Awesome Talents

YouTuber Moretoki combines carpool karaoke with lip sync battle. His celebrity guest? Himself. Watch him work, work, work it to the latest hits while his unimpressed mom drives him around. This kid should audition for Justice League’s Plastic Man.

Beatboxer Tom Thum turns in an epic live performance of his track Ratchet Face, spitting out crazy sounds, and impressing us with his mad looping and sequencing skills. Though there were times we couldn’t help think of Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade.

We’re used to see musician Rob Scallon shredding licks on his electric guitar (or the occasional shovel), but for his latest video, he upgraded from eight strings to 22, and ripped up the place on harp. Honestly, we had no idea that instrument could make such sounds.

Bartender Philip Traber could barely reach the top of his stack of glasses to fill them with the Jägermeister, but in the end, he managed to carefully fill all 17 of his shot glasses, and dunk them into the Red Bull with flair – besting his previous world’s record.

Dancer Marquese “Nonstop” Scott never ceases to amaze us with his smooth-as-butter moves. This time out, he uses his skills to seemingly defy gravity and create furniture out of thin air. The track is Stwo’s Her (Majid Jordan Edit).

Charlie Albright shows us just how fast his fingers can fly across the keyboard of his Steinway with this performance of Adolf Schulz-Evler’s Arabesque of Johann Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz. Oh, and Charlie doesn’t just do classical. Check out his boogie woogie.

Brothers Aryeh and Gil Gat turn in an excellent cover version of Pink Floyd’s 1975 classic on the streets of Jerusalem. If this isn’t hard proof that you can’t judge a book by its cover, we don’t know what is. More here.

Time-lapse footage of carver Valeriano Fatica as he spends 18 hours sculpting an intricate bust of Game of Thrones’ imposing Night’s King from a watermelon. Previously, he made a white walker from a pumpkin.

There are lots of different things you can use to create rhythms, but we find the sounds created by musician Dominik Schad and his boxes of matches to be particularly pleasing to our ears. Even better with headphones on.

Hailing from Portugal, beatboxer JEWOW loses his mind, flails his arms wildly, and rattles our eardrums, as he demonstrates his ability to create some absolutely insane sounds with his mouth. Also, Fargo guy plays the drumsticks.

Willian Lee turns in a spot-on cover version of Dire Straits’ Sultans of Swing during a street performance in São Paulo. Not only is his guitar playing excellent, he gives Mark Knopfler’s vocals a run for their money. Check out his Clapton, Orbison, Isaak, and Bee Gees too.

YouTuber HMS2 makes accurate, but teensy replicas of real world items for dollhouses. Out of all of the creations on their channel, these miniature cups of instant ramen are our personal favorites. Though the tiny Pocky sticks and potato chips are equally impressive.

A talented street food vendor in China works some serious magic as he maneuvers his edible creations into a series of geometric patterns by simply jostling his tray just right. You might even say he was tossing his cookies.

This America’s Got Talent contestant is not the hero that the show deserves, but it’s the one that it needs. Watch as this silent comedian banks on people to judge him by his looks and their love of ballads.

Puppet maker Barnaby Dixon shows off a proof-of-concept design for a new puppet that incorporates the use of his fingers to articulate its hands, feet and head. Combined with Barnaby’s solid puppeteering skills, its movements are impressively human. More here.

Cardistry masters Huron Low, Kevin Ho, and Daren Yeow demonstrate just why their group goes by the moniker “Virtuoso,” weaving their magical and mindbending playing card moves. Get the same awesome yellow, black, and grey deck for yourself from TheVirts.

Cardistry master Noel Larsen-Heath shows off some of his impressive card handling skills, from spinning cards on his fingertips to floating them in mid-air. The last time we saw someone bend playing cards like he does, the guy next to us at the blackjack table got shown the door.

Kuma Films captured this amazing footage of a performance by a group of acrobats known as Coming True, who incorporate fiery spinny batons, a flaming jumprope, and fire breathing into their choreography.

After teaching dogs to drive cars, animal behaviorist Mark Vette and his team managed to teach some very smart rescue dogs how to take their skills to the air. We’re betting Barry the bedlington terrier would make quick work of this task.

Master playing card manipulator Zach Mueller once again works his magic, making cards do things we didn’t think were physically possible and showing off his limited-run popsicle colored Pink Fontaine cards while he’s at it.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this sort of act, but every time we see someone perform with these spinning rings, we can’t resist. We’re just simply too hypnotized to avoid it. Kuma Films shares some fascinating footage of the performance art known as Buugeng.

Football freestylers Joltter, Andrew Henderson, and Melody Donchet show off their impressive soccer ball juggling skills surrounded by a ring of fire, and with the ball itself ablaze in this cool short film from COPA90. The track is When a Fire Starts to Burn by Disclosure.

Jumpy the border collie does his best Bob Ross impression, and actually paints a rudimentary landscape scene. His trainer Omar Von Muller taught the incredibly smart dog how to follow a pointer while holding the brush in his mouth. He can also write his own name.
