Step 1 of 4

I know this isn't all that earth shattering. But I thought it was kind of neat and decided to share. :)

Step 2 of 4

The Fushigi ball is the acrylic ball with a metal ball inside it that you might have seen on TV. It's used for a form of juggling called Contact Juggling. It was pretty popular this past year.

Step 3 of 4

So I figured some of you might have one and might like this optical illusion you can do with one. I discovered this last summer by accident.

Step 4 of 4

Just hold it under water and this is the optical illusion you'll see. Pretty cool huh? :)

You're Done!

The reason the ball can appear to be floating is because you can't see it spinning. When it's rolling it'll look like its sliding. Takes a lot of practice but when done right the illusion of floating can be very strong.

The fushigi ball doesn't do anything. It's just a ball. You have to practice contact juggling to do it. But the ball itself doesn't do anything special. Do a YouTube or google search for "contact juggling".
