What an awesome performance! This article really helped me understand so much more about juggling. The author says it best:

    Jugglers don’t have to perform difficult tricks to entertain people, because audiences generally don’t know what’s difficult. Juggling five objects is 10 times harder than juggling four, and six objects is 10 times harder than five, but to most people, five objects in the air looks like six, and six looks like five.

Looking at this Cirque video... it really shows just how masterful he is at his craft:

    But then came a guy who wasn’t interested in lying, who wanted to do stuff that was hard because he could.
