Street Performers













Walking around Cuba st. stoday myself and a crowd of people were entertained by a street performer named "Slim." As his name instended he was a tall skinny guy with pants 20x wider then his actual legs, a black blazer, and a pink horn made of dyed pink hair at the top of his shaved head. He was a street magician but he was very open with the crowd and played with awkwardness. He called out, observing and stating awkward moments and swore like a sailor. He created th ebiggest crowd I have seen for street performers. He did tricks and one of them was Houdini-ing out of chains and a straitjacket. But before he made his struggled escape he had a hat on his foot, which was lit on fire and he kicked it up, making the hats do a couple flips, and after his third attempt, and managed to land it safely on his head. His final stunt was swollowing a 1 1/2 foot long samurai sword. Crazy guy but definitly won my coffee money for his performance.
