Addressing other reviews: Yes: it is a bit hard to control. But with a little bit of patience -- and carefully throwing so its axis is tipped forward ONLY SLIGHTLY -- this works fine. Yes: it only has a run time of about 10 minutes. Batteries are heavy; this has a little one so it can lift itself. My adult children and I have had a blast with this; in fact, my 25 y/o daughter wants me to buy her a few more as gifts for her friends. So maybe don't buy this for young children.

Meh. I wouldn't buy it again battery dies super quick and it doesn't really fly as much as it crashes into the ground and everything else.

really cool concept but it is malfunctioning straight out of the box. it will power on but will not power off at all.

Magic sphere is way too difficult to control. Even once you mastered hovering with it, it flies out of control and smashes into walls or anything in its way. Not enjoyable.

ZERO stars! This thing does not work after playing with it for a short time. I think my son played with it for two days before the charge would no longer hold and it wouldn't fly right. Also, it stopped lighting up and now just don't charge. Sad because my son loved it at first.

This no longer works after playing with it for 5 minutes

Kids played with it for about 20 minutes and it will no longer work. Bought 2 of them and incredibly disappointed that neither one of them will work now.

Battery issues

I haven't been able to get to work with a fully charged battery and going through the instructions. I'll be returning it.

I'd give this zero stars if I could. It broke day one and quit charging. At least it was only a waste of $10 but still frustrating.
