I’m not exactly sure how Physics work with the PowerBalance wristband with just hologram stickers on it, but what is important right now is the fact that the manufacturer already admitted that their claims have no credible scientific evidence.
In our advertising we stated that Power Balance wristbands improved your strength, balance and flexibility.The PowerBalance wristband also became popular here in the Philippines for sports enthusiasts, although I’m quite certain those are just replicas of the original one. If you’re wearing one at a cost of 2-3 dollar, I guess you already figured it out it has really nothing to do with conjuring tricks. Thanks I didn’t find one to ease the discomfort of long hands-on in the computer keyboard.
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.
