The Best Juggler

[BullToTheShit]

What's the name of that music you hear while he's juggling? We've all heard it a million times.

[schimmlz]

@BullToTheShit Sabre Dance by Aram Khachaturian

[BullToTheShit]

Thanks so much schimmlz! :)

[kcg5000]

which one is the "impossible trick"? They all looked pretty tough..

[stubbedtoe9]

@kcg5000 2:11 to 2:18

[kcg5000]

@stubbedtoe9 thank you

[stockdreher]

@kcg5000 the so called impossible trick is the one he kicks one ball on top of the spinning ball -->balancing both on top of his finger

[mao0076]

damn this is fucking skill :)

[azvideoguy]

Like most audiences, they don't even clap at a few of the really HARD tricks, cuz they don't actually see the trick, their eye can't catch it, they clap at the ones their eyes can follow!

He was acrobat, dancer, and juggler extraordinaire!

[jawasweisich]

this exquesitly shows what is possible with a ball, some saltos and a very freakish attitude..

great!

[slidescroll]

speechless

[MarcysFS]

He's true father of FF, no Maradona

Respect for him, He was absolutely amazing

[atown5792]

He has some nasty soccer freestyling skills before alot of them were really popular. This is really cool.

[calimantis]

Absolutely amazing.

[chaltaro]

Year?

[conorscanloniscool]

1940 around

[jugglingmagician]

Fantastic! Now Thats ENTERTAINMENT!!!

[GermanSpast]

the real impossible trick

[AdrianKrogseterFS]

is this fake ? 0.o

[MasterTom1992]

master ;]

[jugglingmagician]

Get a clue dude...you must have no talent & are jealous!!!

[xlilxsux0rz]

This is just plain ridiculous.

[Snap3231]

No life guy

[andbruno]

Timeless humor.

[brossle1]

LEGEND

[rikyserra]

il migliore in assoluto

[angelegea]

Sincronaising mind body and soul, is the only way to travel thruw time and space, where the seconds never end, and the body becomes one more element of your props, he has shown the world the origins of thi art, for me Mr Brunn, is more than ajuggler.

[SamMalcolmFireDancer]

that was amazing

[bellamax23]

who is ronaldijo????

[jugglelulz]

one of the main reasons why i respect francis brunn is at 1:35

[diimexXxpiipe]

un crack

[ObjectManipulator55]

holy crap that dude beats the crap out of vova, jason and dietz combined

[StormSays]

YES!

[leothejuggler]

you cannot compare these jugglers with brunn.  they are good juggers but only that, good jugglers. Brunn is on another leval with his performance skill alone

[tachuelassss]

muy muy muy bueno es el verddero arte carajo

[schmam121]

Actually a damn fine footballer too by the looks of things. Bizarre.

[Blerencourt]

I had the pleasure to work with Francis at the Lido 1969/70 ,I will never forget this genius.... He was also a "mensch" M . Rios

[eduardlungu]

lol ronaldinho should learn.

[gimmagangster]

coooooooooooooooool

[gtkpaladin]

ballsickcrew, you are entitled you your opinion but it is only that, your opinion. They are both masters and in my humble opinion, I would say they are both fairly equall, they are both fantastic.

[ballsickcrew]

Not falla the best juggler at tha world call Enrico Rastelli, he is the most amazing juggle ever exist around the time´s, check him self.

Amazing is the God of jugglin

[AdyPole]

he was good but these two cannot be compared with each other, they have very different styles-youd be suprised!

[Juggler13]

the most original and best the world has ever seen to date. It is odd that he never physically juggles more than three balls, but the ten rings say he could definitely do so.

[AdyPole]

he juggled four with one bouncing atop his head :-)

[taochanter]

Damn! He was really good. HUGE RESPECT FOR ONE OF THE FIRST FREESTYLERS OF THE WORLD!

[anhkhoashevakt]

Damn! He was really good. HUGE RESPECT FOR ONE OF THE FIRST FREESTYLERS OF THE WORLD!

[mattio140]

yeh hes not so good, hes the second best, i can do all that with my eyes closed whilst hanging upside down drinking a cup of tea, hes not so good.

loool joking, he is the best ever, even though hes dead he is still the best, he cant be beaten as he just does so many things at one time. great multitasker,

i bet he was good, juggling doing his homework whislt building a new bed up when he was young lol.

awsome.

[enkidu23]

Francis Brunn is still one of a kind. And I love his work. There is a good compilated Video up of Enrico Rastelli. You´ll enjoy it:

watch?v=mowNKg1vhl8

He had crazy combinations too. For example the rope skipping thing at 1:30 and many other things. Take a look.

I think Brunn is inspired by Rastelli in his tricks with the mouth stick and in parts of his footwork, which does not mean that I would call one of them the "better" juggler. (would make no sense)

just enjoy.

[brucegalliver]

oh my god that was the most inventive, athletic, skillful, impressive routine i have ever seen!

[vardo5]

one of the masters of all time. ever. a different league. thanks for letting us all see.

[Jonathonhehu]

Best of history the is real skill!!

[Percussion888]

his body's like a strand of spaghetti

[RenanFreestyler]

God of football

[ilovefreestyle]

Excellent stuff !

[clavijo]

THE BEST OF HISTORY

[goedzomenno]

This man is so goood

[kristiankristof]

Sorry barking inn, but its just painfull to read your comments about Francis Brunn... The man is a legend and a revolutionary in juggling artistry, he has motivated generations of juggler to take the limits further. Today we might compare him with Anthony Gatto, but please don't even mention Mr. Bliss... Its like comparing Ricky Martin with Frank Sinatra.

[Diabolo88]

Great juggler. RIP.

[dgm2006]

I couldn't do the lady assistants part.

[rancid3000]

What really got me was the last part with the jumprope. It's already near impossible to juggle 3 balls and juggle a soccer ball back and fourth on your 2 feet at the same time. Doing all that while jumping rope is amazing.

[jimmyjug123]

Jackass is entertaining! Its still bullshit!

[dgm2006]

I'm sure Chris Bliss is listening to this stuff all the way to the bank. Is this the master strategy for wining the hearts and minds of viewers?

[Recce80]

bs? It is anything but bs,This is an inventor.Genious.

[well1howdy1doo]

a bit like comparing apples and zuchinni but very good,nonetheless.i notice there were edits to the routine as well.none with bliss-one take <:+)

[minimanofjuggling]

bliss could not do any of tat in 5 years: He's a FEY^!"£VF£Y@de! comedan!

[well1howdy1doo]

but bliss being better might be a point of conjecture-as an entertainer!

[mario22val]

5 years? Try a hundred.

[mario22val]

Edits? One take? You sure are a wise one! Francis Brunn did this every day of his life all over the world!!!

[well1howdy1doo]

it just appeared to me that this video had been edited prior to airing

[mario22val]

I think your brain has been edited!!

[well1howdy1doo]

wow,i just came to the realisation that you are the dancing fool

[mrjuggles]

Of course the video was edited, it was filmed with multiple cameras from different angles. This is from a performance on the Jack Benny show. Chris Bliss is not even comparable to Francis Brunn. Brunn was a master. Bliss juggles 3 balls to a Beatles song.

[well1howdy1doo]

but,i ask you, is bliss entertaining?

[bulldisky]

LOL :D That beats garfield as well ;)
