Prediction: N/A

I grew up with Hacky Sacks, so this one appeals to my inner child. But will it be a success? I don't know enough about kids' DRTV to make a prediction, but I do see quite a few positive signs. One, this is already a hot item at FAO Schwarz with its own section of the store. Two, it has the same sort of "cool factor" Fushigi (see No. 44) apparently had -- and kids will actually be able to do these tricks.
