hm.... i think jason garfield is missing the point. the reason why my jaw dropped at bliss's performance was not his stellar juggling (though 4 minutes with 3 balls and no resting/stopping is pretty impressive) -- it was the *timing*. bliss was timing his throws so that they accompanied the music perfectly. and garfield, in his hubris, decided that more had to be better, and was not nearly so jaw-dropping. not impressed, say i.

the ukranian, while physically very impressive, didn't so much give a juggling performance as an acrobatic performance with bits of juggling interspersed.
