Fushigi Ball As Seen On TV is a brand new, dynamically designed ball used in the mysterious art of contact juggling. With Fushigi the operator exploits the reflective properties of a sphere through specific hand and body isolations and movements that are designed to give the appearance that the Fushigi sphere is moving on its own or even floating. Using is an incredible, therapeutic form of relaxation. The art of maneuvering a reflective sphere through mind and body isolation and manipulation creates the illusion that the sphere may be defying the laws of gravity, as if the sphere is moving on its own. Illustrates Newton's laws of gravity or Kepler's laws of planetary motion with the swirl of your hand.
No matter what age, YOU can master your with maneuvers like: the Levitation, The Enigma, PalmSpin, and so many more...

What is a Fushigi Ball?
A fushigi ball is a clear ball made of plastic that is used in the art of fushigi – which is a therapeutic practice that basically, through entertaining and awe-inspiring illusion, allows the user to ‘defy gravity’ and do a myriad of highly-interesting tricks and techniques. A fushigi ball can be flown, spun, or levitated – although it cannot do these things on its own!
How does it work?
As mentioned, the fushigi ball doesn’t move around and pull off amazing tricks on its own. You control it actively through hand motions, by a technique known as ‘contact juggling’. This is a way to juggle that involves keeping the ball on the body, therefore ‘in contact’, instead of tossing it into the air. By practicing hand techniques and motions, you can make the ball appear to spin, levitate, and float, all without invisible strings or any other apparatus. What makes the illusion work is that the ball is a sphere that looks the same no matter what the angle. This is because the surface is the same all over – which means an observer cannot tell that the ball is moving around a fixed contact point. It’s hard to see this in real life, but there are videos which point this out and make it apparent. The best way to learn how it works, though, is to watch an instructional clip or DVD, so you can see the processes with your own eyes and listen to instructions on how to pull off these simple yet incredible tricks.
What is the purpose of it?
Fushigi is a recreational and therapeutic art that uses skill to pull off relaxing yet entertaining movements. You can use fushigi to control stress, or to simply entertain others (and yourself!). Note that a fushigi ball is not a toy; with that said, anyone, even small children, can learn how to do it and manipulate the ball with ease. Many today are picking up a fushigi ball and learning fushigi as a part of a growing craze over the art, owing to the fact that the art is very visually appealing and even challenging once you get up to the more advanced tricks. A good fushigi practitioner – who can be just about anyone – can take a 3-inch or larger fushigi ball and use it to seemingly create magic. If you want to invoke a sense of awe in yourself and your friends and family, then picking up a fushigi ball and getting started might be for you.

fushigi ball

This contact juggling ball is absolutely wonderful. It is crystal clear and very beautiful, it has a good weight and good surface feel. Great bargain at this price. This particular ball is toward the larger size which is perfect for me. I have big hands (6'2"). If you are new to contact juggling and tall you might want to give this ball a try. I highly recommend it. I cannot believe how beautiful it is. To keep it preserved and to carry it around you might want to get a pouch.This is the one I purchased and it fits nicely.

My 7yr old son saw the TV advertised brother of this acrylic ball and was dissapointed that it didnt actually defy gravity in any measurable way. I, on the other hand, was surprised that with some practice and patience, it is possible to create some of the interesting effects of the "contact jugglers". So, as long as you dont expect to get an actual aberration of physics, this is an fun ball that was worth the price. I am getting a really good hang of this. My son is getting jealous.

These are absolutely great. I have a 17yr old and a ten year old who wanted to try to learn contact juggling. Although it takes time, patience, and practice (like most things), my boys are having fun and progressing along just fine. I was concerned that the acrylic might look awful after being dropped on the floor a few times, but that is not the case. They have thudded and rolled across a hard porcelain floor more times than I can count, but they are holding up great!
