This is really "scrying". You can do it with a bowl of water. At best,it is a form of meditation; at worst it is make-believe.
My old, and very wise, witch teacher, would go into fits of laughter at the idea of a crystal ball!
But, on the other hand, remember that you may believe anything you wish.

You could get a scrying stone. It doesn't see the future but rather in different areas or rooms. It is kind of like a spying stone.

Crystal ball gazing is like any other form of 'divination'. It can bring results but ONLY if all the requirements are 'met'. The setting must be like any other magic work, clean and free of intrusion. The ball obviously works better if it is quartz crystal as it is a power stone. One must go into this as with all magic and NOT skeptical as part of the power of this resides in yourself. Meditate and then see into the ball and then 'wait' , what will come will come....

is there a skill lvl required to start doing this because I am a beginner,

I think if you can meditiate, then your pretty much ready.

Meditation, and correct breathing techniques, are the real secret of everything that follows.They are the "start" of the magic!

All forms of scrying are tools to tap into what you're subconscious/higher self already knows. It is a wide believed theory that we have all the knowledge that we will ever need or want within us. Scrying is one of many ways to discover it. There is a second way to scry which is when you ask of a certain being to answer a question. This is a form of spiritual communication, but it can also be done through identical methods.

I personally loath crystal balls. I prefer to scry fire, water, and coffee. Don't laugh! Black coffee is an herb of the mind and it is an excellent catalyst! I drop a quartz in the bowl that has been charged to amplify the energy of the herb. I started using coffee because I like the blackened surface without the use of messy ink.

Good advice from WhiteRaven! My witch teacher used to tell me that we have what she called "inherited memory". The genes (DNA) that are in us now are the result of millions of years of evolution. Everything your ancestors knew, you know! It is all there in the subconscious.

Thanks for info all, ill pick up a crystal ball this friday, maybe try it out.
