The fushiball is a clear ball made of plastic that is used in the art of fushigi , which is a therapeutic pratice and very entertaining. Allowing the user to seemingly defy gravity with a endless amount of techniques and tricks. A Fushigi Ball can be tossed, "levitated",or spun but it can not do anything on it own.
The basic principle of why the fushigi ball works is because of the ball has a completely uniform surface. By just holding it in a single space and manipulating it any way leaves spectaters unable to tell if it's rotating in the fixed spot. Because of it being a perfect sphere.That holds true for solid color balls.
You control it with hand movements, the technique known as "Contact Juggling". This form juggling involves keeping the ball on the body, in contact, instead of throwing it in the air. Without any strings or magic tricks.
I have more to come on the Fushigi ball and Contact Juggling in the near future!
