The Fushigi Ball infomercial actually is very controversial among the hard core contact juggling artists that do this on the street, sidewalks, subway, etc.

They feel as though an infomercial guru and large manufacturing plant in China is attempting to rebrand their art form known as “contact juggling” to “Fushigi”.

They also believe that they are hoping for these commercials to create the new Hackie Sack phenomenon among emo and wolf pack teenagers in highschool.

This fad would than spread throughout the world as Fushugi instead of it’s proper name, “contact juggling”.

Wow! The controversy has me dumbfounded as I would have never imagined there was a pist off “contact juggler” out there crying fowl.

Has anyone in Tyler seen the Fushigi Ball on TV? There is an ad spot on kids TV channels showing this amazing ball.

They say things like “Gravity Defying” and other amazing language.

All it is is a metal ball incased in a transparent bouncy ball type inclosure.

There are several adults and kids on the commercial moving these balls around on their arms and hands and exclaiming how amazing they are.

What the commercial doesn’t tell you is that these people are all skilled “contact jugglers”. I don’t think I could roll a basketball down my arm very well and definitely not a rubber bouncy ball with some metal in it.

The balls seem to have a little bit of a gyroscope type of movement.

Is this ball worth $19.99? Heck no! I don’t think the infomercial is going to make any money although when they use the infomercial to launch their product in local Walmart’s as well as our very own Tyler Walmart I think they will make some serious money on this.

For whatever reason people love new and different ball creations. I gave personally been the recipient of those balls that have goo and smaller balls inside them with netting on the outside.

I have broken a couple of them in the process of playing with them. I think I only paid 99 cents for these balls. I don’t think I would have paid $19.99 for the experience of squishiness.

Would I pay 19.99 for the therapeutic feeling of defying gravity on my hands and arms? I would not but I might pay 99 cents for it if I saw it on the “as seen on TV” section at Walmart in Tyler.

These infomercial guru’s may very well create a whole new hackey sack type of phenomenon and we will see these things everywhere.

Tyler TX teachers will be taking them up in class along with hackey sacks, yo yo’s and the all new glow in the dark Fushigi Balls.
