Acrylic Ball with a shiny ball on the inside.
TV doesn’t tell you you have to learn contact juggling.
You are a long way off from most of those tricks. Quick internet search shows a lot of unhappy people. Apparently it cracks easy too.
Buy an acrylic ball from a juggling supplier and watch youtube for lessons.
I’m not much of a contact juggler, maybe some of you know a good ball to use.
I wonder if Michael Moschen will get any $$…?
Maybe some of you impossible wheel riders should market it as a great new toy everyone should have!
(Like you could just buy one and get on it and ride around without much practice!)
At least when you buy a juggling kit you kinda know what you are getting into.
I recently saw the commercial and thought: “Wow, a toy for jugglers!”
Yes, they fail to mention that the people doing the cool moves have spent a lot of time learning them. Of course this is no different from the muscular, low-body-fat people demonstrating the latest exercise gizmos. They didn’t get to look that way by using the products they’re advertising…
I did think it seemed like a decent price for an acrylic ball? Maybe not, but the people who cracked theirs probably dropped them (a lot) on concrete or other hard surfaces.
I was in NYC on business a couple months ago and visited the big FAO Schwarz toy store where I bought a couple “Myachi” hand-sack toys. A lot of the moves are similar to what you see on this Fushigi ball video. It is fun to play around with, and is pretty impossible to damage. Kind of a mix between juggling and hacky-sack. I bought 3 and have tried to juggle them using just the back of my hands. Pretty challenging.
In case anyone was wondering, Fushigi is a Japanese word that means strange or weird. Interestingly, Myachi sounds like a Japanese word, but I think it is just something they made up.
