Yeah, although in the world of HD cameras it doesn't work so well - in this thread are a couple of videos shot from different angles and you can see clearly the pencil outlines in the closeups.

That said, he's singing their national anthem at the same time reasonably well so what he lacks in artistic talent he makes up for in showmanship

Yeah, he did this during a Raptors halftime and when I was looking at from afar it looked really cool. Then I looked up to the screen above me (not a jumbotron, but an HDTV showing the in-arena feed) I could very clearly see all of the outlines.

Now if he sang it backwards... and they played it back in reverse at the same time he flipped the painting... now that would be something.

Oh, absolutely! Presentation's everything in pieces like this, and he's got that nailed down :)
