      @@michaelwertzy9808 I'm legitimately confused as to the point you're trying to get across...not trying to talk down, but just in case I'll explain my previous comment. I responded to someone saying 'nice dress, sir'... Back when this aired it was clearly meant as a joke, i.e. a man wearing women's clothing... nowadays, however, people are so self-conscious and uptight especially when it comes to humor that people would hesitate to laugh at such a joke. While then it was a simple joke, society has changed to the point where now it's no longer a joke, but a progressive stance, hence the 'open-minded compliment'.
      Perhaps this was a simple miscommunication? I forgot about this comment, want tryna start any comment section flame wars, just a simple observational throwaway joke. I'm unsure of what you meant when you reverenced correctional officers. As I said before, your comment legitimately confused me, so if you wish to also provide some context and explain it a bit I'm willing to listen. I like arguing in the sense that people can share and defend their stances on certain ideas, but I like arguing so long as it doesn't become an argument, if that's clear? So, if you want to have a constructive dialogue, I'm open. If I'm over explaining, I apologize. I'm just willing to defend and explain my actions and stances, something that it seems many people don't really do anymore. I'm sorry if this came across as patronizing, wasn't my intention. And I have a tendency to ramble/write-as-I-go (thanks ADD), so forgive my long-form essay. I'm working on trying to be more succinct because I know blocks of texts scare people away. If you choose to respond, great, if not, same sentiment.
      Peace!

      I juggle quite a lot, and I think the tight behind-the-back throws were fundamentally more difficult than juggling the egg, apple and bowling ball in a basic cascade pattern.
      However, tracking what is in what hand for the various bites is indeed quite difficult. Although he almost certainly has the same pattern each time, so it might be muscle memory.

    The entire set leading up to the final trick was not just hilarious in its own right, it also served to subtly persuade me that maybe he's just a comedian and can't actually juggle that well. So when he did pull it off, it was that much more impressive.

    I remember seeing this years ago. I'm so old I don't know whether it was on RUclips or he done the same act over here on the Paul Daniels show? I think probably the latter of the two. I'm so glad I found this. It warms my heart to see people entertaining others with skills and abilities that aren't that common and he does it with such style and humour. If you pay close attention he hardly juggles at all.
