Wow, I know there is a lot of videos like this on the sift but this one was simply fantastic!

Very entertaining! Looks like it's from The Royal Variety Performance, back in the day.

When first watching the video I was wondering whether the guy throwing the apple was in on it. Now I have looked at a few more of Michael Davis' videos and therefore can say that yes the audience member is part of the act (see e.g. 3:25 of http://juggling.tv/566).

But what I also learned was that the bit where he says now I will do some fancy juggling for the experts where he loses a ball is unscripted, he doesn't mess it up at 3:20 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7VuA7tCINw.

Blimey, you're thorough!

I clapped and giggled "Yay!" like a doofus at the end bit. Great stuff.

wow! thanks for the flashback @luxury_pie! i saw him in the late 80's and he put on an excellent show.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Great Sift! It looks like Jimmy Carr took some timing and style tips from him.

LOL you see this was terrible but at the same time very good and quite amusing the art of good bad joke telling.

Man I haven't seen this guy in a while. Nice reminder Luxury_pie!

The bit at the end was obvious...but man, that made me LOL.
