It's good, but I think it goes TOO fast. There are many sequences here that could be beautiful to watch if you could tell what was supposed to be happening.

Yes, I agree it was fast. But, I thought that added to the amazement of how cool it was. I didn't want to look away because I thought I was going to miss something.

The performer is obviously very technically skilled, but I share Chris Stolz's opinion that the performance was too fast, which in my view produced negative (versus positive) tension and confusion. Some of the manipulations with one ball were so fast that they were downright silly.

Try watching the video with no sound, and focus on the face and body language of the performer.

I thought this was a fantastic routine! Loved his facial expressions, movement, stage presence, etc...

My only bit of critisism would be that it is a bit long...Some effects are repeated unnecessarily and could be eliminated, thus, streamlining what is a great example of Billard Ball Manip!
