My friends were impressed when i showed them that i could juggle 3 golf balls...... I can never let them see this.
haha
Report this video.
Just had the exact same experience last night!
me tooo, the same experience!!! hahaha
Lol too funny 😂
I am concerned that this video will be lost on those who have never juggled. Like assuming golf is easy after watching 15 minutes of the Masters. What this man is doing is superhuman. It deserves more appreciation. Incredible.
Okay, golf is wayyyyy easier than this, at least to play, maybe not at an Arnold Palmer level, but wayyyy easier right?
@@somesinger1575 it depends on what u mean by playing golf, anyone technically can play golf but won't necessarily be any good
Perhaps only other jugglers can really appreciate this level of ability. Once it gets beyond five clubs for example who's counting?
Stephen Powell
Exactly. I count 😂 but I think many people just watch the things flying up into the air and think “wow cool!” without realizing how insanely hard that is
Agreed. Chin rolls with three clubs while balancing 1 club on his chin. That probably looked so simple. I heard that someone, don’t remember who, said the easiest trick that looks most impressive is balancing something very long on your chin. The hardest trick that looks least impressive balancing something short on your chin.
People have NO idea how hard this is. It is nearly impossible!
Who the fuck is "people", shithead? Everyone else but you, genius?
Yes because you are so good that you can see things people can't see, you can barely juggle 5 balls and think being the man of the game right ?
@@nairdazitro7460 his points are that non jugglers don't understand how difficult technical juggling is and that non jugglers don't realize they're watching the greatest juggler of all time. If you were triggered by his comment, then it either went way over your head, or you're way too sensitive, or you're a troll.
@@hjdhbcfjjb Im a juggler, and non jugglers can see how difficult it is, you don't need any knowlege like i don't need any knowledge to see that landing a quad cork 1080 on a snowboard is pretty difficult even if i don't snowboard
Nairda Zitro
The point was spending time juggling and learning harder props/patterns leads to a deeper understanding of the difficulty. The more you learn, the more you understand how difficult this is.
Each individual trick he performs is something most talented jugglers would attempt multiple times for a single clip, it’s honestly fucking insane that he can pull them off in succession for a live performance.
No if you learned it you can pull it off every time…but it will take you years to learn one trick…
@@katzenpfoten4330 You aren't a juggler are you? What you say here is nonsense. What @ethanbradberry5050 said is 100% true. Every trick has a probability of succeeding. Those that are highly practiced, can approach essentially 99++% of success. Some that are hard, are at 10% or less than 1%. And performing these tricks in front of an audience (as opposed to the relaxed atmosphere of one's practice pad) generally reduces your success rate by at least a half. So what Anthony Gatto is able to do here is insane. There is always a chance of a drop, even with a 3-ball cascade.
@@noone97531 I am a juggler and I performed with a team multiple times…I know that what he‘s doing is fucking insane and he is a one in a lifetime juggler but if you practice a trick to the point were you can confidently perform it live infront of a audience you can pull off the trick in most situations…He wouldn’t perform tricks that he can‘t do perfectly…I just said in my first comment that you can practice every trick to perfection…How good are you at juggling? I just want to know because maybe you have more experience and then I could maybe change my mind…(Sorry the last sentence probably didn’t make any sense because English is only my second language)🍀
The best juggler of all time probably forever
Gatto
Knowing how to juggle makes watching this even more amazing and discouraging at the same time 😂
The better I get at juggling the more I appreciate this.
@@TheImpressionist235 ????
Everyone of his tricks is a grand finale for other "world class acts" this is the Usain Bolt of juggling- a once-in-a-century talent.
sure, 90 percent is the work, but lots of great jugglers work as hard or harder. its that 10 percent of innate ability, a perfect storm of mental and physical ability, that gives a few people like Michael Jordans, Wayne Gretskys and Jackie Chans of the world a little edge over their competition. I have several Guinness Records in hula hooping, it wasnt all hard work, a lot is gift I was born with, then its up to me to make the most of it.
***** PWNED bitch!! well said Dizzy Hips ;)
no, he might be talented, he still has practiced more than any other juggler ever in total
on the other hand... maybe it's the shiny pants?
but on a serious note, practice IS talent. Practice and talent are part of the unfathomable abilities of some people to excel . The ability to practice so hard IS a talent in and of itself. But I doubt you or anyone cant actually quantify how much someone has practiced, let alone know who has practiced more. Thats just plan silly. when does practice even start or end? I consider kung fu and chi gong part of my hula hoop practice but really when you live and breath something EVERYTHING is training and practice for your art.
he could juggle 5 balls at 5 years old. I got lucky enough to see him in 1989 he was 16 years old and I watched him juggle seven torches for a show for the IJA convention.
Me and my buddy used to take breaks from the arcade to watch him juggle in his folks' smoke shop in the Chatham Mall. He's come a long way. Glad to see how successful he is!
@@davidbenkert1062 that is a cool story to hear from a totally different perspective. Thank you for that story. I actually got to meet him when he was 16.
I saw Anthony Gatto when he was 6 years old at the IJA, and he was already one of the best jugglers at the show at that young age. I remember he was in the cafeteria balancing a spoon on his nose, which is quite difficult. He was a prodigy then, and has honed his epic skills into a dynamic and entertaining performance. Great to see him thriving and pushing the edge of what is possible in juggling performance.
Ok people just to put this into the perspective of a juggler this guy was trained from 5 he can break world records that havent been broken in years in a single practice session hes literally on a whole other level of juggling jugglers today cant even begin to think of and hes retired.
You get your moneys worth with Anthony.
I was lucky to see him live.
He talked to the people after the show.
Such a nice person, Not big headed in the least.
That was possibly the best 10 minutes of my life.
The force is strong with this one.
Cirque is the true greatest show on earth.
Probably the greatest act I’ve ever seen.
As a juggler and t-shirt guy, I met you in 1995 at the IJA convention in Vegas! You signed a bunch of shirts for me in exchange for the 3 different juggling style shirts I had brought to sell! You were such a great guy! I also got to meet your dad! Us jugglers came to see you perform one of the nights and it has always been the highlight of my juggling days! God bless you and your family!
Such little margin for error and he still makes it look easy.
Kinda like how Rickson Gracie and Masahiko Kimura make grappling look easy ;)
Almost unbearably great. Mind blowing. Greatest of all time perhaps.
This truly is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Years and years of mastery and maintaining mastery of an art is underrated. People don't understand the muscle memory and dexterity required for juggling and on this level it's bordering on supernatural.
People look at juggling as something kind of nerdy, but this is an incredible feat of athleticism
Yeah and unlike practice or street juggling he can't screw up or at least their is alot more pressure to not screw up.
The fact that he didn't drop once is really what fucks with me the most.
With no drops at all! That's a professional!
After twenty years, I still can't do five! What you do here, Anthony, is absolutely brilliant. I take my hat off to you sir.
In my prime I struggled with the 5 ball cascade, but did get 30 catches once. I think I accomplished enough in juggling to recognize outstanding juggling. The average person wouldn't notice it.
Think how wonderful it is, that Juggling is portrayed in ancient Egyptian art, 4000 years old.
I’m 53 and just started juggling. I can barely do three balls. This is incredible. Never truly appreciated the skill involved until I started to learn to juggle. If your wondering why I started at a later age, it is because it helps me clear my mind and reduce stress at work.
Try shuffleboard...
Bro, meanwhile sometimes I have my phone in my hand and it just drops? I know with lots of practise comes mastery but to me this is beyond comprehension. Pure magic
At 74, I don't think I've ever seen a better juggler. Wow!
So far, a better juggler has not existed. No one can do or has done a lot of what Anthony Gatto did
It’s often difficult to definitively make the statement…’The Greatest of All Time’…but…very, very rarely, there are exceptions…take a bow Anthony Gatto, you sir are indeed, The Greatest of all Time…thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've watched this guy for years and he is so good only a juggler can begin to appreciate what he is doing. Wow! Thanks for the video!
I'm not a juggler but I appreciate this talent immensely. I was completely mesmerized by this and couldn't stop watching. Didn't even notice my kid get up and leave the room I was so stuck on this.
@kimoi632 what does that mean?
darklordojeda i think it goes the same for anything that if you try it yourself it just appears harder and you appreciate them more is what the other comments were trying to say
it always looks like he's not even trying.. amazing...
The 3 pins with 1 ball was actually the most impressive part for me. That takes serious concentration
My parents bought me tickets to this show and we traveled all the way from Ireland to the US to see him in Kooza about 14 years ago... Man, what a time! I'm also just gonna say it - No juggler, Dietz, Tojo, Galchenko, Koblikov, whoever, nobody can do what Gatto could do when he was performing. The man had a natural gift!
Not only one of the greatest jugglers ever, but so much energy in the performance, and so perfectly executed!
How is this even humanly possible
With a lot of daily training...? :D
***** Slight emphasis on _a lot_ :p
Juggling level : Gatto :)
TheGerogero training daily since children :0
***** Nice words ! I also want to add , that if you practice you should train one trick ( focus on it ) and when you get it , go ahead and learn something new.Because learning many thing in one moment would be distracting
This is a level of sustained mental concentration and physical dexterity I can't begin to comprehend. I couldn't do what his assistant is doing without screwing up!
I love that after everything incredible he does he gets to just stare at the audience and go APPLAUD ME! THAT WAS AMAZING!
Certainly one of the greatest of all time.
He is absolutely extraordinary! Thanks Anthony for putting in so much of your time so that we can get so much enjoyment.
Many people can do many of these tricks in isolation but not anywhere near the speed, precision and showmanship. Showmanship is key! Where he is phenomenal is trick to trick to trick without mistakes, under lights where visibility is greatly limited from a normal practice location. This is the best juggler that’s ever been. None are even close.
If I were to ever talk to Gatto, I would ask how/IF the showmanship excelled when joining the Cirque show and if he had a trainer that gave him ways to increase his style or if he just always had this way. I saw him in Vegas and don’t remember it being quite as flashy, which is not a put down. I love the style he exhibits in the video!
that five ball recovery with the balance was amazing!
Or the casual way he corrected the wrong-ended catch after his five clubs overhead (a trick which nobody else has ever done, to my knowledge).
Well said Paul. There are some young jugglers now who are doing amazing things for their age but Gatto's early development is still AFAIK unmatched. As for common development, I started teaching a juggling club at my daughter's elementary school and only the most focused 7 & 8 yr olds are able to juggle 3 balls for 4 or more catches after 8 weeks.
Completely unimaginable level of skill to pull that off night after night. Like, this is basically an unbelievable video 😂🤯
This video just proved to me that your the world's best juggler! No Drops at All DAMN!!
もうジャグリングを始めて6年以上経ちますが、自分のレベルが上がれば上がるほど、この動画の凄さを思い知らされます。
人前でこれだけの技をこの安定度で投げられること、自分はまだまだだなと、この人を見る度に再確認します。
There cannot be anyone better. It's just not possible!!
The balance at 3:08 was just amazing. Watching this video is a new addiction to the next level
Not only is this insane levels of skill he's f@#$ing DANCING the entire time as well.
This dude is a beast. I hope he's still in the show. Becuz he's amazing
I'm seeing kooza in September
Dario Shame Unfortunately he is now retired.
It's so amazing, I just adore these performances - they take you away from the everyday routine and bring you into some kind of another world. I don't really smile often, but I couldn't stop smiling for a second when watching this performance - both because of how amazing and positive it is and because of how positive Anthony himself is. Thank you!
He is out of this world 😲😲Amazing.. 👍
Amazing talent....unimaginable skill.... 10 out of 10 is an insult....off the charts
Hello;
I admire a lot Anthony Gatto . Since I knew about him alomost 21 years back when I started juggling that time. I think he is a living legend and he seems to be very down to earth kind of person. I really have a lot of respect to him .
Well done Anthony .
Best juggling act I have ever seen. Un-believable skill and showmanship.
THIS DUDE IS AMAZING
That is the best performance ever. Im just shaking my head thinking how is this even possible.
this is possibly the coolest thing i have seen in my whole life
Absolute genius and national treasure!!
Absolutely insane, this level of skill will probably never be repeated again. I am kind of nostalgic about the old times when juggling was a big part of my life and Gatto used to post videos regularly.
Hey, why'd you use my real name in your profile? Jk, I agree!
Never seen this guy before today. Wow, really unbelievable.
Anthony Gatto is the "Houdini" of juggling. You´re a living legend, master.
I know hes a professional and its his job, but hes so damn consistent its unreal
He's not just a professional, he was the best in the world by a large margin before he retired.
The dancing lady in red has her own act. It's amazing how much her presence adds.
I remember seeing this show and this absolutely blowing my mind.
definitely the world's best juggler!! Great respect sir!!
If you guys only knew how many of the hardest of those tricks he’s been doing since he was 7 years old.
Truly amazing athlete. The showmanship too. Incredible
Greatest of all time. Bravo.
Have you seen Sergei Ignatov doing 11 rings?
@@Eugene_The_Libertarian Yes
What's truly amazing is that he was able to do nearly every element of this act when he was 13 years old. 1986 IJA competition!
Wow! great video. I never get tired of watching Anthony Gatto juggle, in my opinion not only the greatest juggler working today, but also the greatest juggler of all time.
that 7 ball half shower is really under-appreciated
how can anyone dislike this?
best juggling performance ever!
What I am only seeing this video after 10 years ??? This guy is a Genius WOW
wtf?? is this even possible?? simply amazing!!
Wonderful. I will never tire of seeing it. Inspires me over and over again...
Good lord 7 clubs !!!! That's incredible
That's incredible, imagine the amount of practice this guy had to do to get this good
Just the very best I have ever seen and I have traveled the world searching circuses.
@Tennisers Wow, sorry to hear you say that. I mean, you don't know me, nor have you ever met me, yet you have formulated your opinion of me via the opinions of others who do not know me either. That's a shame, you really may want to consider not judging ones character until you actually meet them. Stop by my show sometime, and ask for me, if I'm not busy, I'll be happy to come out and say hello, then you can make a judgement about my character based on your own personal experience.
Too true words for this part of internet…but back then we didn’t know much bout it.
Much respect for your work and your skills. Would have love to see you live in you active years.
Hope lives doing well for ya in Florida with your concrete business (read about it somewhere )
Best regards from Germany!
Awesome music for awesome juggling. Perfect.
😱😰👍😧
the drummer is the most important , especially on 10:20
This man is not playing around omg. The goat.
that was the best juggling I've ever seen, just mindbogglingly, jaw-droppingly awesome.
I can't begin to explain the beauty and brilliance of this. All I will say is that practice is only a small part of it...
Bren Walsh Thats not true at all, practice is all of it
Incredible skull and beautiful performance! I wonder how a guy like this compares to earlier generations of jugglers, like f. example Kris Kremo that I saw perform when I was a child and will never forget!
This is what God Mode looks like... one of the best performances of ALL Time!
Yes. People overuse 'God mode', but in this case .... it is definitely fitting.
that was spectacular.
凄すぎてこの気持ちを言葉にできません
ただ感動して涙が止まらない
few people can those things... but anthony, does them on stage with a 2000 people audience. Thats like 10 times harder, because you can't miss.
Anthony Gatto, the best!
OH. I was at La Nouba in 2015 or 2014 and I remember the Juggling act. I couldn't close my mouth because the amount of skill was awesome! This was definitly my favorite part of the whole show. And now I know that it was you! Awesome! I hope you continue to be awesome.
It was an honor seeing you perform in both Kooza and La Nouba!
Simply awesome. By far the best I've ever seen.
Awesome!! Wish I could have seen it in person!!
Been a talented athlete my entire life and this just amazes me crazy good skills and talent. The presentation is excellent as well the perfect way to showcase such amazing skills. The 7 clubs at the end just perfection :)
Great act! Love it.
I watch this routine almost every day for inspiration. My favorite juggling routine by far. These are almost God-like abilities. I hope one day I can be half as good as Gatto lol.
The amount of time he has dedicated to juggling is just mind boggling...
The amount of skills is more mind boggling. Pretty sure you and me spend that much time juggling we won't get his skills.
Truly mind juggling
@@guiyong I disagree.
@@error.418 well, he started very young... And basically, younger people tend to learn faster. So @guiyong isprobably right.
I agree tho that the amount of time he has dedicated to juggling is just mind-boggling...
@@gebruikersnaamhuh It's true that time spent at a younger age is more efficient time spent, just based on brain plasticity and physical advantages, but too often people attribute to "innate skill" without recognizing that it's far more about dedicated practice. We shouldn't write them off as "just gifted" and should recognize just how much work they've put in to getting to this skill level. It's also too often an excuse to not put in the work to improve yourself because "I'll just never be as good as that naturally gifted person." Which is sad. Have fun juggling!
I don’t think anyone understands Anthony’s juggling. Being able to just casually fountain, shower, and half shower 7-9 and like it’s 3 is god tier juggling
That was so Amazing!
Wow!
Holy crap I hope they pay him well.
If you knew...
No they don't.
Not sure where you're getting that info from but I have worked as a juggler for along time with Cirque and Dragone, Gatto and Victor maybe even more-so, Vlad to a lesser extent, have been paid by CDS incredibly handsomely. There is a great respect in the company from the top down for their genius. Gatto was cashing major checks in his run with Kooza.
@@brandonbirchak Hey,as a person that doesn't know anything about the "circus" atmosphere,thanks for the insight
@@brandonbirchak Very glad to hear that. Thanks.
The best there ever was or will be.
This was the first time I have seen Anthony perform. Impressive!!
