Damn! Thats scared me slightly. But its an awsome idea and well performed.
I liked it :) It must look great "and somewhat horrifying" from a distance.
I loved it!

Very nice movement in that act. But I've gotta say, that those
head-mask-thingies really freak me out...

Nice to hear "The Art of Noise" again after so long.
Or should that be "The Sport of Noise"?

He finishes the act in this one. I wonder if he really does the seven
ball flash blindfolded or if there are eye holes in the mask somewhere
else. If he really can't see then that's the most technical trick in the
video.

I thought it was really boring and stupid. But at least was boring and
stupid in a different way.

Ha, he isnt wearing the mask over his face! Its across the top of his head
and he is looking down the whole time. He has even gone ot the trouble of
painting his face red ot cover it up even more but at one point you can
see his mouth. Couldn't you tell from the strangle neck angle.

I noticed this too. Its a solution to the problem bounce jugglers have.
The audience usually only sees the top of the juggler's head. The act is
pretty silly looking. Especially with the frogs on the side.

I'm pretty sure the blindfold is real.

I'm also pretty sure he can see exactly what he is doing.

Those eyeholes in the mask are level with somewhere between his forehead
and the crown of his head!

It's kind of like if Guy H went to a bad disco and decided to freak some
people out... in a good way ;o判

I saw this act when he was touring with Cirque Dreams in the US. It is a
bit creepy looking from further away. Up close/on video it looks funny.
I remember being sad that this was the only juggling in the show.

You do realise the mask is like on the top of his head and not his face
right?
In other words it's a super big hack to steal the words of someone else.

I think this is mostly the same act only longer and it has the blindfold
bit at the end. Frogs! Randomly.

It was kind of interesting. Odd, but interesting. I've always foudn acts
with masks cool. Anywho...thanks for posting this Ady.

I've seen this guy before - love the act. Very nice stuff! It is just
the sort of concept act that I find very entertaining.

I likes it. He reminds me of No Face from Spirited Away, up until the
kerrazy dancing anyway.

Yes! Thanks I was wracking my brains, trying to think what it reminded me
of, that's exactly it.

Love the act, stylish, creepy and off the wall.

Haha, now I'm imagining that juggler's mask opening up and swallowing the
juggling balls, the random frogs, and the audience. Anime-style, of
course.

Very neat. I agree with jöhn...nice solution for bounce juggling and
looking down all the time.

Really liked his movement style...reminded me of the Muppets. Looked like
something out of Labyrinth.
