I guarantee you've never seen a guy play the piano with his balls before...
Most impressive!
Watch the balls in action... (http://media.ebaumsworld.com/pianoballs.wmv)

I knew that this was a trick. BUt Whatever, it was funny
-
hehe funny.
it'll be a sequential thing, so it doesnt matter where onthe 'keyboard' he hits... it'll trigger the next note in the sequence.
a good crowd pleaser though :D
-
I can say for a fact that this is not fake.
I was in Dallas a few years ago, and saw him in person. I thought at the start it was fake, but after he proved it wasn't (had a couple people come up and check as well as other things). I was amazed.
I can jungle (a little), but this just blew me away.

It's real..
-
it's not real... anyone who knows about a music keyboard will be able to tell you at least a dozen or more places during that video where the balls dont land in the right place up or down the keyboard to be playing the sequences of notes that he's playing.
he might be playing notes rising in pitch.. andyoull actually see the balls landing sometimes up sometimes down.
this cannot be real... he'd be playing gibberish
not to mention the fact that the size of the balls wouldnt allow for him to hit single keys accuratley enough anyway... the keys are too thin... he'd be hitting 3 keys at a time with balls that big *ahem*
doesnt mean it's not GREAT to watch.
guys, musicians... back me up here?
oh.. and its easy to fake for when people go and have a look, someone off stage just flips a switch and turns it from a sequential/single hit sequencer... to a real keyboard... easy to do :) and the audience members think it's real
-
hmmm good points. But Im more proficient with guitar... cant help with physics of the piano though.
-
About the size of the keys compared to the size of the balls thing... I don't believe this is a "normal" keyboard. When the camera zooms in pretty close it looks as though they are about 2" wide and look to be more of a touch pad than actual keys.
Looks real to me.

i'm leaning towards pre-programmed. what he should have done though, was to programme in the odd 'off' note. that would have convinced EVERYONE it was real
-
There were a couple of notes that were off.
-
That was funny. Lame. But funny. =)
-
There were a couple of notes that were off.
off, or just out of time?
-
Both

I saw this guy at a Houston Rockets game back when the Dream was still playing.
