As one who is barely coordinated enough to juggle two balls (minds out of the gutter for a moment, please) this is pretty amazing.

Once you're at the web site click on the word "WATCH FINALE" in the lower left side of the page and make sure your speakers are on.
Hope you enjoy!

Well shootypoop - the video was taken down due to music copyright issues. Someone has posted it at YouTube though; get it while you can. (*Warning*, not the best video quality.)
And of course, you can watch the other "concert" video at this site....hopefully he'll put the juggling video back up soon.

That's easy. If everyone would just do what I tell them without question things would be great. |

I did a little searching and html source viewing and found it on google video, where it is downloadable.

Ooooo... juggling turf war. Alert the hospitals.
I kind of like the Bliss guy better. Maybe it's the sweats in a Gym thing the spoils it for the second guy. Maybe it's that Bliss seems to keep better time with the music. Art vs Science? Besides who cares? It's a good act and I think these other guys are jealous of a less skilled juggler getting a little chunk of what little fame there is for the art.
However having taught myself a little juggling a long time ago I agree that Bliss makes it look harder than it is. Once you get comfortable with the basic cascade pattern it's surprisingly easy to vary it greatly without a whole lot more practice. Funny too that certain patterns are hard but look easy while others are easy but look hard.
BTW there's some excellent stuff on the Wikipedia, including animations, on juggling |

I agree. Having watched em both again it is my opinion thaty while Garfield is a more technically proficient juggler, Bliss was much artistic, musical and entertaining.
Garfields rant is annoyingly jealous. I understand that it can be frustrating to be a great juggler for a long time and to suddenly have a much less proficient juggler getting all this attention. But get over it. It happens all the time. There are plenty of talented musicians and actors waiting tables watching people with much less talent becoming successful. It happens. Get over it, or be glad that juggling is getting this kind of attention, but bitching and moaning about it in public is just going to make Garfield look bad.
And in this case, it's not like Bliss is a hack. He may not be as good a juggler, but he's got heart.
IMHO
