It's a medley of the last three songs from side two of The Beatles' Abbey Road. "Golden Slumbers," "Carry that Weight" and "The End."

Thanks X,

I´ve actually tried to convince Chris to get back into juggling full time but he enjoys the comedian/writer/speaker circuit better. I love his routine. Some serious sports jugglers hate the hype it has received though.

It's darn musical, that's what it is. Watched a recreation of the routine by some other guy where he added two extra balls. This other guy was obviously doing a more difficult (technically) routine, but he couldn't compare to the original in terms of musicality and stage presence. If you know him FUD, please tell him he rocks from a random Norwegian you met online. :D

I'm guessing you're talking about Jason Garfield's "Diss this Bliss", a comical parody of Chris Bliss' routine. I've never met Jason personally, he's heavy into satire and that's not my cup-o-tea. He's done great things in as far as getting Jugging recognized as a sport and not a clown trick, though.

Some of Jason's material is heavily anti-religious. Additionally his routines excessivly belittle and degrade other performers and I don't care for that type of humor. For these reasons I avoid his shows and competitions. Jason's one of the top 5 jugglers in the world though IMO.

His routine is not nearly as good as Chris' and that guy's 'tude is all messed up. Accomplished as you say, but argues that juggling is an art and then disses dudes with more artistic skill if less technical capacity. Not my idea of a good time either. He may know about skill but his performance needs work.
