Talent shows are growing in popularity around the world, but the winner of China's version is truly something to behold.
Jeanne Moos introduces us to a young man whose prodigious talent extends down to his toes.
You know how people talk about someone having the hands of a pianist?
Well, make that the feet. You are listening to the winner of "China's Got Talent," talent down to the toes.
Twenty-three-year-old Liu Wei has no arms but he disarmed the judges with his feet.
His first appearance back in August, he played an all-instrumental piece, a piece that brought at least one judge to tears.
After losing both arms, he learned to dress, swim, use a computer and even write,
so it wasn't such a stretch for him to start tickling the ivories with his toes at the age of 19.
Four years later, he's helped make "China's Got Talent" that country's most popular show.
Liu Wei was 10 when he lost his arms in an accident.
He touched a wire and got shocked while playing hide and seek.
Now, he's the one electrifying audiences. He told the judges, "At least I have a pair of perfect legs."
We've seen legwork before on piano keys,
from the movie Big to a Swedish stairway designed to entice people into taking the stairs rather than the escalator.
But this type of toe work led to cramps and abrasions when he first started.
A bit of irony, guess who sponsored the competition won by an armless guy playing piano with his feet?
Head & Shoulders.
Liu Wei, head and shoulders above the competition with toes that are truly touching.
