"   Photo: Power Band  Are Power Balance bracelets the adult version of Silly Bandz for kids? Both products come in a variety of colors, but unlike the straightforward approach of dinosaur and Justin Beiber themed shapes that make Silly Bandz so appealing to kids, Power Balance Bands rely on the idea that their product utilizes &amp;quot;performance technology designed to work with your body&amp;#039;s natural energy field.&amp;quot; The silicone band, with a hologram, is sold for $29.95, and was created by a group of athletes in Orange County, California. Despite critics labeling the bracelet as mere hocus-pocus, a growing number of celebrities like Leonardo Dicaprio, David Beckham, and even the royal to-be Kate Middleton have been spotted wearing the energy optimizing bracelets.
