History Bit: I got very lucky, and won the RIT 3 Ball Blind in about 1995 or '96. My winning run was only about 30 seconds! I don't actually remember, but it was just a straight up cascade - nothing remotely close to this kind of variation and times. Astounding stuff!
Your technique is so tight and clean, no wonder you can do this with your eyes closed! Your juggling is masterful! A true pleasure to watch. It's clear through this video how much time you've spent to hone your skill. You've inspired me to clean my technique up. And I might start going for a blind five ball flash, it looks pretty gratifying! What camera are you using, by the way? The picture looks pretty amazing.
Tazzlyn Thanks for the kind words! I'm using a Panasonic HC-V750, which I'm really happy with. It shoots in 1080p at 60 fps, and can go up to 120 fps (without sound). It also has pretty good low-light sensitivity.
Satwinder Setia Thank you! Some of it was surprisingly natural (blind inverted box) and some of it was soul-crushingly frustrating to practise (blind behind the neck throws). I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Cool ! you are exceptionally talented. I have been promoting juggling in India though my startup - www.jugindia.in We are far behind in juggling arena compare to west. I am trying to make people catchup here...:-)
Wow, Mike. Unbelievable. So, if we ever have a "Simon Says 3 Ball Blind" at our festival, we know who would win. You might actually be the only one competing! Cool stuff.
Lots of fast juggling increased the feeling of connectedness between my hands. Then I practiced blind a few minutes a day for a couple months, and bam!
I don't think there's a combination of factors that would convince someone sufficiently skeptical. Some factors that one might find convincing: there are no visible corrections except based on touch, there is no enticing external motivation to make this video, I'd beaten the world record for blind juggling at live events in a single attempt (searching my channel for "blind" will get you a handful of these), and the patterns in this video are far below the technical level of my other (sighted) videos. There are also some occasions when I make in-hand corrections that I probably wouldn't have had to make if I were sighted though this (1:13, watching my left hand, for example). The pattern at 1:22 is blind pretty much regardless of whether my eyes are open or not, so it would also be strange to get to that level of blind skill and then fake the rest of the video.
Me : try everyday to do an inverted box and never get it right
*Mike literally doing it eyes closed* : 0:44
That inverted box is already impossible and u did it without sight. You are a legend
You're phenomenal! I can't even begin to imagine how good you are with your eyes open. I will practice this until I get it!

The frame rate specifically looked really great. Thanks for the information!
Very inspiring, sub.
asdfghjkl Emily didn't say Simon Says for the finishing move, and neither of us noticed! Video ruined.
Wow beyond solid, and excellent Simon says player, except for the last squeeze ending ahah
no look juggling vs my no juggling look
That's way too good. Wow! I'm trying that too and know how difficult that is.
man you nailed it
Pretty impressive!
Wow! Amazing, splendid...You must have practiced months and months to reach at this level. Stupendo. This is taking juggling to absolute new level.

+jugglecrzy Thanks! Sorry we can't make it out this year, hopefully we'll be back next year.
How to learn that?
Lots of fast juggling increased the feeling of connectedness between my hands. Then I practiced blind a few minutes a day for a couple months, and bam!
I didnt know that was possible
hello, thanks for the video, where can I buy these balls? I'm from Austria😁
They're called Drop Props, but they stopped making beanbags about 7 years ago :(
@@artifaxiom OK thanks🖐
This is incredibly impressive, do you do anything with clubs while closing eyes?
I can do...a cascade. I'm not much of a club juggler!
"You use in "Drop Props" Underfilled in size 2.75?
eyal sinelnikov They're the standard size, standard fill. I don't know the diameter off hand, but 2.75'' sounds right.

How do we know you're not just squinting?
