These have both been posted before.

I’d seen the first guy before, he’s awsome, but the second one absolutely blew my mind! :astonished:

I finally watched the Jason Garfield video. Wow! I saw Chris Bliss last fall on a cruise ship The musical juggling was the highlight of his act, which was otherwise standup comedy. I don’t know how the Bliss video got to where it was being forwarded all over the world, multiple times, but if he had anything to do with it he’s a genius.

Jason’s a genius as well, because now his video is following the Bliss video all around the world, generating huge publicity for both of them. The 5-ball version is technically awesome, but I hope nobody thinks that video was done all in one take. I wouldn’t expect it to be in any case, as I’m sure he put the act together in response to the popularity of the Bliss video. That’s an awfully long time to do constant 5-ball tricks!

As a non-juggling audience, I would like the Chris Bliss version better. The Garfield version would probably tire the mind of a non-juggler and wear them out. It’s supremely suited to an audience of jugglers though. Musical choreography with juggling is easier to follow with a smaller number of objects. But this doesn’t matter. They’re both great acts, and both jugglers are still getting their videos forwarded all over the place, as evidenced by this thread. I’m surprised I only got them personally emailed to me a couple of times!

I gotta tell you, John, I never took you for the cruise-ship-vacation-type-of-guy. That may be fodder for another thread…

And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Cruise vacations can be really nice! It depends what you’re looking for in a vacation. For starters, I’m not the only one vacationing, or planning what to do. In this case, we had a group of 10 family and friends.

One downside of cruise vacations is that you’re probably not going to bring a unicycle. I usually don’t anyway, as we have a “family separation” of unicycle trips from “us” trips. Our recent Hawaii trip was an exception (pictures to come).

BTW, here’s Chris Bliss on our cruise:

Those were two awesome vids - I particularly liked it when Garfield was lip syncing and making the same goofy faces that Bliss made at certain points :slight_smile:

Off-topic, but I have to say that my wife and I went on a cruise with another couple some years ago and it was quite a blast.

cool

I’ve seen the first one I thought that was crazy before but that second one was awesome.

that thing he does about 2/3 the way through is what im working on but w/ 3 balls

Darn it! I was expecting video with music!!

Great videos I haven’t seen before. Coincidentally the other night on TV I saw the first showing of the new Fatboy Slim music video, which consists of Chris Bliss juggling along to the new song That Old Pair of Jeans.

wow.

And I though i was good cuz i could juggle 2 balls =S
