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.
