Who played Tchaikovsky Concerto with wooden templates?

Question by Steve G: Who played Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto intro with wooden templates?
Maybe it wasn’t the Tchaikovsky, but it was something that started with big chords like that. Someone handed him these wooden templates for each chord and he just hits it on ascending parts of the keyboard. Very funny video.
