A simple idea, yet quite some craft and training in its execution, easy to understand even for children, no word necessary, no chance to offend someone, timeless comedic effect. That's how art works!
Bravo !!!! The great thing about watching a good mime is that it all feels like a close-up shot of the action. The edges just kind of blur in our field of vision kind of like the ropes behind the curtain. The attention is focused on that one balloon while your body does these tricks to keep us focused there. You use your tricks into fooling our minds into assuming that the rest of you is just struggling. Amazing! You're a true artist, man.
I don't even know if it's so much that. I just think it's more so, mimes aren't like a major rofl funny. They're the kind of funny that make you laugh your ass off on the inside, because you can't believe how amazing this guy is. I really enjoyed it, and I think the audience did too, especially if they laughed even a tad. Good work, seen better but still very good work. Loved when the balloon popped. Expected it, but still loved it.
Adding the balloon into the mime act was genius! The way that it stayed in place when it was "stuck" was perfect. You are very talented and I appreciate you posting this video. It really made me laugh and we all can use more of that. Mime on!
wow, look at your muscles when you "try" to push/pull the balloon, that's where the talent rests, so admirable. Your facial expression is splendid also.
I'm a magician and I've recently found an interest in mime. I may have to do something similar. the thing taht really draws me to mime is that it's like magic in the fact that it's about creating a world without limitations by forming your own reality. I think it was Marcel Marceau who said "the only limitation is your imagination."
Hi all. Just to say thanks everyone for the positive comments (and even the negative ones are pretty funny). Nowadays I have a bit of a stressy job so it's nice to have some positive feedback. Thanks again.

To do this kind of mime is easy. I tried it. I gave up after a while. You now have my full respect!
Bravo

This is a great example of pantomime. I use it when I am teaching my fifth graders about pantomime in drama class. Thank you. They love it!
You are absolutely amazing. All of those things you did looked soooo realistic. Keep on miming!
Great acting. That was hilarious. Wow, I really want to learn how to do it.
I love this routine :D
great work Curtis
Its such a good illusion. I wish there were more great mimes out there. I love this stuff.
this is amazing
i hope that you continued practicing now that you're 50 because that would be a very entertaining thing to do for your kids/grandkids
Well done! I can only fathom the amount of practice for that, being a fellow performer.

Damn

I know from experience that mime is not as easy as some people make it look and this guy is VERY good at it x

I'm pretty sure that act is really hard to do and needs lots and lots of practise before you get it right like you did, congrats, great vid!
