Contact Juggling balls like this are generally made out of Acryllic. It looks the same as glass or crystal but it doesn't shatter if you drop it. This guy is very good. Well done JCJC!
its not computer generated, the guy is just unbelievably good at contact juggling. Also the ball he's using is made of acrylic and is clear,giving the illusion that its staying still even when its spinning and moving.
This is just plain amazing to watch--I love the parts where he just suspends it in mid-air, making it look like it was just a soap-bubble, rather than a rather heavy glass ball...
He's using a clear acrylic ball. I've been contact juggling for a couple of years and I'm nothing compared to this guy. His control is amazing. Especially those isolation moves... Wish I could dot that X|!
What's funny is that the illusions where he's more or less just holding the ball and moving his hands seem cooler than the more difficult maneuvers like the body rolls and such.
I was just totally thinking of that! Yeah some guy stood behind him while filming under some cloth and did all the crazy juggling while it actually looks like David is doing it. Haha love that movie.
Those who practice contact juggling as a circus skill know that the orb is supposed to look like an orb of light that the person is not controlling, as much as working with. His isolations were pretty much perfect, which probably added to the effect for you.
The ball is made of really thin glass. This makes the ball light, and the centrifugal gravitational force won't affect it as much as it would a heavy ball.
That was awesome. No way around it. That takes serious coordination, practice, and skill. Plus, nice taste in music. Perfect ambience for some orb-rolling. I've seen orb dancers at electronica events (for instance, Detroit's Movement/DEMF)- this is most definitely real.
Give it UP! This guy is incredible! Such Talent! He's got to be a HIT wherever he goes! Mesmerizing - absolute! Thank you, thank you for posting! (Can he come to out party?)
loved it. makes the "ball" look so peaceful and beautiful. Great skill, great job. Different as hell "at least i havent seen this stuff earlier". Awesome
Have people seen the other videos about this stuff? It's real as hell. It's soooo cool-looking too. This dude is a beast. Otukaresama desita Okotanpe-san.
i've checked out other contact juggling vids and this guy blows 'em all away so far. the string trick is nice but his ability the keep the orb fixed as he moves around it...really well done. i'de pay to see that.
The ball is moving. When he makes it look like he slides his hands around it, he's actually holding on to it and rolling it in his hands. Also, it's transparent, so it looks like it isn't moving. It's all real, just a big optical illusion.
that was amazing!! i really didnt believe it at first...thinking the ball was added later by some computer graphics or something.. but even if he's cleverly holding onto the ball its still damn impressive
amazing! im the kinda guy that loves those small talents, that you are never going to use for anything serious in the future, like diabolo and stuff, and i have NEVER seen anything like that before! i love it!
We've all seen this before somewhere. So don't be crazy about it. I was excited after seeing this video, seeing what all you could do with one transparent ball. I decided that it was right up my alley. So I bought a few balls and have been practicing sometimes. No need to pick a moment or analyze anything. Just watch the video and keep you're negative comments to yourself. I seriously doubt the preformer posted the video, so why waste your time.
A possible explanation for the ball standing still: They could have edited each individual frame of the video so that the ball is in the same position in each frame.
Can you even comprehend the difficulty of performing what this man has done? Can you even understand, the sheer amount of hours put into practicing but one of these tricks? Can you fathom the precision required to control a ball to such a degree? Obviously not. "Is it even hard?" How about you purchase an acrylic and try a simple isolation, or even the Butterfly. Then ask "Is it even hard?".
