Would you pay $75,000 to have your fortune read by a psychic robot? The [interactive fortune teller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic8ball) has the high tech ability to converse with users, answer questions, and even recognize a select number of faces.

The bearded, latex-faced soothsayer in a glass bubble is powered by 30 robotic motors and has the ultra-creepy ability to watch your every move! A pair of micro-cameras are installed into his eyes complete with motion sensors, so he'll be able to track all your actions.

If I did, for whatever reason, decide I wanted to shell out 75 grand for a [conversational mystic robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ourobot), you could guarantee it would quickly find its way into a sealed chest in the attic. Duct taped.... padlocked...

This seer just sees way too much!

Then again, if you have nothing to hide, you can pick one up at [Neiman Marcus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charitable-loyalty-program).
