Does anybody know what country the Fushigi Ball is made in?

Just out of curiosity|||If the name is any indication, it's at least Japanese in origin, not sure about manufacture, if that's what you're asking for.|||After the Fushigi marketers discovered contact juggling, which is an invention that has existed for roughly twenty years under different names (and in the case of multi-ball work, since about the 1500's in China), they decided to order their own acrylic/poly-resin balls from China early this year. However, they decided to use a Japanese word to brand it: Fushigi, which means "strange" or "mysterious", which a possible connotation of "magic" according to their site.





What the Fushigi ball actually is, is a solid chrome sphere surrounded by a thin layer of acrylic or polycarbonate. Previous contact juggling balls were made of pure crystal, acrylic, chrome, rubber, or even wood! The original Fushigi ball was simply an acrylic contact juggling ball, but it had the unfortunate side effect of causing fires if left in direct sunlight, which is why they have now stuck a chrome ball in the center.





Just to be clear, there is no magic trick or gimmick, no mechanism inside that actually make it defy gravity and float away. This is a perceptual illusion called "isolation" (in the commercial Kenny uses a "thumb hold" to make the ball appear to float), which you can see in many Youtube videos if you search for "contact juggling".





I do have to say, though, that any acrylic ball, even a Fushigi ball, looks quite striking when maneuvered correctly. But contrary to what is implied in the commercials, be aware that the artists involved have put in many months if not years perfecting the visual aspects of this beautiful art form! And there's a reason for that: contact juggling is extremely addictive!!|||No, but amazon. com sell them and prob give country of origin on the site.
