Awesome, hours of practice and choreography went into that. Wonder what he's saying as he juggles, because you can tell he's not singing with the music?

This is what Jason (one of the top jugglers) thinks about this performance.
If you want to see hours of juggling practice

I'm not saying I'm a fan of Jason (not at all) just thinking of sharing.

The guy makes it look so simple and fun. I think I'll try imaginary balls while

standing on my head

This went around another list I was on about six months ago. I think his name is Chris Bliss. One of the guys made an interesting observation, from a jugglers point of view. He was saying that its only three balls and that there are only a few different tricks that are repeated and that the tricks are not that difficult.
FROM MY P.O.V. the guy is fantastic!!! I juggle some, I realize that there are more difficult tricks and he could be juggling more balls but why be jealous? I appreciate what he has accomplished. My hat is off and my balls are rolling across the floor.

It goes to show that presentation is what really makes an act go. Someone else could do something simple with the same basic tricks, but not as well. Or yet another could do something more technically skillful, but which an audience doesn't understand. It's all about believing in what you have to say and making a connection.

Preach it Brother Tim. You hit the nail on the head.

On the Dutch Jugglingforum a novice asked this question: "How skilled do you have to be to be able to perform?". The answer that most of us gave was: "It doesn't depends on your juggling skills it depends on how you perform these skills!" That is exactly what Chris Bliss does. From a juggling-skill point of view it isn't much what he does, you have to be a juggler though to see it. I've seen jugglingperformances much more skillfull but much less entertaining. Nice for jugglers to watch but how many % of a normal audience is a juggler?
