativity and imagination. Some people might find that holding or looking at a crystal ball helps them feel more calm, focused or inspired.
