Did i search for this video? No. Did I stay and watch the entire video? Absolutely.

Played a triangle in school once, never seen anyone that small play it.

This is even more amazing when you consider that rubber balls react very strongly to spin... so every throw and every foot stomp have to be so exact as to not impart any unplanned spin as well. This is phenomenal talent.

This routine probably took 100s of hours of practice to execute like this. He has basically reinvented juggling here. Pure dedication to the pursuit of creative vision. What an inspiration!

After 12 years KZfaq decided to recommend this gem.

That's one intense triangle solo.

One of the most amazing parts of this for me is that he has such total control of the ball that he can afford to throw in some engaging physical storytelling and some great expressive comedic actions in between. Not just skill, but style. And to do both flawlessly is on another level.

It only took YT 15 years to recommend me this, and I'm happy it happened

Never gonna play beer pong with this dude

The world will go nuts when he comes out with "the square"

That final segment with the 3 balls is legitimately one of the most impressive physical feats I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable

So, this is what TV was? Sick.

No talking, no bullshit, no fancy lighting and smoke effects. Just pure skills.

Incredible that anyone could ever do this routine even once without making a single mistake. He probably does it in his sleep.

The amount of control you have to have to produce that kind of rhythm and not go once out of beat is astounding. All credit to him for the performance.

This has to be one of the most impressing things i've ever seen in my life.

My friend: what music do u like? Me: it’s complicated

Me: "Time to go to bed...:" KZfaq: "THE TRIANGLE!"

I took my son to this performance. We sat in the 3rd row! Wowzers. I’ll never forget the way Michael’s hands moved so quickly. A master at his craft. He inspired my son to be a juggler and now he’s performing as a professional juggler on cruise ships! How cool! 6:16

The dribbling with his feet is the bit that impressed me the most; that was amazing

Devil: so what do you want in exchange for your soul This guy: well you see... it's complicated

YT after 11 years . "wanna see some weird traingle?"

Greatest drum solo of all time.

Executed to perfection. Such incredible hand eye foot coordination.

Just imagine what he could do if he had a hexagon

What instrument do you play? This guy: *The Triangle*

Keep coming back to this. The man is processing on a whole other level. The coordination, control, temporal and propriocrptive awareness... it's insane. I love it.

This has blown my mind beyond anything I've ever seen in the juggling world. This guy is a master of masters.

the amount of bounces before he catches the ball shows how straight he has to throw the ball for it to not bounce out of the triangle... and that's mad accurate consider he's constantly moving, just wow.

So uuuuhhhhhh You guys got this in your recommendations as well

Never seen this until 2024. You know it's a great performer when he doesn't need to speak a word. Love the rhythms he creates.

Went down the rabbit hole and found this gem

Many years ago I Produced a 4 hour special for A&E called The Mystery of Genius. I had Michael as an example of physical genius. Interviewed him at his home. Lovely and talented man - and yes he PRACTICES! I hope he's doing well.

*After 11 years, KZfaq felt I was old enough to watch this so I got recommendations.*

He just keeps on going and keeps on giving. An absolute master of his craft.

Just pops up in my feed about every 5 years

Ball guy: does a hard trick audience: haaHaAhAhHaaHA

Can you imagine the hours of intense, trial and error, practice.

The accuracy is what really gets me with this, throwing it perfectly EVERY TIME where it doesn't go flying out 😮😮😮😮

He's in the flow of everything and his subconscious is the one performing.

His geometry skills, musical rhythm, and hand eye coordination is impeccable.

Some people enter the "zone" but this guy has always been in the zone

There really is no other performance like this…. 👏 Bravo!!!!

I think the most amazing thing is that every single throw in that video was the exact same direction and strength it needed to be cause even slightly off and the ball would have gone flying the wrong way. Peak human performance

Its like playing drums but with a triangle and three balls and without the drums

Son: Can we go play catch? Dad: Here's a triangle.

When I was a little kid I fell asleep watching PBS late one night. Michael Moschen was performing the triangle. It was years later when I saw him again and only then realized it wasn't a dream.

This is the most impressive human accomplishment ever.

The amount of accuracy involved is unbelievable. I'll bet this guys a hacky sack genius.

I've never seen anyone treat juggling this way. Completely unique. This guy would make an excellent drummer. Precision control of his limbs and he already has a sense of rhythm.

After 15 year this gem of a video was recommended to me by you tube !!

Nice! I remember watching this as a kid on TV and being fascinated by this skit. Amazing!

His hand eye co ordination is unbelievable

This is the longest hidden gem in the KZfaq history..

I love how at the end, he just gestures to the triagle as if to say, "And give it up for this thing."

An impressive feat with an impressive beat.

So this is what my neighbors do all night

I love how he ends it like "give it up for the TRIANGLE everybody!"

When the Steve Gadd licks kicked in, I was driven to tears (of joy!) 🙂

16 years, glad the algorithm still can show me some gems

His motor skills, geometry, musical rhythm, and hand eye coordination is off the chart. Being human is amazing!!!...

I saw every KZfaq video KZfaq algorithm : hold my beer 🍻

I’ve never seen a man look so confused and so confident at the same time

Listening to this on my headphones is really so meditative and helps me unwind

Me: Watching VR videos on KZfaq KZfaq: Y'all gotta love some balls

In my 15+ years of watching KZfaq, this might be the most impressive thing I've ever seen

Those polyrhythms at the end were mindblowing.

Hand eye coordination at it’s best.

The fact that this dude not only thought of a routine like this, but also went "but what if music" and then pulled it off perfectly is absolutely wild

This guy did all of David Bowie's contact juggling in The Labyrinth. He invented so many different types of juggling that he changed the whole field, and so few people know him. It's wild to me.

Euclidean geometry must have been his favourite subject in school. The question remains how I got to see this video in the first place.

Every decision I make plays this entire scene out but I can never see the end!

We were privileged to see him perform live in 1994. We had seats in the center 4th row of a small theater. He was amazing. He was awarded a MacArthur fellowship in 1990. Fun fact, his high school buddy was Penn Jillette. Also, if you are familiar with the Henson movie, Labyrinth, his hands are the ones actually juggling the glass balls.

I first saw this about 30 years ago, and it's still mind-blowing. It's part magic, part juggling, part geometry, part music...no matter how long the performance is, I still want it to go on.

I like how, after all that, he steps aside and gestures to the triangle as if to say it deserves the credit.

Legend speaks of a tiny man whos mastery of the triangle can bring the gods to tears 😭

As interesting and mesmerizing as this was, it's actually extremely terrifying how accurate and in rhythm he is. It's like witnessing a super human or a robot without flaws. It feels so alien to watch this.

I love me some video essays and reacts, but this is what KZfaq was truly made for. Preserving gems like this for posterity.

16 years ago... Got to love his html homepages which surprisingly was still working.

He use Tri-angle very well!!!! Impressive!!!! And I love it!!!! ❤

I just imagine all the kids out there with ten foot triangles in their backyards watching this and being inspired.

That was unbelievable. Towards the end I couldn't even see him catching the ball before he threw it again, his motions were so fluid. That was a man in total control of his environment, a true master.

This man is a human screen saver

The world wasnt ready for this at that time.

I've been juggling for 9 years, I've seen people juggle with absurd amount of balls, with objects not fit for even holding is hand or while performing several other advanced exercises, but this had blown my mind more then any of them. The fact he is juggling while randomly throwing some balls in seemingly random directions and keeping it going and interesting and even very satisfying to hear is just unbelievable for me and inspirational af

Literally perfection. The entire video and not messing up a single throw, pretty amazing!

And I spilled my drink while watching this.

The sheer amount of focus required to successfully do this is insane. Even the slightest trickle of self doubt or thought displacement would mean immediate failure. That's not even mentioning the motor skills and rhythm required.

"Hey can you do you rhythm for us?" "Of course! Let me get my triangle real quick"

I don't know why I'm here but.. I WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO AND I ACTUALLY ENJOYED IT

This video should have 8 billion views, because everyone on Earth should see it!

recommended and so amused by this.... then I saw it was 16 YEARS AGO...... I was definitely a PBS kid growing up but I dont know how I missed this!

I can't remember the last time I saw talent sell itself. I had actually forgot what it felt like to be inspired. Thank you.

They need to have a dang Guinness record simply for being this guy

Some people make hard things look easy. This looks so difficult that it cannot be made to look easy and just shows how talented this guy is. Not easy, just incredibly skilled.

This is what mastery looks like. Speed, precision, unbelievable timing, rhythm, makes it look easy.

that foot juggling is on another whole new level.

Not just The Triangle, but a full percussion solo with theatrical movement included. This man is incredible.

Equilaterally brilliant!

Idk how i got here, but im glad i did. This was absolutely amazing.
