Do not focus too long on the fingers on the right side of the screen. I am pretty sure they are his and it is not Thing T. Thing jr accompanying him.
(Browny Points awarded if you knew who "Thing T. Thing" was with out Goggling him.)

Talented indeed. I've never understood people who can do more or less independent things with each hand (a limitation that probably has a lot to do with my failure to thrive at piano lessons, although lack of discipline may have had something to do with that).
I'm sure that broken arm is a major inconvenience for you, but it's working out pretty well for the rest of us.
(No Browny Points for me, I'm afraid, although I suspected the truth. Maybe half a point?)

Point 5 Browny Point is awarded.
The broken arm is mending well.
I too am in awe of people who can do independent things with both hands at the same time. I can hold a screw with one hand and operate a screwdriver with the other. Or a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. Anything more complicated is either a non-starter or will probably end badly.
Here is a link to an 11 year old boy who sits down at a piano in a mall plays for 9 and a half minutes with out sheet music, crosses hands one over the other and with his eyes closed a lot.
Here is a link to a short organ music piece. This guy has both hands AND both feet going independently at the same time.
How do they do that!?
I was reminded of "Thing" when I first saw the initial clip that started this thread.
I did Google him before I made the entry. I was surprised that (according to Wiki) "Thing was originally conceived as a whole creature (always seen in the background watching the family) that was too horrible to see in person. The only part of it that was tolerable was its human hand." I guess TV technology then didn't allow filming him as envisioned.
Makes me appreciate the old saw that necessity is the mother of invention.
