Tom is amazing and way more experienced than i am, but you can tell the difference between Tom now and Tom back whenever this clip was recorded. He doesn't seem as confident or as smooth here compared to now, even though from a technical standpoint he's still throwing some pretty high difficulty moves here.
Yeah, but 5 minutes for two cocktails?! If I see that guy behind the bar, I'm ordering a beer and a shot. All joking aside, awesome routine. Tom's got some serious skills.
Meanwhile, the customer has already slid 5 feet down the bar because he just wants a fucking drink, without having to sit through 5 minutes of the same 3 lame moves done over and over again.
Competitions destroyed flair bartending, too many big moves and not enough motion/art… Best performance in competitions was Nicholas St. Jean in Las Vegas at the Carnival Court Bar… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wXkYicV8sfI.htmlsi=XZBHBjUR7TLw_dF2
