The video is only good for people who have no idea how piano is played. He could throw the ball on the same note and it would constantly change tone according to the preprogrammed piece.

Wow, I learned to reverse juggle 5 balls a while ago -- it's not so hard.  If only I knew to do it on a fake piano I, too, could be on Leno! ; )
