There is absolutely no reason or logic as to why YT has been recommending these Michael Davis videos to me.... but I sure am glad they did. He's fantastic. Its so simple and all comes down to perfect timing and execution.

You watch one and then it just keeps coming. This guy is a riot!

@burteriksson ? wtf is adam sandler have to do with this

[@user9999-z]

@burteriksson funny is subjective. We all have different humor. So you are wrong, if someone isnt funny to YOU, that doesnt make them automatically not a comedian. Lmao, you just got owned by a 13 year old. Also youtube tip, when you want to reply to someone just click the reply button under their comment, but if you're on mobile, click their comment.

[@user9999-z]

@burteriksson the reason i assumed you didnt understand the concept of funny is because you said adam sandler, (the comedian millionaire) is unfunny. It seemed like you were saying he is unfunny in general. Ok i made several grammar errors? How is this relevant to our argument? this is youtube, you dont have to have great grammer when you are commenting under a youtube video. It seems like you still arent replying to me correctly, im not getting your replies in my notifications. Hence the reason i was a hour late to reply to you.

Absolutely perfect timing and delivery. Honestly as close to flawless as you can get

[@nopants4259]

I can't believe how good he is ! great talent and properly funny. How did he not become famous? HE makes me laugh out loud and I'm a miserable English bastard in his 50's

[@mediamannaman]

Well, he was on the Tonight Show, and he performed for the President (Reagan). He was pretty well-known. But I’ve never seen a juggler become as famous as a singer or a comedian. Not sure why. If anyone could do it this guy could.

[@stevewright4576]

I remember seeing this first time in the 80s when I was in my 20s, I'm in my 50s now, still fall on the floor funny! The internet is wonderful!

[@deborahstein7866]

Great comic timing and great juggling. Why have I not heard of this guy before?

I saw this when it originally aired. Saw it only one time. I remember this entire bit. Even the punch lines. but I can’t remember where I put my duffel bag last week!!

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

I had almost completely forgotten about this bloke and his act, I remember watching him performing once very long ago, though I forget exactly where. I am surprised that he hadn’t been more well known since.

[@robertzeurunkl8401]

I like all this guy's acts. His deadpan humour is the best.

[@MrDavey2010]

Fabulous! So talented.

[@ronaldli5]

0:44 I can't even see him switch anything from the right hand other than it reclamping a little bit. My god.

[@stevethea5250]

Or it's clamped and there's a hole for his fingera? Notice he never lets go of right hand when waving it about

[@tomitstube]

it's a great trick, my guess is this. notice the right hand holding the rod by the finger tips, the fake hand is concealed underneath his hand and in place. you can see the right hand stays fixed when he shows it. the slight of hand is removing his real hand, very quickly, and by raising the cloth it helps him make the move and conceal it. he does all of this with great skill of course.

maybe its a glove and at 0:44 he pulls his hand out of the glove so thats why it moves

I hate watching some magicians trying to woefully put comedy in their routine but davis is an awesome example of how to add comedy to your routine the right way

[@Fluffyudders]

These keep popping up in my recommended, and I keep watching them. The only thing that bothers me is this guy's wikipedia page. He entertained for PRESIDENTS in the early 90s, and then just kinda disappeared....

[@unravel523]

sorry for the late answer, but yeah, it seems odd, he was quite The Guy in his days, and then...

[@AutPen38]

The 80s and 90s are a long time ago. There aren't many 68 year old performers on TV any more. I think Michael spent several years in a vaudeville/cabaret/circus/restaurant place a bit like Cirque du Soleil, but many other TV performers of his era ended up on cruise ships, or in Vegas, if they didn't simply retire. He's still alive though and presumably can still juggle and tell jokes with his friends and family and maybe enjoy reading comments on KZbin.

davis has said as much, that anyone can do the trick (with hard work of course) it's making the trick entertaining that sets you apart. davis and penn and teller have figured it out. with these guys the trick is almost secondary to the joke.
