A friend of mine wears one of these.

My entire school went through a godforsaken stage of wearing those dumbass Silly Bands.
They lasted an entire semester.
They also went through a stage of this stupid stuff, but it was over in a couple of months.

POWER BALANCE bracelets contain two Mylar Hologram's which are embedded with frequencies that react with your body's electro-magnetic field. When the static POWER BALANCE Hologram comes in contact with your body's energy field, it begins to resonate in accordance with each individual's biological energy system, creating a harmonic loop that optimizes your energy field, maintains maximum energy flow while it clears the pathways so the electro-chemical exchange functions like the well-tuned generator it was designed to be, resulting in immediate improved balance, increased core strength, greater flexibility, increased range of motion and overall well-being.

This bracelet has simulated 3-d images in it which give you superpowers.
Does that make any sense outside of a comic book?

Yup, another device that practically abuses the placebo effect.

I WANT ONE OF THOSE BUTTONS

This kid has one, and I said to him one day, "If that thing helps you balance, why don't you take it off then balance?" He says okay, and balances just like he did with the bracelet on. I told him, "lol you got ripped off" and he's like, "fuuuuuuu-"

Lately I've been seeing more and more people wear PowerBalance Bracelets at my school. I don't think they do anything at all, but I want to hear more opinions. People who wear them insist that they "increase your athletic abilities" but they have no proof at all. Discuss your opinions or proof that they work here.

that's like saying "lemme put this battery up my ass, that'll make me perform better in love"

They're just using large words and random phrases to trick idiots. And all of the stuff with your body's energy field? Give me a break.

The General Salesmen tactics for this product are usually shove you onto the ground, put it on, tell you it helps, the Placebo effect kicks in, and then... he kinda just shoves you onto the floor again, I could see right through it, I played along, but I wasn't affected, so I returned it and said it doesn't do anything, He said they did, and I was wrong, but I could tell it in his eyes, he totally agreed.

I want to compare this to silly bands but that was just a fad.
