www.fusionBandz.com I have a hard time buying into these things. Anyone? The demo at snow show worked for me, but was that smoke and mirrors?
Is this for real?

Why don't you go and buy one and give us all a report?

I like the idea of a group funded purchase and I report.

It states Mylar fiber in the add. This is nothing more than a semi-crystalline plastic used in the industry for food packaging, and other applications. Common non-trade name is:
Polyethylene terephthalate (sometimes written poly(ethylene terephthalate)), commonly abbreviated PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P, is a thermoplasticpolymer resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber. The term 'polyethylene terephthalate' is a source of confusion because this substance, PET, does not contain polyethylene. Thus, the alternate form, 'poly(ethylene terephthalate)' is often used in scholarly journals for the sake of accuracy and clarity.
So save a bunch of liter soda bottles and make a suit. You could be superman if this is truly the wonder material.

Power Balance is a brand of hologram bracelet claimed by its manufacturers and vendors to "use holographic technology" to affect the wearer's "natural energy field". Numerous independent studies of the device have found that it is completely ineffective at improving athletic performance.
According to the manufacturers, Power Balance bracelets are designed to "resonate with and respond to the natural energy field of the body".[1] It is promoted through paid celebrity endorsements[2] and viral marketing rather than published scientific work.[3] Power Balance says they do not make any medical or scientific claims about their products,[4] although the company was later forced to recant this assertion.[5]
The company has been the focus of significant criticism, particularly for false advertising. It has been described as "like the tooth fairy"[6] and a "very successful marketing scam".[7] Power Balance bands have become a fad among professional sportsmen, leading one journalist to say that "a growing number of professional sportsmen and their attendants are starting to sound like New Age crystal healers."[1]
In December 2010, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) required Power Balance to do several things, including making this statement admitting they "engaged in misleading conduct":
"In our advertising we stated that Power Balance wristbands improved your strength, balance and flexibility. We admit that there is no credible scientific evidence that supports our claims and therefore we engaged in misleading conduct in breach of s52 of the Trade Practices Act 1974. If you feel you have been misled by our promotions, we wish to unreservedly apologize and offer a full refund."[5]
In January 2011, a suit was filed against the company for fraud, false advertising, unfair competition and unjust enrichment.[8]

I truely see it as snake oil. But can not figure out how the smoke and mirrors trick worked. I did not buy one but was standing a bit long in the booth. They had me stand on one leg wearing the band and the guy pushed down on my arm and I held him quit easily as he pushed hard. Without the band I stood on one leg and he pushed my arm down quite easily. Did this before the free beers so balance was not affected. If this truly was the answer to all ills they would be trillionares with this product.

See what happens. I miss one snow show and now I have missed all the action! Hopefully you picked one up for the snow monkey! Perhaps if it was under 50 bucks we could add it to the thread about inexpensive gifts. P-1 if you buy one this year we will re-gift next year to Dave B !!!!!
