Pink Elephant Las Vegas ITIL Conference 2007 - Chris Bliss

[PMurray888]

@PatrickWideman I shouldn't talk about things I don't understand? Quite funny, since you obviously didn't understand my post before you replied to it. My post wasn't about skill. It was about Jason's claim that his video is about skill when it was really just a diss. And now I'll add one more thing. If a lot of jugglers truly hate Chris Bliss per your comment @travrosty, then they should spend more time looking at why Chris is so well liked and less on jealousy. Success speaks for itself here.

i havent been juggling for long, but i dont get why some people (jason garfield) insist on comparing cock sizes. its not about competition, and i dont think its fair for it to be made into one, and like many have already said, this is art. chris bliss is a creative genius.

[Cathonius]

Art... real art

[yauka123]

well his cool, but i would like to se something new... this is the same old juggling tricks... but i like him becouse his juggling to the music, but he should try something new...

[MrBrenius]

i can juggle while getting a Beej i think i win.

[Shawski5472]

I think Cjris rocks. He's all over Jason in the artistry department. I enjoyed his performance much more than Jasons. Two different catagories: one sport, one art.

[hairytennisball]

As stated previously..This is art, chris is original...not like all the other guys who post crap showing how many balls they can juggle..who cares..This is an artist.. at the top of his game..excellent!!

[PatrickWideman]

@hairytennisball People who actually know what the above video is care. I would actually agree you can almost classify this as an artistic thing, but Chris Bliss could have organized and perfected this routine in less than a month and it takes a few years to master juggling 7 balls. I've done what Chris Bliss does multiple times in the last year with multiple routines. I can't and am no where near juggling 7 balls. So why would I argue what I can do sucks and what I can't do is skillful?

[fecainelli]

jugglers, you're all like sporters nowadays.

chris bliss is an ARTIST, as every juggler should be.

someone "i don't know who" made it with 5 balls? so what? it sucks!

it was not art, like this performance of CB, it was only some guy juggling 5 balls...

jugglers, please be more like artists and less like sporters.

[plutos912]

just stop talking about juggling if you dont have a clue what it is. the 5 ball performance is a parodie by jason garfield btw.

chris bliss is a entertainer with balls like other with there freaking voice.

ppl like jason garfield are juggler, which compete in competions!

[PMurray888]

pluto912, that's a good point and exactly why it was stupid and rude for Jason to be comparing his performance to Chris'. Jason says he is simply showing "real skill" by comparing to Chris who never set out to show his own skill - he set out to ENTERTAIN - something Jason could take a clue from. Jason also isn't simply showing "real skill", otherwise "diss" wouldn't be in the title. So he lies too. Chris beats Jason easily on character alone and he's pretty darn good at juggling too.

[PatrickWideman]

@PMurray888 You really shouldn't talk about things you don't understand. I don't go to your place or work and tell you that your toilet scrubbing technique is skillful because I don't know about scrubbing toilets. Likewise, you should not post about what skillful juggling is because you don't know the first thing about it.

[fecainelli]

i do know what juggling is about.

i do tricks with 4 balls, clubs and i'm learning how to contact juggling.

and i do still find the 5 ball routine of jason very boring and CB very original and cool.

[PMurray888]

fecainelli, well said and I completely agree.

[PatrickWideman]

@fecainelli Comment fail.

[onemanhalfmachine]

That's right mate! Fuck the idiots, quite literally!!!

[travrosty]

i am waiting for people to say he sucks to post their video doing the same routine. i have seen exactly ZERO videos to date, ANYONE?

[onemanhalfmachine]

How about 'Chris Bliss Diss' by Jason Garfield?

[travrosty]

chris bliss is awesome, best juggler ever!!

if you think it is so primitive and it sucks, then post your video doing the exact same routine! lets see it einstein!!!

[PatrickWideman]

@travrosty This is probably the one comment out of all comments i've seen that shows why jugglers hate Chris Bliss. You saying he is the best juggler ever is like saying a basketball player is the best ever because you saw him make one shot and yet theres a guy on the other side of the court making halfcourt shots blinded, back to the goal, while playing with a paddle ball that you don't even look at before you make a claim like that and Chris Bliss definetly only has ONE shot.

[kcg5000]

Bliss is an entertainer. Not a pro juggler. Garfield et al can make fun of it, but its perfect, to the music, in front of hundreds of people.

[FlucsJuggling]

1. It's entertaining indeed! Maaan he sucks..

2. The only thing he changes when the music does is the juggling SPEED.

3. Everyone knowing the word "juggling" can perform this act dropless.

[kcg5000]

You couldnt do it. I know you think you can, but get of the couch.

I now the word juggling, and I cant do it. In fact my 4 year old cousin knows that word, but cant juggle for shit.

why do people hate on this vid? bliss=cool

garfeild=asshole

[onemanhalfmachine]

it's not 'people' who hate this video!

It's 'jugglers' who hate him!

Nieve 'people' find him entertaining.

Jugglers (who should know better!) find him tedious and boring!

[kcg5000]

jugglers hate him? Why? What has he ever done to your art? Except get on good morning america doing this act. At least he gets it out there. I do magic, I hate criss angel, but at least he is getting it out in the public's eye.

why would he be found tedious and boring?

I find this act very entertaining, as has everyone I have showed it to. And they know nothing about juggling. And I am not nieve/naive....

[onemanhalfmachine]

Magic, that's nice! but, then again I would probably find observing a few simple card tricks 'AMAZING' if I didn't know nothing about David Blaine, lmao!

Just like you with your knowledge of juggling!

I would recommend watching the video "26 years of Thomas Dietz", he is like the Tony Hawks of juggling! seriously, it's what jugglers find entertaining!

Why boring? it's the equilivent of what a clown would perform at a kid's party! - if that answers your question!

[kcg5000]

I dont give a fuck. You posted something to the effect of "no reply?", then deleted it later the same day. You thought about this shit for a fucking week.... get over it.

99.99% of regular people on the street would think this cool and well performed.

[PatrickWideman]

@kcg5000 I completely agree!.. They know nothing about juggling.

[fecainelli]

well, i am a juggler and i think bliss is great.

why, WHY don't you people who says this performance is shit do it for yourself and show it to all of us, just to prove that its so freaking easy.

:-)

[fecainelli]

i REALLY challenge you to repeat this performance of CB, tape it and show it here to prove that its sooo dam easy.

[Norwayjugg91]

Well, on this conference. The people asked him to do this show for them, not make a new one ^^

So dont say that he suck cause he does his job ;p

[juggliac]

I'd actually like this guy, if he did more than EXACTLY the same routine ALWAYS.

[lmak13]

i hope you are all joking....

[tehwoodcuter]

this juggling act sucks with its primitivity

[onemanhalfmachine]

yes, it is shit! he so exaggerates too.....

[Congest]

You'd think he'd at least try to juggle to a different song once in a while, just to freshen things up a bit.

[roconofx]

same poor routine... he sucks

[JimboWizbo]

I wonder if he knows any tricks other than those 3

[kcg5000]

I am only starting out, but I know there are more than three tricks..

[JimboWizbo]

Ah well he must be good then

[danmeakin]

he looks soooo miserable
