I'm not normally a fan of juggling but...

The guy apparently draws a lot of flak from the juggling community. Apparently what he does isn't actually very difficult on the technical level and it pisses off professional jugglers when people ask them to do something like this guys act.

Or so I'm told. When I first saw this video a few months ago it was in a long blog post somewhere laying out the controversy surrounding him (he is primarily a comedian).

But to me that is like bitching that ice dancing sucks because it isn't as technically difficult as Sasha Cohen's long program (when in fact, it sucks because it is ice dancing).

I've seen a couple of Cirque juggling acts that could kick this guy's ass.

I would have to agree with you there! Viktor Kee comes to mind as an amazing juggler for me. He was the most fun to watch. He even participated in a juggling festival here in the NW.

I love to watch most juggling though. I think it's because I couldn't juggle to save my life
