I'd be willing to bet that you could get one at Spencer Gifts at the mall

Does anyone know what a "magic eight ball' would be called in Panamá, or even just in spanish? That might help with the search.

I can't help you find a Magic 8 Ball in Panama, but to save you a bit of self-referential disappointment later, I feel I should point out that if you had one, it wouldn't actually be able to tell you where to find one.

Well, unless you went on an endless round of "do they have one at the gift shop in the Sheraton Panama Hotel Convention Center at Via Israel and 77th Street? Signs point to no. What the hell does that mean? Okay, do they have one at Playtime Toys at Bal Harbour mall just off Balboa after Arrocha at the Popeye's?"

You see, it would just drive you mad. Good hunting though. :-)

You might have better luck finding the latest version of "mind reader" toy, 20 Questions.

I might be writing this too late for you to get one tonight, but my field agents tell me that Farmacias Arrocha and Felix B. Maduro stores are good bets...
