One of the last shows

I am trying to find out the names of two very talented people Phil had on his last or near last show. The first fellow is an artist that throws paint on a canvas...when you begin to think it is just abstract art he throws an assortment of black spatters and the portrait he has been painting is revealed "Martin Luther King". This fellow is an awesome talent.
The second fellow was a juggler...not the usual fare of juggling either. He stands inside a HUGE triangle of metal and begins to juggle and at the same time creates music with whatever he is juggling. I had never seen this fellow before, or since.....Again another awesome talent.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

I REMEMBER that episode!!! I was in awe when the artist revealed MLK's portrait :)

I'm actually trying to find the episode when Donahue had polygamists on the show (sometime between 1988 and early 90s). My mom was the audience member that made a couple of disapproving comments about their lifestyle...with the latest controversy, it brought back memories and I started my search.

If I come across the artist's name, I'll pass it on to you. Please do the same.
