In Case You Haven't Seen It

[FlexThis]

@Jorden - It has been my experience that crowds like things they can follow. For instance when you repeat a trick 2 or 3 times in a row followed by a one up of that trick, crowds can follow. ie. walk-over x3 followed by a hop over.

There are also tricks the crowd can follow and that wows them at the same time:

- Osis back to back makes people go WOW!
- Far legover set from clipper
- Double around the world
- Ducks & Spins

I think you covered most of these in your performance. Having your hands bound was also important because it forced the viewers to pay attention to the bag, since there was only 1 bag to follow most of the time.

I loved it in contrast to the other more kid friendly performance I had seen before this one. Hoping to learn that rope jumping trick to throw at the crowd.

Footbag technicality is definitely not important for this kind of performance. What's important is doing something pleasing to the eyes and not missing a beat.
i.e. what you would expect from any performer.

Major major ultra props for what you are doing Jorden.

Man, I've watched this a million times.
SOOO bloody brilliant. The chains for transition from juggling to hacky and then skiprope... flawless. Man. I can't even imagine how it could get better than this. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Also, yeah, the get-up, and the music, and the bad guy!
I agree that the lower level of play in exchange for great theme made for a better show. I don't really know my juggling, so that bit didn't impress me too much, but then the chains and hacky was such a perfect segway.

What was that other guy's deal? He was being such a dick while you were trying to have a session. You handled the situation well under the circumstances. Glad to see everything worked out and you got to play. Nice hat too!

Great work Jorden.

I really enjoyed your stage presence, the way you move and engage with the audience. That is something that a lot of people simply do not have or care to develop. The three ball juggling was good, and I expected that from you. What impressed me the most was the part of your act when you were in chains. I knew you would drop the ball from your head to your feet and eventually shred, but the way you transitioned from toe catches to full blown shredding was just incredible and well thought out. It was such a nice gradual progression from simple to complex and I think general audiences prefer it that way.

Thank you for sharing this.
