That was truly amazing. As I watched, the video paused a few times as it buffered, which would normally be annoying, but the freeze frames here only made it more incredible as I had several seconds to try and figure out where everything was--which he does of course in a split second.

Very entertaining. I can imagine an Olympic event--freestyle musical interpretation juggling. But, on the other hand, chances are no one else in the world can even come close. Thanks for the link, I really enjoyed it.

Am I the only one that tried to juggle after watching this?

I ended up breaking a window and causing a small fire.

I've been juggling for years . .. and Chris Bliss, this juggler, is better than me.

But . . . but . . he's not all that. Take a look at this guys riff on what Chris did. I think it's more about the music than anything else and good bit of, "I can do a basic cascade and this guy is much better than me. Wow!"

That guys good...but I like Chris Bliss better...Something tells me he could do the same thing as the other guy but just chose not to. And he kept better time to the music.

After watching you repeatedly drop (and I mean repeatedly


I know, I know.

I hadn't practiced in years and didn't know I was going to be juggling that night.

We had 22 kids for two hours and tehy were getting restless. The wife says . . . "why don't you juggle?" -=sigh=-

Fortunatly, the kids were mostly six and the fire was pretty cool by itself. I also issues them squirt-guns that had been modified to shoot in different directions with instructions to "put me out" if I catch fire.

One kid tried to shoot me and hit the kid next to him. She shot back and hit herself . . . everyone had a good time.

I am better with balls or clubs. Really, I am.

Well, I'm mixed about the Chris Bliss video. To be frank, when I first watched it, it didn't impress me much, except for one thing: I CAN'T DO IT! I did note that it was three ball juggling, and kept looking for him to make the routine more difficult. I've seen impressive juggling, and this wasn't it.

But it's not about the juggling in this case, it's about the showmanship. Bliss doesn't, to my knowledge, make any claims about being the best juggler, he's merely an entertainer, and this is his format. It doesn't need to be overanalyzed, in my personal opinion.

My thing isn't that Chris is claiming to be a great juggler. It's the fact that it's being passed around the internet as GREAT juggling. That kills me.

Jason's routine wasn't a formal performance either . . so shouldn't be judged for that. It was refutation about the GREAT juggling.

FWIW, I found both performances entertaining for different reasons. Can you dig it?

Anyone who can juggle flaming torches and still have all his/her hair afterward is a great juggler in my book.
