No, it was working fine and I'm not a member, my guess was too many hits and it got pulled.
Let me see if I can find it again.

You can find his video on his website - just google chris bliss. I think the quality is a bit higher than the above link. But there is a response from a far superior technical juggler. Go to //www.lpbk.net/jugglemirror/ and download the dissbliss movie. While maybe not as entertaining for the non juggler, Jason Garfield sure rocks with his tricks. You will notice that he took the background audio right from Bliss' video. Garfield also has a commentary on the Chris Bliss phenomena on his website - jasongarfield.com.
I am a juggler myself and enjoyed both videos.

Funny you should mention Jason Garfield. He steals Chris's routine, even the original soundtrack from the performance and then has this on his site? Hackers
Sorry, don't have a lot of respect for that type of performer.

And yes,I know the hacker page is a "spoof" thing but still, the guy is a little too arrogant for my taste.

| Amazing video. But I also took the time to read Jason Garfield rambling on for paragraph after paragraph on why Chris Bliss sucks. That's a fine bit of writing by the President of the WJF. Very classy. I also like his FAQ where he discusses how much of an inspiration he is to himself. |

I agree - Garfield has a very arrogant persona. I have had one personal dealing with him that made me question whether or not he was truly like that minute by minute, but his stage presence can be overwhelming and a turnoff for sure. Now you can't really say that he stole the routine. If he had done the same tricks then yes. He mimics the routine for purposes of commentary and parody. I do not believe that you would see him performing this anywhere outside of the video clip he has online.
Attitude aside - one of the best technical jugglers in the world (outside of Gatto). Credit to Bliss for performing in a style (and well before that style became popular) that the younger jugglers of today use (Michael Karas in particular.) Again - both performancs were entertaining for different reasons. The look on Garfields face when kicking down to the multiplex 5 ball cascade is priceless. |

| Pretty coool!! I can do most of those throws but certainly NOT with that amount of switching around and the change in tempo must be a real pain to get used to! |

I can do ALL of the throws, it's just that I cannot do ANY of the catches :)

OK - Fair point :-) In that case I'm with you... |

What kills me I guess is that Chris Bliss will probably get a lot of people interested in juggling because he makes it look fun and easy, while Garfield will turn them away with his arrogant attitude and "I'm the God of the Juggling World" persona that he projects in his writing and parody. So what if Bliss's routine was simple? It was fun and entertaining. So I still ask, "HEY CLUBJUGGLE? Can you do this?"

That Jason Garfield rambling paragraph is too much. He's like a high school kid jealous of the other kid who gets more attention from girls.
He calls the "finale" the "finally" too. Maybe he is a high school kid after all? |
