Thread Name: How do I go about nonmusical busking?
Subject: RE: BS: How do I go about nonmusic busking?
One of the craziest and most effective busker I ever saw as a guy at Fisherman's warf in San Frnacisco. He just had a pile of brush that he would hide behind, then run out and scare the hell out of passers by. He drew a crowd and talked them in to contributions if he scared the next person. He was making more money than anyone on the street! just goes to show you if you have the showmanship I guess you can make anything work! pd he scared the living hell out of me also. I would be afraid someone would shoot him or have a heart attack!
