You may have seen David Bowie's character in "The Labyrinth" movie perform contact juggling. Actually, Bowie did none of it, an artist by the name of Michael Moschen put his arms around Bowie and performed the work. Michael Moschen caught the eye of Muppet Creator Jim Henson through his act of juggling which can be seen here. It's really something to see, but the video in the link above, this Chinese kid is really amazing too. It's an interesting art form.

I still prefer David Bowie because he did that 3-D walk thingy where you couldn’t figure out whether he was upside down or not.

Very cool. The Chinese kid is good, too. Labyrinth is still a fun DVD to watch although I wished Henson had not included the scene of the little goblin pi**ing against the wall, it was gratuitous.

Gratuitous garbage seems to be the hallmark of many movies during the late 70s through the 80s. So many movies that could’ve been really good were ruined.
