Simply amazing. I’m very impressed.
Okay, that is just insane. And cool. Call it…insanely cool. 
At the beginning of last school year, we had a motivational speaker come rally the teachers and staff in a sort of whoo hoo! let’s do this teaching thing! presentation. He was a one-armed juggler who was quite skilled (and studied), and his theme was basically overcoming obstacles to do not just what others can do, but better and beyond anyone’s expectations.
Great message…until he committed suicide a few months later. 
We also learned in the article about his death that he’d lost his arm in a previous suicide attempt when he’d stepped in front of a train. Kind of takes the gloss off his message.
Ruff…what a buzz kill…whats your point?
One amoung many sweet…thanks!

That is impressive. I may actually go so far as to say it’s 1mpressive.
Very cool. Thanks for showing us this.
The guy looks like Henry Winkler with a Ted Danson hairdo. Great act!
Holy BLAP! Coolest juggling act ever. What really made it work was the way he got into the music and the performance, especially his facial expressions. The juggling stopped being a neat trick and started being a representation of the music - now that’s cool.
I have seen some very cool juggling in the past, and I’ve seen cool juggling set to music. But, until now, I’ve never seen someone with such good timing and showmanship that it looks like they are actually conducting the music. That was just awesome.
That was the neatest juggling I’ve ever seen. The dude was into it.
Thanks.
Ho Lee Shit!
That was impressive. Have any of you seen Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion?
Great choreography. I had to watch it twice, because I simply didn’t believe it the first time.
This guy makes the guy who juggles on the giant keyboard look like crap.
Diss Chris Bliss: http://www.jasongarfield.com/pennradio.html
Jason Garfield (one of the best jugglers in the world) rants about the popularity of the Chris Bliss video. Then parodies it. Except, with 5 balls.
(Read his rant, and read the text on the page that the video is actually hosted on, too, but definitely watch the video!)
Mmmmm… Viktor Kee insert Homer Simpsonesque drooling here
Sorry, I’m a juggling nerd & groupie. I can’t help it. Hell I even met my boyfriend at a juggling convention.
That is truly awesome juggling, but I don’t think he got into the music as much as Bliss.
Cute. I definitely see Garfield’s point, but as DanBlather said, Garfield lacks Bliss’s showmanship. This is particularly evident in this case because Garfield made it clear he was mocking Bliss, as though the entire act was somehow beneath him - yes, even his 5-ball version - and so he fails to present the coherence of narrative that Bliss does so well.
Jason Garfield pretty much does think that it is beneath him. He is all about technical juggling and thinks that showmanship is for weenies. At least that is the impression I’ve gotten of him.
It’s amazing how Garfield can show contempt and technique at the same time.

Juggling: Gravity’s way of making you bend over. A lot.
I think Jason’s critique is spot on. The most impressive thing about Bliss is that he goes on for a long time without dropping. The patterns are simple and boring and although it was well choreographed to the music, it didn’t hold my interest. I think most of the power of the act came from the great music.
That said, Jason’s act, while technically far superior, lacks the polish of Chris’ act. Presumably because he hasn’t worked on it as long. But it’s clear he’s a much better juggler. (It was also a bit cheap that he used the audio track from Bliss’ act that included applause for Bliss, not him.)
And I pit the both of their video directors for using too many tight shots that didn’t show the full trajectories of the balls. Particularly the Bliss video. Very annoying.
