All The Rage Right Now: Magic Fushigi Balls

Magic balls: every wizard has them. And now you can too thanks to the Fushigi! WTF's a Fushigi? Just read this insightful review:

Dudes, if you ever want a relationship with a member of the opposite sex, do not start "Fushigiing". Nothing says "I'm a nerdy social leper" like Fushigi. You'd probably be better off donning a silk cape and performing magic. I hope this fad goes away quickly so the 'contact juggler' elitists will stop crying that the Fushigi ball is exploiting the time-honored sport of 'contact juggling'. You know this is a dorkfest by the nerdy-ass names of 'maneuvers' like "Enigma" and "Prayer Cross."

Okay so I was too busy ordering as many Fushigis as your credit card would allow to read all that. So in case it didn't explain, a Fushigi consists of a stainless steel ball inside an acrylic ball with optical illusionistic (word wizardry +4) properties that you roll around in your hands to mesmerize passers-by and hopefully earn enough spare change to score a bottle of hooch. Alternatively, tell your audience once they've donated a minimum of $10 you'll jump off the curb barefoot into a pile of broken glass. Hey -- that shit works, I've seen it.

Hit the jump for a mind-numbingly awesome commercial.

Thanks to Ali and Mark, who are both smart enough to know you shouldn't panhandle at a busy intersection because nobody really pays attention when they're driving and they'll hit you while playing with their phone.

  This is a disturbing video of a robot that can "juggle" two ping-pong balls using a paddle and a whole bunch of human-killing algorithms. I know the screencap looks like there might actually be four or five balls, but that's just because the little f***er is so damn fast. Acc... / Continue →

• Another Day, Another Ball-Jiggling Robot

  June 3, 2011

  Did I say jiggling? Because I meant juggling. I'm just not gonna change the headline because I figured the sensationalism might attract some more traffic. "Like opening a nudey bar at the mall?" Exactly like opening a nudey bar at the mall. This is a robot that can juggle ... / Continue →
