1. Amazing stuff

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if these are the things that will be normal and commonplace in the next ten years.

2. I don't know how he did that first one;

I'll have to try it a few more times, lol.

I know that it reminded me of a "brain gym" exercise: "hooking up."

4. I checked out his website and he has about 15 videos up, some with celebs

He did his blind driving test with Nicole Scherzinger, they drove down Hwy 101 (?) in California.

He also does the hand spike test with Elijah Wood, Samuel Jackson, Redman. There are several other videos to get side tracked watching.

I got into watching all the videos and reading about Keith. Amazing talent.

Thanks for sharing VSM:hi:
