@@ThadCastled117 Those aren't the same at all... playing dumb in a conversation is an intuitive act, its not even a skill. Whereas there is a HUGE difference in having the skill to ride a unicycle properly, and having the skill to deliberately fling your center of gravity to extreme angles while maintaining full control of your balance. It is not "actually pretty easy to do", not in the slightest. Just imagine in terms of bicycles, it takes us a couple days to learn how to ride a bike, but far longer to have the skill to turn at extreme angles. This is all due to a huge difference in center of gravity.
it was only after watching one of his other shows doing this same routine that i realised that most of the supposed mistakes are actually part of his act. its as much comedy as juggling and i fucking love it.
Very smart act:If you drop a few intentionally, we never know if there are any mistakes. Not always succeeding makes the audience watch more closely. Present yourself in such a way that the audience wants you to do well. Be so good that people praise you for how well you can look bad. Laugh like you mean it.
I've always considered juggling to be an impressive, if pointless and rather boring skill but Frank has elevated it to a brilliant and hilarious standalone act. It's his personality and the constant engagement with the audience. If he succeeds with a trick then it's impressive. If he fails, intentionally or otherwise, he makes us laugh with an amusing one-liner. Excellent stuff!
This act got a lot of mileage for him, I just saw this close to verbatim from (supposedly) 1988! Met and juggled with Frank at a convention in '04, he was grizzled but still a guy that just made you feel good to be around. Also was either champ or runner-up of five-ball endurance at fest. Thanks for uploading!
@@FunnyFrank Oh damn! Hi Frank! IIRC the additional bits here are the coat, 5b start, floppy machete, and tutu, but I haven't seen the other video in a bit. This is James Chance, who was with Dave Clay at whichever convention that was. Would have been Humboldt or Coeur D'Alene. You were one of the highlights of that convention for me, I remember that much : ) At the time I had no idea who anyone was or their history, but it's been awesome discovering some of the people I met so many years ago were accomplished and storied performers. Thanks for saying hello!
Occurrences Your first sentence sounds negative, I've watched him twice now on RUclips 10 yrs apart, same bumbling juggler theme, lot of new content in the second one. Comedy is changing, if The Amazing Johnathon didn't come out and go, "You sir, in the back, do you have a handkerchief? ... then go like this [rubs bottom of nose] there's something hanging from the bottom of your nose." I wouldn't know who I was seeing. He's started his act with that same joke for 23 years I've been watching him, and it still gets mega laughs.
@@happydays8171 Let me draw a distinction for you: "This person always does the same thing."(Implied: is uncreative and/or boring, uses period) "This act got a lot of mileage for him!" (Implied: is a good act and/or respectable, uses exclamation mark) Not sure where you're coming from or why you'd chime in on my comment multiple times rather than make your own; as a technical juggler of 15 years and more to the point a person of good humor, I have nothing but appreciation for Mr. Olivier. Jury's still out on you though.
Well I hope to made you keep laughing more in the future. Subscribe!

Awesome and charming with the failures... Because the normal audience wouldn't be able to perform not even close to that act! Thumbs up from someone who can't even juggling 3 balls continuously for more then 5 seconds 😊 Greetings from Taiwan
@@cringeyusername7459 that's what I was going off of. Like when he dropped the ball trying to catch it on the back of his neck. Usually he catches it the first time.
I don't think people realize how talented this guy is to engage with the audience basically doing a stand up comedy act, mixed in with amazing juggling skills whilst deliberately being clumsy all at the same time.. I've seen his earlier years and it's amazing what all he can do, this video does it no justice. I encourage anyone to check more of his acts out on youtube.
28k views and only 500 likes? Takes a lot to impress people apparently! Show people the right way to juggle their phone, laptop, and chargers - there's probably some good "accidental drop" bits for that one! Way scarier than knives!

It blows my mind that this guys can look so deliberately unbalanced. Insane
Plot twist : he is imbalanced
It's actually pretty easy to do. Deliberately looking clumsy is as easy as acting/playing dumb in a conversation.

I love how he is laughing with the audience... Genius
Every time I feel sad at work I think "THE HELICOPTER"

The best trick here is that RUclips finally recommended something amazing to me.
I started this vid like "wtf this guy is a spaz and a weirdo" but 15 mins in and I love the character! This is way to good for youtube..
So true
really had to give his Charakter some time

Very funny Frank. I noticed the new material in your act, very funny, I laughed uncontrollably. Thanks for all your work

He's a genius ! "The Lewinski" I'm still laughing. I wonder how many years did he need to master juggling this way. It's simply brilliant.
goddamn why is there no biographs about him? i wanna know more about him
Dude this is Dwight Schrute as a juggler.
Fun - Funny - and Family Friendly, Frank. A rare breed indeed.
Frank is amazingly talented and highly entertaining. I haven't seen anyone like him in all of juggling.
Between him and Mike Davis. Very entertaining.
Thanks Mike!
@@luxinveritate3365 Michael is one of my heroes and a friend. Lives about a half-hour away!
Thats awesome!
No, he's a joke theif.
Very nice person . Nice and intelligent
Thats so good

I don't think there was any actual failures here, this is just a well put together comedy routine
@@cringeyusername7459 nah he messed up a few times in this one
@@Wes-pq4pl have you watched his other performances? This is virtually identical. The "mistakes" are scripted for comedy.

Thanx for sharing!
Was thoroughly enjoying the show, so was a bit upset that it was abruptly truncated.
Expert: controlled failure
Michael Davis did it first
The lowinski
Everyone else here to see the helicopter
I'm here to see THE LEWINSKY
What happened to the end?!
Did he took his watch?
The problem is, he's so good at pretending to be annoying that it's... well, annoying.
WOW Frank, best I've seen, and the most unique! Dedication, and imagination at it's best!
he reminds me of the bug in men in black

Great juggling and patter.
Where is the ending?😢😢😢

simplesmente genial
