What is a Fushigi Ball?
A fushigi ball is a clear ball made of plastic that is used in the art of fushigi – which is a therapeutic practice that basically, through entertaining and awe-inspiring illusion, allows the user to ‘defy gravity’ and do a myriad of highly-interesting tricks and techniques. A fushigi ball can be flown, spun, or levitated – although it cannot do these things on its own!
How does it work?
As mentioned, the fushigi ball doesn’t move around and pull off amazing tricks on its own. You control it actively through hand motions, by a technique known as ‘contact juggling’. This is a way to juggle that involves keeping the ball on the body, therefore ‘in contact’, instead of tossing it into the air. By practicing hand techniques and motions, you can make the ball appear to spin, levitate, and float, all without invisible strings or any other apparatus. What makes the illusion work is that the ball is a sphere that looks the same no matter what the angle. This is because the surface is the same all over – which means an observer cannot tell that the ball is moving around a fixed contact point. It’s hard to see this in real life, but there are videos which point this out and make it apparent. The best way to learn how it works, though, is to watch an instructional clip or DVD, so you can see the processes with your own eyes and listen to instructions on how to pull off these simple yet incredible tricks.
What is the purpose of it?
Fushigi is a recreational and therapeutic art that uses skill to pull off relaxing yet entertaining movements. You can use fushigi to control stress, or to simply entertain others (and yourself!). Note that a fushigi ball is not a toy; with that said, anyone, even small children, can learn how to do it and manipulate the ball with ease. Many today are picking up a fushigi ball and learning fushigi as a part of a growing craze over the art, owing to the fact that the art is very visually appealing and even challenging once you get up to the more advanced tricks. A good fushigi practitioner – who can be just about anyone – can take a 3-inch or larger fushigi ball and use it to seemingly create magic. If you want to invoke a sense of awe in yourself and your friends and family, then picking up a fushigi ball and getting started might be for you.
