Canadian comedian, Michel Lauziere, bills himself as ‘Master of the Unusual.’ He certainly appears to live up to the title. He’s been performing since 1989 and has performed on five continents in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Japanese as needed.

Using [tuned wine bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-drop-gala) and [Rollerblades with strikers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bulls-building-drop), Lauziere plays [Mozart’s Symphony No. 40](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-classical-music) in G minor, 1st movement in the video above and ‘The Toreador Song’ from Carmen in the video below.
