  • 10 people better doesn't juggle, since they can't press ONE right button...

  • el mejorrr...!!

    

  • el mejorrr...!!

  • Anthony My uncle and mother are trying to get in touch with your Father nick Gatto, they grew up together. Paul and Anna Zappacosta please have them email them at tomanykats@yahoo.com. Thanks and you are very good.

  • This is amazing one of my friends wants me to learn the whole show you just preformed I'll try my best.

  • 11 récords mundiales de esto... Malabarismo

  • And before this I thought juggling was shit,I was wrong :)

  • dios existe!!!

  • 10 personas seguramente estan celosas de que no pueden hacer algo asi

  • the juggling is awesome but the music just hurts my ears

  • the juggling is awesome but the music just hurts my ears

  • Holy crap!! That was AMAZING!!!!

  • that was easily the best 3 club routine i have ever seen, and probably the best i ever will see

  • HE IS THE WORLD'S BEST JUGGLER

  • This act is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.

  • After 5-ball half-shower at the beginning: "You're shimmying to the side! That makes it easy. Come on!"

    After 1 over-throw, 1 behind the back: "Look, I'm practising that, OK?"

    After 7-ball half-shower: "OK, I get it. I'm not in the same league as you."

  • Yeah, I'd most certainly need to wipe the sweat off my brow if I had to concentrate on that many things at once for that long... You're an example for multi-taskers everywhere, Senor Gatto :o)

  • im a juggler working in circus so i know just how hard it is and i know just how good he is , hes unreal thetalent cant be put into words hes got a natural ability for it and i know the old saying is practice makes perfect but im sorry unless your born with a natural ability for it you can never do the stuff he can , hes just unreal , the 3 club routine he does for me is awsome , so smooth and makes it look so easy , i would kill to be as good as him

  • ... then after three clubs he works his way up to 7, with tricks along the way...

  • at 6:01 when he got his 3 clubs i was like OH SHIT MY EYES ARE ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!!!

  • i saw this is portland OR and don't remember a juggling act. the show must change as they perform and tour

  • omg this is so awesome!!!! xDDD

  • I saw him as part of La Nouba a few weeks ago and he was amazing. Very good!

  • i realize that some performances weren't performed at some shows, the juggling act i didn't see

  • he left kooza thats why.

  • Comment removed

  • The saddest part of this whole video, is not being able to hear the audiece applaud very much at all...

  • There is no regular audience here.

    This was the press conference one month before the show began. The only people watching were Cirque executives and invited members of the media.

  • I'm aware of that, yet still I thought the applause of the people present could've been a bit louder... (Shrugs)

  • You're not gonna hear an applause because (1) There were only a couple hundred people in there at the most and the place sits 2,500. (2) The band's microphones were directly linked to the video feed, so all you would hear is music.

  • simplesmente o melhor do mundo.

  • i been told that when u are doin tricks...u have to stay still and no be moving aroud...but if u notice when he does the multiplex right after the 5 ball shower the balls wouldnt land on the other hand if he wouldnt move to the left......if he does it i think i should do it too

  • You have to TRY to stay still, but obviously that is very difficult when you are doing an insanely difficult trick. Just because he moves around doesn't mean your juggling will be better if you do ;)

  • although some of the times he move around are for showmanship.

  • @jugglingjoe101 all the times he moved around are for showmanship

  • He is doing that because he is a good entertainer. People don't care about juggling a lot of objects, they want to be entertained. If you stand in one place running a pattern and don't work the stage people fall asleep.

  • this is amazing! good physical workout too!

  • holy shit, this guy is amazing

  • i love waching a really good juggler do somthing simple like 3 clubs

  • AG the best of the best !!!!

  • Gatto is the best

  • nice

  • i'm going trick or treating as him. no one will know who I am

  • no pues mil respetos asia a ti eres el mejor zobrez adios

  • anthony es el mejor malabarista para mi eres el mejor anthony .el fondo de musica como se llama bueno si es que esta en internet

  • One of my favorite club routines, so quick.

  • where do you get the head bouncing ball/what are they called? he is a great juggler ..

  • It's a Target ball.

  • No, Sondre he gets his balls from ballsonlinedotcom

  • getting a ball into a coffee cup, please, who's this guy trying to kid... a tea cup on the other hand....

  • Wow... Wouldn't make a half bad bartender!

  • You mean like a flair bartender, as Britain's Got Talent pair "the Bar Wizards" coined the phrase?

  • I believe that if you catch a club at the wrong hand it is actually more difficult to think quickly and correct the club on the next throw! Well done Anthony!!

  • Yes it is.

    Good thing that Anthony is very good at not catching it at the wrong end.

  • What are "Pinkys" (juggling balls)?? Arnt they the pink colored MX1??

  • pinkys are little pink bounce balls that you can find at toy stores. they arent meant for juggling but work fine.

  • Kind of, but Anthony is almost the only person that uses Pinkys, cause he is the only one that likes them.

  • I saw him catch one club in the wrong end once! And they say he never miss...

  • At times like this we must remember nobody's perfect, & that he still has the high standards that make him world-class!

  • 4:00!!! o_o

  • I saw Kooza in Atlanta on Feb 15th....this performance was the best juggling I have ever seen! He is amazing!

  • What sort of Juggling Balls is Anthony Gatto using on stage in his show?? I know he uses MX1 for practice.. Anyone know??

  • I think anthony uses pinkys in practice, and Renegade or Dubé stage balls. but Im not sure

  • I saw Anthony perform in Kooza last year with my folks in San Francisco. By far the most incredible performance I've seen to this day. Mesmerizing.

  • oooooooooooo me too! i was V I P! the backstage lounge 5 stars! plus we got little gift bags with juggling balls! they are great too! the best i've ever used!

  • i don´t like curces clown jugglers

    but he proves what juggling realy is

    he is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I saw Kooza last saterday in Atl. but I didn't get to see this.

    hmm...

  • The one I saw on Friday in Atl didn't have the juggler!!!!!!! wtf

  • Unfortunately the artists do get sick and/or injured and are not able to perform every show. I myself find it annoying if there is an act absent in any Cirque show I go see but sometimes its just inevitable.

  • I wonder how hard it is to clean that suit of his, like if it rusts or tarnishes?

  • I saw the show last night, Friday, February 6th. I did the Tapis Rouge thing and the whole experience created a "best thing ever" sort of day. I went to see Anthony Gatto. His juggling was flawless and the rest of the performances were almost all flawless.

    If you get the chance, go see Kooza.

    Do the Tapis Rouge thing if you can. It really isn't worth the extra money but it was fun. It added great food, open bar with no tips accepted. You also get the closest parking.

  • In the past he would just be one more juggler, now hi's the best, I agree!!.

  • I had very good tickets in front section, I went on Jan 14th. Didn't get any souvenirs or anything. Tried to get a photo with Gatto with no success :( Maybe another time. Seeing him perform was well worth it!

  • Saw him last week in ATL - flawless and amazing!!

  • Me too. When i walked through the blue and yellow flaps my life was changed forever!

  • Well, I've seen Varekai before and I saw someone juggling in that as well. He was okay, but when I saw Anthony juggle, it felt like I was doing the juggling.

  • sure his juggling was good, but i think it threw some of the energy off of the rest of the show.

  • saw him peform in Kooza/Atlanta, amazing. great to see him up close.

  • i saw it yesterday he is so good at this

  • I'm going to see it tomorrow and I must admit, he's really good.

  • i saw it last night , fuckin amazing

  • you have to remember that this is the press conference - so ist shortened and mixed up,.

  • im not so keen on the clothing,

    but gatto is unbelieveable

  • why does it need sense and idea?

    Enjoy the juggling.

  • Becouse after 1 minute juggling, i want sleep. Look Ivan Pecel juggling. Verry entartaining.

  • Let me also say that it gets better as the movie goes in my opinion

  • Wow great stuff as usual. Skill galore

  • holy shit that was awesome juggling... AND THAT BASS!!! HOLY CRAP THAT BASS PLAYER OWNED!!!!!

  • F***ing amazing juggler!!!!!!!!!!!perfection is an understatement.

  • luv it <33333333

  • Nice makeup, and costum

  • I saw this show last night. The juggler is mind-blowingly fantastic.

  • The club juggling is my FaV<333

  • this was an amazing show. I saw it here in chicago yesterday!!!!! I cant believe this was the most flawless one! I love the pin juggling! my fav!!!!!!!! xox -Beca

  • the "pins" are called CLUBS!!!!!

  • @Microcebus1 What? People need THAT explaining to them?

    F'd-up is our universe.

  • clubs not pins!!!!!!!!!

  • argh so what...

  • the contorhinist were first instead of the juggler

  • This is the press conference, so they choose a few acts to present, and contortion isn't in it.

  • OMG :O I can't believe what I'm seeing here 0_o

  • So I've watched this 15 times at least, and still it's as entertaining as the first time I saw it.

  • why doesn't gatto compete in the WJF??

  • because he stopped competing after he one the gold at the cirque de monte carlo. Thats what he said anyway.

  • so its like a, im to good so id win anyway so it wouldnt be a competition for me, kind of thing?

  • I just don't think he's really interested in that at this point in time. I also Think that Gatto thinks Juggling has more too it than just raw technical skill, so he's not interested in competing a competition that judges strictly on that piece of it. Some of this is just speculation however. I believe somewhere online their is a letter From Mr. Garfield to Mr. Gatto, where Gatto then replies, basically saying that his competing days are over.

  • Some say he doesn't compete because he thinks he might lose, and does not want to risk that option. I believe he would win though. But again, Part of what I like so much about gatto is although he has the utmost technical skill, he is also a great performer. he doesn't just stand there and juggle.

  • That must be a joke. In a technical competition no one wold stand much of a chance at all as far as running patterns, even Vova or Dietz.

  • Hallo oentid,

    Anthony has made a funny video about juggling competitions. Here you can watch it:

    watch?v=TUbfA-XS8D4

    and get some impressions why he does not compete in WJF.

    ;)

  • thank you very much

  • Hes good, hes the best in the world but hes performance here is somewhat repedative,even if no other man can do it, the audience wants to see something new, he just uses the same tricks over and over again, as he usually does

  • I disagree with chinchinninjin. I understand that Varekai and others have a serious story and plotline, but remember that Cirque Du Soleil is also a CIRCUS. All the KOOZA creators were trying to do was bring a little fun back in to the act, make people have a good time. I watched this in San Jose and it was a brilliant act!

  • I saw Kooza in Hartford, and they didn't even have this juggling act.

  • Hi Melayy ,

    I worked fo them through out the month they were in Hartford and i must say the juggling act was not present only one day through out their performances and i feel bad it had to be that specific day for you, but anyway here is the full version of it i Hope you enjoyed the show anyway. Take care !

  • yes yes. clap clap for the juggler BUT does anyone else notice that this act has very little, if any, affiliation to the story?

    i agree with everyone that this act is outstanding even for cirque. However unlike shows like Varekai and Dralion, this act seriously has no connecting to the show. It seems to me to be a pointless act of skill, something i think cirque should elaborate less on and give more attention to portraying a worthwhile STORY using the breathtaking TALENTS of the peformers.

  • any opinions on la nouba? it the only one i know well, but the story often has nothing to do with performance

  • La Nouba like 'Mystere' is largely an mix of previous shows collaborated together into one new show with new meanings behind the acts.

    In La Nouba, the highly energetic acts such as the BMX bikes and power track are a symbol for the 'cirques' (circus people) whilst other acts are meant to represent the urban people. This is a common trait amongst cirque du soleil where the metaphorical acts are closely linked to the story.

  • nice, thanks.. I must check out some of the other shows..

  • He has absolute total control over anything he juggles.

  • 9 rings!!!

  • 7 ring breakdown. alright

  • YEA ITS BEAUTIFUL

  • hey thanks 4 putiong this on!

  • this is for sure the best juggling act cirque ever did, I've seen five cirque shows and the jugglers get better and better each new show

  • Well anthony gatto is THE undisputed BEST juggler in the world.

  • vova With Clubs kthanks

  • Omg lol freakng amazing!!

  • More than amazing..

  • holy freaking shit. are u kidding me? he's beyond perfect.

  • Good?? he's the best in the world!

  • Good?? he's the best in the world!

  • Gatto freaking rocks.

  • Best juggler in the world.

  • My mind has officially been blown. Now I have to get a new brain transplanted, and I'm sending the bill to Gatto! Effin amazing!

  • his name is anthony gatto

  • how old id the girl in the dress?

  • os caras e muito fera

  • awsome job best cicrus ever

  • anthony gatto, the best juggler in the world... awesome...

  • amazing

  • Did you know the costume designer thought the juggler might blind himself with the dazzling bright mirrored squares on his costume!

  • Pourquoi on apelle le cirque du soleil du cirque moderne?

  • Quidam, Alegria, Varekai.

    Parce que ils ont shows 's apeller Quidam, Alegria, Varekai etc. Search for them

  • he's one hell of a juggler

  • i could watch this 100 times!

  • espetacular

  • how i love this act

  • Gatto is the MAN!!!

  • estee es el mejor del mundo ( dicen para mi tambien ) es el estubo en tinelli hacia las mismas cosas

  • El circo del sol... como en todos los espectaculos que van por el mundo... ¡impresinonante¡¡, pero este malabarista... de lo mejorcito.

  • es asombroso O.O

  • where does gatto get those crazy head balancing props???

  • Dont know why Anthony allowed soleil to put him in that outfit...guess the moneys good!

  • i'd say would be an accurate guess. he's a professional.

  • I have to say, without the suit he'd just be incredible, but with the suit he's like a super - incredible juggling man from the moon. The suit is an important part of the show in my opinion.

  • chrisrocks 25 is the most retarted person i have ever seen

  • Man, what pressure. What happens if you mess up? Theres no way I could do this without cracking.

  • really loved his 3 club routine

  • hmm, i think he should have done more with the seven balls, but apart from that a very good performance

  • I think thet antony is most better then thomas dietz!!sorry for my english..

  • u ppl seem to know a lot about this, i was wondering if viktor kee is considered far less of skilled juggeler as clearly he involves dance instead. and also when was anthony in cirque becuase i know viktor kee has left recently, was anthony in it before they had the dance/juggle routine??

  • moomoolikespeanuts: "i was wondering if viktor kee is considered far less of skilled juggeler"

    Viktor Kee is a great juggler, but measured on raw skill he is not considered to be on the level of Anthony Gatto. It is a matter of debate whether you can find a juggler who is better than Gatto in even one of the props of balls, rings or clubs.

  • I finally saw Anthony juggle 3 balls :D:D

  • he might be able to flash 9 clubs but i havent seen it in the records yet on wikipedia.

  • Yeah, but what would XahLee or WJF think of all that foot moving! He's dancing now like Alan Sulc. As for complaints here, nothing he does is easy, even the 5-ball is done with his own twist to it. He has borrowed a bit, like Vova's continuous drop kick-ups(he misses one) but no one will borrow his sync Trebla anytime soon. Great show, thanks for letting us see it.

  • errrr i think gatto could do the kick ups before vova was alive? so maybe not borrowed?

  • Actually, sync Treblas and Alberts were all over the IJA convention. Things go so fast! Anthony was not there to see, of course.

  • Anthony juggles three clubs with one foot.

  • the jugglers name is anthony?

  • Anthony Gatto

  • who is better than him?

  • Uh.... no.

  • thats simply untrue, gatto is, technically speaking, the best juggler in the world. no one is at a higher level and certainly no one is at a WAY higher level. He can do 9 balls but in a cirque show everything has to be perfect and he probably does not want to risk dropping even though he could do better

  • lol.  Anthony Gatto owns everyones face, without exception.

  • what other jugglers? this man does what he does in front of the public in some of the best shows in the world and makes good money. vova, dietz and the rest make videos for other jugglers to look at.not the same thing!

  • Funny joke

  • The guy is amazing and there is no juggler in the world even close to his skills. As far as I can see there is not juggler right now that has to potential to get to his level eiter.

  • la multinacional circo de soleil es una mierda ..paga una mierda a los artistas que viene de china y los de america y europa los trata como reyes ...y copia numeros y espectaculos de artistas independientes...antony gatto es el mejor pero prefiero a viktor kee y el nuevo circo ...como el cirque plume de francia...cirke de soleil mac donald la nike la misma mierda...viva nuevo circo independiente..original

  • the Best juggler from world..... Cirque du soleil is Amazing....
