Video Flagged Dead

Diabolos from Cirque du Soleil

Amazing young talent.

You know... I saw them perform this in San Jose once, and in one of the really high throws, where it involved a big toss, jump and tumble, and catch by the same person, they missed it on the first try. Now, they picked right back up again like a good performer, did the stunt again, and everything went great. (not knocking the performer at all - they are highly talented!)

I noticed something really amazing, though, and that was the band. They are playing live to all of this, and had a big drum and orchestra "hit" when the catch happened in the song. When she missed the catch, though, they didn't play it! Somehow, in the quarter-second they had, the noticed she didn't make it and kept on playing the theme they were on, looped back 16 bars or so, and played it again for her! All perfectly seamless!

I know some of the musicians couldn't see the action, either, so it was all though the conductor. It was really amazing to watch. I've seen a lot of really good musicians, but this live "catch and correct" they did was incredible.
