The Performer with the Perfect Stage
I have never seen any street performer quite as succesful as this one.
His performance, which invoves only him and a soccer ball, is très impressive.
He also has managed to find himself the perfect spot to perform his routine, on top of a hill, with the most perfect view behind him.
The tourists love him, and so do the locals. His performance is so thrilling, in fact, that afterwards the big crowd all stands in line to shake his hand. Most street performers get 10 cents per audience member, if anything, but he gets at least a 5 euro bill.
I have been to the sacrée cœur steps many times, and he is always there, and I'm always enthralled.
Here are three short clips:
