The Piano Juggler wishes you a merry chrismas

[dylan112233445]

its not fake at all period you cant set the piano to play a song idiot its called a BONCE PIANO for a reson and my dad is this guys friend so i know its real

[younghastings1066]

why isnt there any mic or power cable going to the piano? cos its fake!

[1989abauer]

Ok, this guy has had more practice than you guys even know. I can't believe that you would think this is fake. If you pay attention, you will see he is actually playing. His first public appearance was on the Carson show in December of 89. He is the real deal.

[killshot2247]

i wunder how he plays cod black ops poor controller

[therealsora12]

omg all you people who say it is fake it isnt, just because someone can do something you cant does not make it fake. the piano he made has wider keys so he can hit the right notes. this is possible with loads of practice...

[anonexperiment1263]

epid

[mizzharris]

impressive

[meldince]

"blah blah blah it's fake rage rage rage it's fake" guys it's just like videos about magic tricks.. so many ppl say "oh he's cheating it's not real magic" great... people getting angry cause someone's not doing real magic... and here not real music.. it's not real and then?

[Alexanderstreet101]

Its nooooooooooooooot fake.. trust me.. i no him.

[luhtoledo]

lie!

[luhtoledo]

its a truck!

[andersonw135]

FAKE ALL THE WAY LISTEN TO THE LOW NOTES AND LOOK AT WHERE HE THROWS THEM completely fake, those low notes are completely at the bottom. But its funny how it was actually on national tv xDD

[ollierodgers1]

SOOO FAAAKKEEE

[khonthekiller]

you got to think that hes still got to get the timing right

[hellomynameislololo]

if you look closely the keybord is one plate with parts of it colored to look like keys so it's just a pressure plate the plays a note when something hits it

[TheThunderstarter]

WTF!

[leosynomi]

don't want to be trolling but the video is fake because you can hear low notes when all the balls are at the top. the key board is programmed to play the right note whenever the ball hits the keyboard even if it doesn't touch the right one. the only impressive thing is that he is juggling, and the balls hit the keyboard at the right time.

[mysterybalalaikaman]

i hope that it is not fake. because as you can hear some notes are wrong. that means that melody is not programmed or maybe he's too smart ;)

[grr61594]

its not fake

[A550RGY]

I'd rather see someone attempt it genuinely, mistakes and all, then watch this piece of artifice.

[rok2ic]

Well, it's a special piano, that he created himself. I would not be surprised if somebody tells me that he made some adjustments on the piano to help his act, like changing position of notes or something. A lot of people do that. I know a guy who can play the guitar with his feet, but to do that he had to change the usual affination. All I'm saying is that everytime someone comes up with some incredible talent, everybody starts screaming "fake! fake!". It's amazing, anyway.

[godstheatreking12]

awesome! Im a keyboard major at a middle school of the arts and i cant play that fast. If he can play with balls, i better get practicing.

[sandrochatlos1]

time warp please!!!

[McMollyify]

Even if it is fake, it's still fun to think it's real. Haha ;)

[MultiLostFan]

Fake an Gay!

[Lonewolf1126]

For some reason I believe that he isn't entirely faking, but I'm pretty sure that he is only playing the bass part of the song.

[sims9287]

It's a touch sensitive recording. It's not that he's hitting the individual notes, it's that he's hitting the sensors to play the pre-recorded song. That's why the notes still sound low, even when he's playing on the high end of the instrument. Each time a ball hits, no matter where it lands on the pad, it signals the song to play. It's skilled timed juggling, but not skilled piano playing. The speed of the juggling dictates the speed of the song.

[GotDiabolo09]

cool

[Bankaiish]

chavez no jutsu...

[kaNNg1]

HOLY CRAP> WTF>

[clickclocks]

every time I see this guy he has less and less hair.

[MultiMattoo]

i love this guy

[gorillapod12]

the name of this man is ?

pleas said me

[schiggyi]

galileo :p

[MultiMattoo]

uh great one.

[legoarsch]

verrückt

[JacquelineFuhlroth]

What's his name?

[Maximax2801]

Supper

[ATZENJAUST]

thats crazy.. i have seen it at galileo in the german tv too.

[monkybot]

pro7

[Uschbernd]

Galileo

[funnykid356]

i saw him at an okc thunder halftime performance and he was a beast

[RoboTekno]

epic

[percytje666]

who cares if its fake?

there is still skill involved and its pretty entertaining

[bluffho]

He's an incredible entertainer and a wonderful juggler. Love him to pieces.

[midwest26]

If this is fake then why would he be called in to play on the show? There are alot of amazing things people can do than just this. You just don't want to believe it is real. There is another guy who does this and he is much faster. I have seen him in person.

[ecoots]

great juggler yes, and he still has to juggle in corrcect timing.

[masitcgitw]

You people are right. It's not "fake" he is juggling and the sound is coming out. However, anybody who could juggle throwing down could do the same thing. The keyboard is set with the song programmed and if any key is hit it plays the right note. Impressive juggling, not impressive playing.

[ParkerCourtneyCorbin]

At first i thought it was real, but now it does seem fake...me being a piano player, it doesn't look like he's hitting the right notes...

[XDKevinAndrewXD]

@masitcgitw stilll fun to wacth tho

[21unimaster]

@masitcgitw its not programmed hes actually playing it

[spiffyJ498]

@masitcgitw this makes a lot more sense

[tylerawsome3]

@masitcgitw fuck off moron who cares

[syruss877]

@masitcgitw i thought so, it would be immpossible to trow so many balls with such accuracy and timing.

[coop925]

@syruss877 *cough* thats what she said*cough*

[willrulz98]

@coop925 lol

[bajsbajsbajsify]

@masitcgitw And you know this how?

[milograamans]

I know I watched this last December - and studied it and was convinced that while the notes were being played the instant the ball hit the keyboard, the balls weren't hitting the correct notes - in other words the piano played the next note in the song when the ball hit it, regardless of what key the ball actually hit.

Now, watching it again, I can't figure out how I came to that conclusion... so I may have been wrong...

[grotehenkie]

Of course he made the keyboard himself, how else do you want to hit one (and only one) key with a ball bigger then it.

[sudokukid25]

i cant believe it took me three times to realize that its fake

[Agadimea]

geile sache

[AustgermienTrash]

hot!

[lobniklukas]

Awesome *_*

[AleaRose24]

this was in germany in a fake check at tv

[AndiBrot]

Erster xDD

[RenzoSmania]

galileo^^

[tellisMHS]

Its fake. His "invention" is programmed to play a not when it registers a hit. Yes, he's juggling the balls. No, he's not actually playing we wish you a merry Christmas.

[Halooverlord]

Would be nice if it was completely real. He has it made for timing. each time a ball hits the next note is struck however he cannot strike too many notes at once. I slowed the video down the balls hit more often than the notes play.

[MewMewgirle]

I saw him at the street festival, this is real, he spit a ball at me... oh well

[kaisky567]

LOL!!! he spit a ball at u? XD i'm so sry but that's funny

[Ropeng]

I see this guy in Cork, Ireland at the "Street Performance World Championship" and it was no fake!

He can play a lot of things whith his balls! ^^

Cool and very nice guy!

[sohaibik]

HOLY SHIT!

this is amazing!

[Hurrakeane]

Unreal so so good!!!!!! This is one of the best talents ever.

[forthemoment09]

i swear every1 who calls this fake is retarded,

the reason it sounds like there are 2 notes, is because, the piano (HIS INVENTION) has been designed to hold and fade the notes out after 2-3 secs

when hes is hitting about 4 notes a second, OH MY GOD, its sounds like more than 1 note is playin =O

[FourPalmedAces]

Jesus Christ, do you people watch the video?

He made the keyboard himself, or at least it is custom made.

[buntmaster82]

yea he also did it on halftame at the Bucks game

[theguru118]

He did it at half time at the Xaiver La Salle college basketball game today, it was so tight

[biggreenblob]

and it was also so fake.

[Arcanecide]

You're a moron.

[pippark]

if you hear the notes, there's both treble and bass, so we should see him throw balls to the right and to the left side on the keyboard... but it's all near the middle and the balls are very close to each other...it would sound more like choppy chopsticks (the best example I can come up with)....

[ATGEC]

it's hard to see but he is hitting low notes. it may not look like it but it is. watch closer

[forthemoment09]

either ur blind or ur screen sucks, cuz he is actually playing.

as for the "choppy chopsticks" listen at the start to a single note, he has it set to automatically hold the note for a second or 2

[OmonsterhunterO]

u guys r all made because u can't play the piano with your balls

[RagtimeJames]

Its fake because, he cant hit all them keys properly at the same time with balls like that there too big. it would hit in the middle of the keys, its a sequence piano.

[natorious94]

he said its his invention. He made it specialy for this. If he used some normal keybourd youd prolly be right

[69TinyT69]

If you listen, its his own invention. Meaning he made the keys bigger and the keys wont go in if its hit on the sides of it. Ive played that piano once, and it was "sequence"

[98565208]

this is 100% real..juz as wad kanjotrude mentioned..its broadcasted to the whole world(or the very least all those watching this show)..and right in front of the host and the live band u tink it can be fake..?

[98565208]

exactly kanjotrude, i totally agree with u..omg, those hu tink this is fake..omg, how ignorant..do u tink this can be fake in front of a live audience, with the host and live band so close around as well as the whole world(or the very least those hu r watching this show)..i mean there r other more bizzare acts like sword swallowing, so why not saying those ppl r actually swallowing swords with retractable blades or smth..this is 100% real, u juz nid hell lots of practice and TALENT

[organboi]

Oh no, are we really going to have another Chris Bliss unwarranted viral hysteria yet again? The juggling is called a five ball "force bounce," and one must hit the same relative spot for the pattern to work. I can do this basic move. I am also a pianist and know that these notes can never be played with this move. Yes, he hits the keyboard and the notes are coming out, BUT THEY ARE PROGRAMED in succession to do so. By moving slightly side to side he gives the impression he plays the notes.

[Markandme4ever]

I think part of it is real... but a lot is fake.

[samiam1432]

Really, the only part that's "real" is the juggling. Notice how only one ball will hit the piano, yet two notes are being played? It's just a computer trick.

[admiraalmaarten]

As a juggler i know this is not fake, i can't juggle like this (but hey, i can't play the piano either), but i sure know that something like this is possible.

If you can aim one ball at the time on the right spot you can do this with more balls.

Juggling is a system, once you understand the system it isn't too difficult. the rest is just aiming it at the right spot

[Oliveroo]

Incredible

[Skillz0r]

THIS IS NOT FAKE!! you know the game "Darts" its not fake either., they trow from 2 or 3 meters in a tiny 2 cm square.. he throws from about half a meter on a 8 cm² square

stop the "this is fake" why would he get famous with a fake act?

[toneojuggle]

idk if it's fake, but to answer your question, because it looks real.

[crazypiper99]

Well I can't say its completely real. Just listen when he plays the second version of the song. You can hear a bass line going the whole time but where the balls are actually hitting the keyboard there's no way he's actually hitting those notes because he's on the wrong end of the keyboard.

[bendikn]

its hes own invention, tard

[j0rdiyo]

omfg nice

[gbfreak87]

although it is only an act, i must say that is a very nice 5 ball bounce cascade.

this is fake people. but at least it's actually decent juggling.

[tdiscbetween]

just the fact that this man can juggle downwards is good enough for me ... if anyone thinks he is hitting keys on the floor piano get some specs (glasses)... however, i loved it,, he is so entertaining t

[Animefreak12321]

I'm a bit skeptic about how the one of the last notes was able to sustain because I didnt see a damper pedal.... It hints that there may be some sort of pressure activated midi player, but it looks very real, im not sure if its real.

[CrudeDude]

Fake, Menendez, and LOTS of people know it. ( Hurry, pull this comment)

[deltapilot19]

lol amazing

[hollywoodchick12]

AMAZING !!

[Boewe2]

Fantastic!

[bearcataquatic]

that guy is amazing!!!

[roygbiv330]

wonderful.

[152535251]

THIS IS FAKE BUT ITS COMEDY

[fedaz]

omfg, why is there always 1? its not fake hes famous for this, would someone really make it this far faking it all the way, would he really impress so many people by telling them to fake a cheer during the recording of his fake piano juggling? The answer your looking for is no, your right its not fake i apologize for being such a moron.

[multiz007]

not fake i was in audience. 100% real.

[lulu1dragon]

When I'm having a bad day...I atch this and I immediatly am in a good mood !!!!!

[Nitrosycho88]

"We know him, he was at our wedding last week. He's so talented it's amazing! He has a gorgeous wife, a 9 month old baby and a lot of friends! A life...he's got one!"

[YrNameHr]

here's someone named 'guitarkid' but he says this guy has no life! it's just a question of what thrills you. this guy chose a skill that makes him happy and performance is a rush. yeah, he's got a life alright.

[magicfreak44]
