144 people dont know what a cane is...

Unbelievable! Perfect timing on every move. Very tight. His feet hit the floor exactly on the beat. You don't see dancing like that anymore. Perfect 10! Forget that Dancing With the Stars junk.

The second time the camera follows him to the right after he stamps the cane on the ground. While he is to the right and the cane is off camera, a technician moves it over the hole where the jet of air sends it back up into his hand.

Actually, it is explained in the book Astaire Dancing...it is a jet of air that springs it up into his hand. The first time he kicks the cane away, you will notice that you hear a sound as it hits the wall stage right. He then comes towards the camera and picks up a cane that is previously placed there off camera while he is dancing (continued on next post).

He could give Yoda a run for his money.

@aryllia Hey, lowbrow stupidity has always been a hallmark of comedy. There was a song in 1939 called "H*tl*r Has Only Got One Ball". (I think YouTube isn't letting me post this comment without censoring it!)

I'll be damned if anyone can tap-dance better than him

@GuardMarcellus Wasn't so much astuteness as wondering how he did it and rewinding several times.

Seems like the entertainment quality was way better back in the days.
I have a theory that it has something to do with supply and demand. Back then it was hard to become visible so those who made it had to give their all. Nowadays there are so many scenes and media that you can find an audience no matter how mediocre your talent. Some idiot is bound to like you even if you do nothing but slur and jiggle your manboobs. (no offence to people with manboobs, of course)

Perfection.
I wonder how many takes were necessary.
And how does he DO THAT with his cane?
