I think most people where either not giving a crap about the show, either "waowing" after each trick even if they didn't know how difficult it was, or wondering when they would take the other 5-6 clubs and start juggling with'em...

I think he does." Personally, I don't think so. I mean they did a great job filling their 2 minutes with awesome and creative and aesthetically pleasing tricks. They did what they though was expected of them. Alternatively they could have done more traditional and easily comprehensible tricks that followed more of a logical flow to help the audience see what they actually doing, like trick progressions starting from basic face to face passing and ending at what they are doing here with no fixed body positions or orientations. But to fit that in 2 minutes is extremely difficult. Either way what they did seemed to please but I'm sure that they must have lost the attention from some people right from the start, simply because the ideas are too abstract and quickly displayed “But you know what? I think he does.”
