Is he playing with his mind?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE70DyM_xh0&feature=related Seriously though, I first thought the "ghost" keypresses were pre-programmed, but it wouldn't make much sense, so I assume it's some sort of pedal system that connects octaves. This is just a wild conjecture though. Can anyone explain what's really going on there?

He's just playing along with a player mechanism as far as I can tell. "Wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dreams come true..." - Lorenz Hart
