That shows some clips of Dan Macaskill's. Here are some others to enjoy:

They can get a little repetitive, but his skill is phenomenal:



His ride across the cable on this one is insane:

Awesome.

Have you heard of John Farnworth? World Champion Football Freestyler? seen him perform. He's amazing - he is also really approachable and sent signed photos to my son!

I finished a Rubiks cube once

(Bows down to el_richo)

So did I but then someone pointed out that all of the colours were supposed to match

The coloured squares didn't stick properly after i'd finished though

What? a whole one?

Im betting Novo picked one up and completed it in less than 10 seconds.
Then wrote to the inventor pointing out its flaws and had they used better elements from the periodic table and incorporated them into the design they would have seen the colours as brighter and that while twisting the cubes there would have been a smoother action and less friction.
With his charm he then approached the Canadian Govt for research dollars and is currently working on a new and improved version

This is a local band who's Youtube video went viral - in 3 weeks they had over 32 million hits on it (up to 38 million now) ... they appeared on "Ellen" this week. What they do with 1 guitar and 5 people is amazing!

But in the 29 minutes and 30 seconds they were trying while at work what were you doing WORKING
