In 2010, there were a rush of commercials about the magic floating anti-gravity Fushigi Ball. It was marketed towards a younger demographic audience even though it explicitly states it is not intended for children.
Contact juggling is a difficult skill to master, and many parents were pissed when they bought this ball for their kids thinking it was a simple magic trick.

i bought my first fushigi in like 1998. it started floating on its own, i couldnt move it, to this day its still floating in ohio, i couldnt bring it with me when i left. there is talk that it was turned into the first perpetual motion source of energy, so the house i moved out of has full handicap accessibility, a geothermal water source that could withstand the zombie apocalypse and heat the house, and now the fushigi.

When I was working at Starbucks we hired someone who said he was a "contact juggler", this is back when phones only had "snake"/no internet so I just took him at his world. He pretty much would take 3-4 steel balls(they were about the size of a tangerine) and would do all kinds of crazy random things. I've never had or needed a reason to bring him or that story up, but then you had to go and bring up Fushigi....the toy that isnt a toy

When I was six years old all I wanted for Christmas was an inflatable Mr Man chair (Mr Bump) and a stapler. The first thing I did was have my dad inflate the chair and the second thing I did was staple the chair. Apparently I was upset with the results but I think now that I honestly had that plan all along. This was back in 1985 so I couldn't ask for a phone or games console so the chair and stapler were legit wants at that time.

I remember this being advertised all the time on TV when I was a kid, even back then I thought it was most likely baloney, so I never had any desire to get one. I forgot this thing existed after all of these years until I was watching a 2000's commercial compilation for fun and the Fushigi ball came up. As a kid watching the ad I noticed it was a shiny ball inside a clear shell, although I thought perhaps there was another smaller weighted ball inside of the shiny part, or maybe a magnetic ball inside to help do balancing tricks. Nope, it's just a regular ball. It just had a weird name and they hyped it up to be the greatest thing ever made. I think we don't have to censor that guy's review on Amazon here in the comments section, we can say it; Fushitty.

I’ll tell my story a (poor story). My parents never bought anything aired on tv or commercials, which was a good thing. However, I did have a somewhat interest or slight curiosity to this ‘magic levitating ball’. As a teenager, one day browsing a local Walgreens store, there was one fushigi box opened with the physical ball outside of it. Someone else has opened it inside the store & left it there. No I did not steal it, tho that may have been my initial thought, but I did pick it up & try to move it around & immediately knew it was just a glass like, heavy, metal ball, said this stupid, put it back on the shelf & bought my $1 bag of onion ring chips & Arizona drink 🤣

I'd much rather take the palm-sized UFO, or that little fuzzy, wiggly little worm thing over Fushigi. At least with those, it's just string magic, and much simpler to pull off. Great stepping stone into contact juggling.

I remember getting fushigi for christmas, I believe it was in 2011, I remember opening the box to start playing with it to see the "magic." But instead, it slipped out of my hand and landed on the floor just like a regular ball. I only played with it for a couple of days and completely lost interest in it after that. It was just a plastic ball, that was it. No anti-gravity, no magic, completely got fooled by the scam.

My friend Billy had one of those when I was 10 and he was 9. He thought that the ball stayed in a place no matter what he did, but he’d shake so much while performing and it didn’t, for a second, look the way it was supposed to.

Saw a used one in a thrift shop. I passed it by. The clearness on the borders of the ball, is what, besides precise hand movements, gives the illusion of defying gravity.

I found one at Walmart years ago on clearance for $10 I think. Its only purpose was to get people interested in contact juggling. The commercials, of course, overhyped it.

I remember asking my granddad for this. He looked at the commercial one time, told me it was fake, and walked out of my room. And that was that (even though I still wanted it lol)

One time someone brought one to school and they were showing off to their friends how cool and mysterious was this "floating" that they acquired. I was like "can i see it?" And they were like "its not as easy as it looks". And right off the bat i was able to perfectly replicate every trick from the commercial....in the same order....because i have seen the ad a million times and already figured out on my own that its all about gripping the ball with narrow or small parts of your hands and occasionally your antecubital fossa, while moving your hand around in ways that the ball doesn't appear to move. Keep in mind, this 12 year old that i once was would eventually grow up to solve a 5x5 rubicks cube long before figuring out how to solve a 2x2, and has a 17-0 winstreak against all sorts of escape rooms. I was like "oh sure...real hard...." the kid's friend was impressed but he tried to downplay it by say "oh he probably hand his own fushigi and practiced with it already." And i responded with "actually this is the first time i have ever seen one in real life.....i'm just not stupid..." ....both of those kids beat me up that day for saying that.....to this day, i am still not sorry because they were both quite stupid.

I remember being like 8 around the time these ads were running and thinking that this was stupid. Maybe I just didn't "get it" as a kid but I remember the ads making me upset. I would lean to my dad and say "they'll sell anything huh?" thinking I was so smart before going back to watching Yu-Gi-Oh. To this day I'm still not really sure what you're supposed to "get" out of this.

The special thing that makes the fushigi ball look like it's levitating is the 2 inch layer of glass around the mirror, the rest is raw skill and practice to improve.

So hilarious. My 11 year old just bought a used one (in perfect condition - the DVD was still in its wrapper) for $1 at a school rummage sale. Watched your video before we even started playing with it. Thanks so much for putting this together. Maybe he'll be a professional contact juggler. Who knows!
