    Incredible musicality, I wish I'd seen that before my Focus instrumental musicality workshop 2 weeks ago, he demonstrates beautifully how to switch instrument!

    I can see why you would like it David, tons of subtle musicality and he barely moves his feet during the performance!

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    All 3 of his 'partners' follow even the slightest flick of his wrist. And I bet they never complain if he drops them...

    Fabulous.

    Naturally he started with the ball in his right hand...

    Amazing - makes Amir's impersonation of Johnny Lloyd look like a ballet dancer with crystal balls

    The juggling is more impressive, but I found it the equivalent of watching a "move monster" dancing off time...

    I'd agree, the juggling is great but it lacks the entertainment value of the first clip. He's just going through the motions, doesn't seem to be having the same fun the first guy was having - although to be fair, he doesn't have an audience to react to/with.

    I'm in total awe of anyone who can juggle though

    I can see that Jason Garfield did a much more technically challenging performance 5 balls instead of 3 and many more really difficult moves ...But somehow it wasn't quite so gripping . Jason wasn't so beautifully tight on the music as Chris Bliss was IMO. I don't think I'm being unduly influenced by the fact that Chris Bliss was smart on stage with a live audience and Jason was all alone in a warehouse wearing a tracksuit.

    Seemed a bit tragic to me. A bit 'Not fair, it shoudda bin me!'

    A parallel with dancing perhaps guys?

    A few moves done really well and exquisitely timed with the music = goosebumps all over.

    A load of technical showy moves not so tight with the music = no goosebumps.

    Oh yeah and a smart suit helps too

    And a decent venue.

    Very interesting.

    The 5-ball guy does much cleverer tricks, but I'd say he's nowhere near as musical.

    If I had to watch it without music, I'd be a lot more impressed with the 5-ball guy (who also spins very nicely).

    But I've seen clever tricks before - and much cleverer ones than that - so although I'm left feeling "I wish I could do that", it's not very interesting any more.

    There was a juggler at Cirque du Soleil a couple of years back that juggled very musically and very inventively with 7 balls. I was completely blown away by it. The sort of blown away that almost leaves you unable to breathe.

    Was it Viktor Kee?
