Stage balls are made of vinyl.

Fushigi is a metal sphere inside an acrylic shell.

Clear balls are acrylic.

Silver ones are stainless steel hollow balls.

This thing is pretty cool, Fushigi made one out of acrylic so it wont break. Also, great job. 5/5.

@MrCubefreak Fushigi's is a steel sphere inside an acrylic shell. It's more brittle than a pure acrylic and the steel ball isn't centered. I prefer my 4" steel most of the time.

Thanks for the compliment! :)

I'm just starting to practice contact juggling, I'm an absolute beginner. I hope to have this level of skill after only 4 weeks...as of now, i'm just trying not to fling my ball through any windows...again. =P

[Staragate]

@amadeus5521 It took me 3 weeks to do a proper butterfly, so it sounds like you are on the right track! Visit the website I mentioned in the description for tutorials. This 'prayer' and body roll was very difficult for me. I'm just glad I nailed it for the contest. :)

does it take alot of pratice??????

[Staragate]

@mason523597 Yes, to get to this level. Good news is, the more you practice, the more you can do... and the more fun it is. :-D

now quick hunny turn off the camera and get in the car before were late for the renaissance fair!

[Staragate]

Note on Fushigi: It's a manufacturer that saw the appeal of contact juggling and decided to mass market it to kids. It's a serious art form and there isn't a 'gimmick'. No motors, no magnets, no strings. Just skill.... and it can be learned and is really fun!

@MrCubefreak all contact balls are made out of acrylic besides the metal ones
