Hollywood Street Magic

My parents stopped by while I was busking and took a video of the last couple routines. I had a bad show prior to this good one, so I was a tad bit impatient, though I think I hid the disappointment I had from the other show well. The one before I had to close because a heckler came up and touched my props in the middle of the act and I couldn't get rid of him well enough to continue.

If you guys have critiques or advice, I'd be happy to get pointers. Learning from mistakes is what early busking is all about.

Whenever there's a heckler giving me trouble, I just make him disappear. Great effect with a happy ending ;-)

Street hecklers are tough.

I just saw that you're in Boston. I must admit, I am very jealous. I busked for 4 days at Harvard Square, and the atmosphere is much nicer than Hollywood and the work paid more than twice as much.

Nice act, well done

The chop-cup seemed to go down really well

Shame about the audio, you sound like a confident young man, would have liked to have heard the patter :(

Looked like it was late at night as well, which always takes some front, will always be a drunk idiot somewhere wandering past ready to ruin something :roll:

Are you watching closely? Then I'll begin...
