Contact Juggling (also known as Dynamic Manipulation, Sphereplay, Orb Rolling, Spherical balancing etc) is a relatively new form of juggling where balls are rolled over the hands and body instead of tossing them in the air. The fundamental ideas of contact juggling were formulated in the early 1980s by physical artist Michael Moschen, although different forms of CJ (as we call it) have been around for quite some time.

Contact Juggling Day 7
My 7th day and I haven't caused myself or anyone around me any 'major' injury! :D Today was actually pretty neat as I show off what I've been practicing the last few days which are a combination of wipers, butterflies, back to back transfers and cradle to palm transfers :3 My videos will now more likely be weekly/biweekly. If you liked watching me and my progress into the world of contact juggling, please feel free to continue watching me :3

New Fushigi Ball Commercial
FUSHIGI is a brand new, dynamically designed ball used in the mysterious art of contact juggling. With FUSHIGI the operator exploits the reflective properties of a sphere through specific hand and body isolations and movements that are designed to give the appearance that the FUSHIGI sphere is moving on its own or even floating. Using FUSHIGI is an incredible, therapeutic form of relaxation. The art of maneuvering a reflective sphere through mind and body isolation and manipulation creates the illusion that the sphere may be defying the laws of gravity, as if the sphere is moving on its own. FUSHIGI In Motion is the process of merging contact juggling with dance. Your maneuvers can be endless with the creation of new and amazing routines that incorporate your favorite form of dance and blend the use of your FUSHIGI BALL to add a whole new element. Whether you prefer Hip Hop, traditional break dancing, or even more fluid and classic styles, your FUSHIGI can be utilized as prime focal point to further your expression. We are seeing new illusions and expanded routines all the time and challenge you to discover your hidden abilities and to tap into a new and beautiful art form!
