Juggler does 5-ball routine to Beatles' Golden Slumbers, bests peer

Jason Garfield, a juggler, has posted a video of himself juggling five balls in time with The Beatles' "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End." While he does a great job (you can hear his live audience going nuts a several points in the video), what makes this especially noteworthy is that it's a response to another juggler's routine that synched up with Golden Slumbers. A video of Chris Bliss juggling three balls to the song made the rounds a couple of weeks ago, prompting a lot of comment, both kudos and scorn. Penn "Penn and Teller" Jillette was pretty harsh about Bliss's performance on his FreeFM radio show/podcast, and Garfield's response is pretty amazing. Link

Update: Robotech Master sez, "There is applause on the audio track because Garfield STOLE THE AUDIO FROM CHRIS BLISS'S VIDEO, applause and all. This point is driven home by the bit right near the end where Garfield is aping Bliss's bowing and so forth and you're treated to a *video clip* from that video showing the audience and a stage in long-shot. I expect the point of this was so you could mentally compare what Garfield was doing to what Bliss was doing at the same point, but still."
