Cirque du Soleil - KOOZA - Pickpocket Clown act

[operalist]

I love this from Cirque!

[54fer0978]

this guy is hella good! i love this one the most of cirque du soleil! i saw it when it first came out in 2007

[dapurpleowl]

He's got an epic laugh!!

[imimaginingchaos]

LAWL. there's a dude i'd trust with my life....

[casablancaaccent]

THe first time i went to kooza, i felt embarassed for the guy when the pickpocket pulled out the viagra. But im glad to know that was a running joke at each performance!!!

[yanksoxable]

I wouldn't want to be standing next to him in the NYC subway! LOL! I've watched this over and over and can only see about two times that he picks the pocket of the audience member. He is really the master!

[truls1ify]

It's a real spectator from the audience. I know because I've seen the show so many times and I love it.

[LisaMarie216]

I just love how Cirque du Soleil adds the group into their performances by welcoming someone onto the stage. They did that in "O" but it turned up to be a performer hidden as a Audience Member. ^^ But anyway I'm glad they like to interact with the audience during the performance.

[puppysrox101]

omg that was soooo funny.....ROFL!!!!

[PirateMonkeyFilmz]

viagra!!! XD

[carlosaolonsomayo]

[DarkWing121]

[spaceye]

[ritsfata]

You can totally tell that this guy is having a great time. I mean, they all do but this guy seems like he's having the time of his life. THIS IS HILARIOUS LOVE IT!

[moviesrule23]

[Aurone]

Saw this in Portland, the guy was right next to me when he was jumping up and downin the audiance screaming "You can't catch me!"

[Lassielurv]

[ritsfata]

[Penguinproductions97]

lololol

[berni1602]

que payaso tan más genial, se me hace que antes era uno de esos ladrones que le quitan todo a la gente y cuando salió de prisión el cirque lo contrató para esto XD

[Reneinternacional]

@berni1602 No seas pendejo, sabes cuanto tiempo se necesita para poder hacer esto en forma artística, no tienes ni idea.

[berni1602]

@Reneinternacional a mi no me dices pendejo. Obviamente se que no es cierto, por ello lo puse en forma de ironía. Te apuesto a que se más del cirque que tu y obviamente no dejan entrar a cualquira. Asi que abre tu mente y busca en un diccionario el significado de humor te perece?

[Reneinternacional]

@berni1602 Ya es tarde mediocre, quedaste mal por darte a vivo, no creo que sepas más, primero, si así fuera no hubieras sido tan pendejo en decir eso, segundo, si asi fuera, no tendrías necesidad de decirlo.

[berni1602]

@Reneinternacional di lo que quieras, yo estoy seguro de lo que dije, y no me va a afectar lo que me digas, porque mientras yo sepa lo que soy y lo que no soy no cambiarás mi idea. Piensa todo lo que quieras, tu serás el que quede marcado como un buscapleitos y luego te olvidarán. Siempre es asi, todos quieren sus 5 minutos de fama. Felicidades, ya los conseguiste. ;)

[PirateMonkeyFilmz]

i even got your viagra!

i wonder how many times that happened!

[FurubaDramaDeamon]

lol I just saw this today!! It was hilarious!!

[NuDrop]

That is my long time friend....LOL. He is a great comedian himself, so it was great to see the joke on him this time :-D. I'll see you in October Justin!

[AvatarSpyro]

Michael Halvarson = Awesome.

[cheezburgerz15]

I saw this in real life. It was hilarious!

[SicKnight13]

this act is pure genious

[yerico11]

Found this on Twitter. @M_Halvarson

[mattiaflip85]

=O) loved it!

[quieronovia]

I would like to know what the spectator thought and felt throughout the act.

[ritsfata]

I saw this show twice, the second time the audience member was really annoying. He was trying to be cute but he FAILED!!!

[yerico11]

I must say I love Michael Halvarson...my favourite Cirque du Soleil performer

[ZachNeiman]

Favorite actually, there is not a letter "U" in the word Favorite.

It even has the word below the video.

[thewisefool]

Favourite is the British English spelling while favorite is used in American English. In regions which typically use British English the "word below the video" actually reads "Favourite". Just thought you should know because from the perspective of anybody from these areas you look a bit foolish because your comment has the same problem to us as the original comment had to you.

[BenNickproductions]

he' soo good

[52skulls]

Omg i was at this on this day. It was great i loved it. Very graceful act

[coleapolis]

I was at this exact show, It was in minneapolis. I remember the justin guy haha.

[nevemer]

vraiment impressionnant...à la limite du possible^^

[0megamanX]

If he were a D&D character he would have like, 20 ranks in sleight of hand.

[clubby9806]

no i was at kooza the other day, and its just a pretty funny prop. everything they do is in good humor. people who know what it is laugh, the little kids dont bother asking because they're not having fun anyway :)

[jebusi]

omg this guy is awesome

[101moviegod]

how does he do the last trick with the police van?????

has anyone got any other videos of clowns in kooza???

yeh, and at 0:24, is he just stepping off the stage?? it looks like there is a lift which takes him down.

[midnightsandwichyum]

@101moviegod there's probably a hole in the stage and the innocent with the weird things in the back kinda distract you I'm guessing

[pablomalabarista]

hello video is very well

is kooza dvd?

if you have more chapters of dvd kooza please upload it to youtube

[gureisu4]

this is my favorite act too...but i saw one fo the first shows...so it was in french and he always yelled "attrape moi"

[blaine369]

ive seen Kooza twice, and i would do anything to see it again, The Pickpocket is one of my favorite characters

[YitKicksAss]

[MattyRasta]
