it's just contact juggling. you get a ball, you roll it on your arms, etc. it takes a lotta practice, like pen spinning :P THE CAKE IS A LIE!!

Yeah, they're just trying to commercialize stuff again, like the Penmawashi-Stuff and penspinning.

Way to not be a moderator. OT I've tried contact juggling a couple of times and its actually pretty hard. I didn't really have the patience to learn two manipulations at the same time though. I don't know if any of you guys have seen Cirque Do Soleil but they have some crazy talented contact jugglers who make it look like butter. The most that I ever got to was just basic arm rolls nothing fancy. I've heard that the fushigi ball is just like any other contact juggling ball and it doesn't actually make the contact juggling any easier. -

That would be right. In fact, Fushigi is a brand name that they are trying to enforce on an already named skill. It's much like if all of a sudden Staedtler made a few pens for pen spinning but called it Staedterling and then pushed it so hard that many people no longer even new pen spinning as pen spinning, only as Staedterling. -

apparently you can do all those moves with any ball.. like a tennis ball... its just that this ball makes it look coller cause its shiny.... anyways i would want one haha.... but yeah they sayd EVERYONE CAN DO IT as if its really easy but trust me it must be hard as fuck

Harder with a tennis ball though. You really want a ball that is smooth and quite big. Also, for any isolations, it's much better to have a ball you can see through.

heavier = easier to CJ larger diameter/more surface area = easier to CJ a tennis ball is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of this. And CJing isn't hard once you get it. You don't have to worry so much about losing control since you can almost always catch the ball. Trust me. (unless you're a spaz lol) And there is a CJ thread already.
Paramours;41276]just a weighted ball[/QUOTE] no it's a ball inside a ball. BUT it has an off center "center of gravity." So basically it fails at being a ball.

Acrylic outside, chrome ball inside. It does shatter and people tend to drop CJ balls. However, acrylic it self is extremely durable and isn't prone to visible damage. acrylic- [video=youtube;6iC3b5JnSIE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iC3b5JnSIE[/video] [B][SIZE="5"] IMPORTANT:[/SIZE][/B] Fushigi reviews- [video=youtube;whDi2ANLjg0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whDi2ANLjg0[/video] [video=youtube;QqeqwyxF7rQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqeqwyxF7rQ&feature=related[/video] this is why we hate Fushigi -

I've had to explain to people on MULTIPLE occasions when I'm out somewhere doing CJ that Fushigi is a joke. Anyone who asks to see how the tricks are done, I teach them, and then point them to one of the multiple online dealers where you can get real equipment. It's sad, though, I can't CJ anywhere now without people going "HAY THAT'S THAT MAGIC BALL THING ON TV YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING COOL IT'S ALL THE BALL LUL."

yep. That's why Fushigi completely destroyed CJ. I hate how people don't understand that. On cjORG, there are multiple threads about this discussing our frustration over this stupid advertisement. -

contact juggling is awesome(and hard) and fushigi is a very cool name. but you can't just get a pre-invented ball, give it a name and sell it as your invention. idiots... edit: I thought about that, I want a revolution. from now on, every single man that helped inviting it should be banned from every single juggling site/forum AND from youtube.

no the guy (who marketed the ball) if FAR FROM an idiot. That's what he's trying to do, remarket Contact Juggling as we know it. He's probably one of the most slippery marketing people out there. The reason why CJ'ers are mad is because Fushigi fking ruined the art/sport as a whole. It's like if everyone thought a penspinner had a pen that did all the work, not the performer him/herself. That this took no skill and little effort.
