what would be more impressive is if he tried to hit the right keys for the tune at the same time instead of using the keyboard's "hit any key to automatically play the notes of this song" function

He can hit two notes with one ball because he is hitting the keys that are right next to each other, and hits half of one and half of the other.

obviously you've never played a piano before, good luck hitting a major triad with a single ball (or even two balls) without hitting any of the other intervening notes.

also that's not a real keyboard, the black keys are not raised, and none of the keys move. I don't see why you're defending this video so much, go ask anyone who's ever played a piano and ask them if the balls are hitting the same notes as being played. You'll quickly find that the answer is: no, and also he's playing more notes at once than balls bouncing. This man is juggling rhythmically against what is basically a touch-sensitive board on the ground, that is playing out consecutive notes and chords of the song at every touch.

this video: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/05/dan-menendez-juggling_n_1570367.html shows a different camera angle on the guy's piano, you can see that it's significantly larger than an ordinary keyboard (it's about double the width and much longer), and also the surface is completely flat (no raised black keys that the ball can bounce off at odd angles) and does not have movable keys. In other words, a prop set up to produce the correct notes of a song regardless of where the ball hits. He is an entertainer, and a good juggler, but is by no means playing piano in the conventional sense. His acts entertain and wow an audience who don't know how to play the piano.

He's not even good at what he's doing. There are people out there who can at least make it look like they could be the ones playing the song. This guy is just plain out bad.

Haha, he's not even close... I like it when he plays two notes by only throwing one ball. That's impressive.

It's definitely fake, which would be fine considering he's an entertainer not a musician, but the fact that he only approves positive comments that make him look special on his page makes him really hate him.
