mmajunkie Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I was laying in bed last night, after a good shower...turned on the TV and thought about you.... FUSHIGI!!! https://www.fushigiball.com/?mid=742426 I guess that stuff you practice in your videos is getting pretty popular. I was like wait a minute, I know I've seen that before!! Stupid infomercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yeah Dizz is awesome with that thing. Never heard of it until she posted her youtube video but that's some tight stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Lol! That commercial is the bane of contact jugglers everywhere. Including me. It sparked a 100 page argument on the cj forum. Anyway, frogshee gee is a poorly made product to mass market CJ. I'm glad you guys know the truth that it's not a ShamWOW gimmick. And MMA.... *shudder* About the videos: www.youtube.com/staragate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croyvern Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 you got skills dizz. Heck its a good night if I don't drop my guitar, and it has a strap. But I can play drunk, and that looks like it would be hard after a few beers. I can just hear the wife "Stop throwing that f&^%ing ball around the house!". Heh.

f0xx Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 What is the difference between this fushigi ball and a normal ball Dizz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megayeah Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 The differance is that only people with a lot of free time on their hands use the fushigi one. The normal balls are for busy people, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizz Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 A fushigi is a steel ball encased in acrylic. The ball is slightly off center so it looks wobbly when you use it. There is also a slight mold seam on it. A regular CJ ball is a clear acrylic. No seams or 'tell' marks to tell if it's turning or not. I personally use acrylics, vinyl stage balls or a 4" stainless steel ball. My favorite is the steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizz Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 No not a cheat, but that is how it's advertised. The commercial implies that there is a gimmick and it's easy. It's not, it takes practice and skill. Performers are now getting less tips and less gigs because the public perceives the gimmick and no longer impressed. It's actually affecting their lively hood since many depend on the tips for their living. The fushigi marketing strategy is opposite of what CJers stand for. http://www.contactjuggling.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7708&sid=4dc5f9f496c6a8d08305a1ed232b03d6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
