A magician is someone who makes the believable appear unbelievable. That's what the Fushigi in motion does when it's wielded by an accomplished user. Even though you know that no feats against gravity are being performed, it seems that the magical ball has a mind of its own.
Contact juggling has been around for centuries, but the Fushigi in motion seems like an out-of-world event when you see it for the first time and even afterwards. Some of the moves can be accomplished with just a little practice, but others take much longer to do to the satisfaction of the juggler.
What's In a Fushigi?
Because every Fushigi ball is handmade, there are no two exactly alike. The acrylic orb is very tough and will last for many years unless it is dropped on hard surfaces that can chip or crack it. One orb is inside another clear one so that it looks as though the inner ball is floating.
The inside of the Fushigi ball is a secret known only to the manufacturer.
There are now two types of Fushigi in motion. The familiar chrome has been the standard for some time, but now you can get the added dimension of glow in the dark technology for even more ways to amaze your friends.

The Art of Contact Juggling
Every Fushigi comes with a tutorial DVD that explains the better-known moves that you can perform. Most experts agree that the beginner should first master the three-inch ball before moving on to the larger and heavier four-inch size.
Mastering the arts of levitation and defiance of gravity can be accomplished in a couple of weeks, but becoming a true contact juggler takes much longer. Many work at the craft for years to obtain just a few astounding tricks. The person who really wants to tempt the fates can try to manipulate two or three Fushigi balls at once.
In many parts of the world, contact juggling has been a craft of the street urchin, of the sideshow trickster, and people just like you. It doesn't require a great deal of skill to make the Fushigi in motion come to life. All it really takes is your time.
Develop your own style and create your own ways to make the Fushigi an attraction in your home and among your friends.
