Two jugglers are doing the exact same routine, one with 3 balls, the other one with 5. One might think that the one with 5 balls will get the best reaction. But we are wrong.
Chris Bliss has done a nice juggling routine to a Beatles song. He truly connects to the song and his actions/tempo/mimics… perfectly match the music.
Chris Bliss :
Jason Garfield does the same routine with 5 balls. The technique is perfect and he does it with ease. And that's the problem. He doesn't connect to the song. He copied a choreography but is unable to reach his spectators on an emotional level. More technique, less presentation…
Jason Garfield :
Steve, obviously Jason’s upgrade copy of Chris Bliss’s routine is meant as a parody. The difference between the two seems to me is that Chris Bliss could move his audience to standig ovations equally well without using balls. Jason, however, is a juggler. I feel there is no need to say any more on the subject.
