I can't look at that link because I'm using dial-up right now but is the video of a guy bouncing balls onto a piano thingy on the ground?  If so, then I've seen it before and it was fake - the "piano" was pre-programed to play preset notes as long as any keys were hit so he could hit C ten times and play ten different notes.  He was playing the catchy theme from Hung Rapper 2.

ow well, that really sucks then...
Still, great entertainment for the audience

WOW!  

Awesome~

Unfortunately, it looks fake to me.  If you look when he starts "God bless the USA", it starts with the same note 4 times ("And I'm proud to be an American..."), but he's hitting different keys and the same note plays correctly.

What is the last melody he played ?

buddy, I hope you arent american!

Stars and stripes forever!  The Berenstein Bears stole the melody for their TV show...

I actually am beginning to see it as fake- when he does play stars and stripes forever, he tends to rock back and forth along the keyboard-something that makes me suspicious whether or not he is actually playing it.  Still, it's a great faking act-> It looks impressive.

The most suspicious looking part to me is at 1:36, because the melody is rising, rising, and yet, he moves down to the lower part of the keyboard during it.

It's not fake.  It's real.  I saw in live in Vegas.  I doubt that Vegas would have people pay a sh*t load of money to see some fake.

Well, maybe everyone else thought the same thing, and then Vegas realised that as well?

I think the guy is pretty awesome. And it is really. You can see that by where he throw the ball. When he hits a certain key, it products that note every time he hits that key. It's like a regular piano. It's not pre-recorded. Plus he does hit I think at least one wrong note. And by the way...does anyone know that guy's name?

[Rach3]

You are naive. Look at 0:33, just watch the keys when he supposedly plays D--C-D-E. It's blatantly wrong.

It's not fake.  It's real.  I saw in live in Vegas.

In Vegas they also saw people in half and make them disappear.

Of course, it's "magic".
