Pretty good juggling, EH? Wonder if that Beatles music was added after the performance or was it played to the act?

The slower frame rate also enhanced the effects of the balls flying!

Last September my 10 piece band played for a sellout celebration for Air America Phoenix at The Venue in Scottsdale, and Chris was on just before we were - it's for real, he's juggling while The Beatles music plays - it was pretty cool. I talked with him for a bit afterwards, and he remarked that he is still surprised by audience reactions to his gig!

Knurf Balls He might be using them, that would slow the balls flight down.

Chris uses regular tennis balls.

He's a good friend of mine and a terrific guy; a VERY funny amd humble man.
This video recently "went viral" on the `net, and no one was more surprised then Chris. If you get a chance to see him perform live, I'd recommend it- He's a pro in many ways.

He's also working on a project he feels very deeply about aside from the comedy and the juggling:

Check it out- a very worthy cause for all of us.

Next time someone asks me how to cut a music video, I'm gonna send them to that video. That guy's got RHYTHM!

TC - please tell him he rocks. Thanks for the link grafixjoe

And the whole Liberals thing confuses me - over here the Liberals are the right wing conservative types - that's not the case there, is it?

I can't believe I just watched over four minutes of Juggling and and actually enjoyed it all the way through. It's even inspiring in a strange way. Wow.

Some forward-looking music video director will hook up this guy for the right song. Seriously.

I googled Chris and found another juggler repeating the same exact routine with two more balls (and an obvious grudge). This guy then also juggles 10 balls!!

Anyway, they were both incredible. I don't think I've ever seen so much juggling without a drop.

Yeah I saw that guy too - but he's a good example of a mechanical cutter. There's no emotion, well, actually, he does seem to have a grudge, so I guess there's some emotion, but he isn't hitting the marks as cleanly and he isn't doing it for the joy of it. It's not a dance, it's a .... clockwork piece... he's copied it and regurgitated it without the love of it intact.

Also I reckon he dropped some balls at one point because there's an awkward cut that suggests two different performances. Not that that's a reason to not like it - it's technically very impressive.

I also did notice that near the beginning he almost lost a ball but he saved it.
