leadchipmunk Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 That is Hours/Days/Years of practice.... and basic visual illusion.True, but I think it is more impressive than fushigi. Though, the principles are the same.

MementoMori Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 It's not actually called Fushigi. That's just a brand name for that specific product.It's actually called Contact Juggling, and has been around for a while (see David Bowie in Labyrinth).*Sorry, I've had some exposure to movement arts and the busking scene. I used to spin poi and play with fire myself* Quote It's like, that people … well, that everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds … not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe. (The Sandman - A Game of You) Link to comment
leadchipmunk Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yeah, most people just got their first contact of it through the Fushigi ball commercials, if you look on my link under Fushigi, it leads to a YouTube search for "contact juggling". HahaAlso, I love David Bowie and Labyrinth. The person doing it for Bowie in the movie was pretty much the inventor of contact juggling (outside of its precursor Baoding balls).

MementoMori Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yeah. Sorry I tend to assume most people will have only heard of Fushigi. My bad.Do you do anything like this?

leadchipmunk Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 No, I don't do any of it. I've played with contact juggling for a very short time, then my ADD kicked in and I moved on.
