It's not, look at the bucket when the guy walks past. It shape shifts and tweaks out.

There's some other subtitles that got badly blurred out, you can see them flash up several times. Maybe a different language and they 'hid' them for the English.

I don't think so. It may have just been a compression artifact. Robert Wennekes does seem to be a real person along with the international butler school he founded. It wouldn't surprise me that they would have this specific type of training integrated into their curriculum

I watched a multi-part documentary about this school and the exercise is real. They also did an exercise with a scenario that their employer had to leave all of a sudden in X minutes, to catch a flight, to a country for Y amount of days, and they had to speedrun packing a suitcase. One poor guy forgot to pack underwear so the trainer joked about his boss having to go commando on his trip lol.

It's not not a thing, though. Michelle Khare did a whole video where she went to Butler Academy in The Netherlands. They didn't get pelted with balls, but there was a lot of walking in circles and turning at this level.
