David Aiken, aka the Checkerboard Guy, is a regular at Buskerfest. Here he's seen balancing on a ladder in the midst of his crowd. Part of the job is engaging with the audience, something he's well versed in, with a good sense of humour.
And then the juggling begins. You try doing this. Now try doing it balancing yourself on a ladder.
Amusing moments...
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteDespite your tempting invitation to emulate Dave's party piece I'll be keeping both feet firmly on the ground, thank you! (though I did manage to successfully juggle a plate while drying the dishes recently).
ReplyDeleteI can't juggle.
DeleteHe has attracted a large crowd.
ReplyDeleteHe did.
DeleteI can't even climb a ladder right now. Not to mention juggling.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteHa, takes me back to a time when I used to walk around on a ladder like this one, at our greenhouse. We were rebuilding something and I realized that I could walk with the ladder.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't manage that.
DeleteHe did attract a crowd, he must be good. Take care, enjoy your day and have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteHa captado la atención, de todos los espectadores.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteQuite a crowd!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteThere is talent there to be sure, but what a life.
ReplyDelete"What's your job?"
Delete"Sword swallower."
...ah, to have such balance!
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteNot easy to do!
ReplyDeleteLots of practice.
DeleteI'd fail at that for sure.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteOh my goodness he's quite the rave and look at that crowd! Wonderful fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteEstou a gostar desta série.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

DeleteI have enough trouble using ladders without trying to balance on one.
ReplyDeleteThis takes skill.

ReplyDeleteIndeed.
Deletewhat a blast. i can not imagine ...but it sure does look like fun. i love all the colors and patterns. ( ;
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI think it would be fun to do simple juggling while out in public. Particularly when kids are around! Maybe I will learn.
ReplyDeleteIt is a skill.
DeleteMais uma série de imagens fantástica! Tudo parece fácil, mas imagino quantas horas de treino, até se conseguirem tais equilibrismos...
ReplyDeleteUm grande abraço

Thanks.
DeleteHe had the crowd captivated, I appreciate the talent of juggling, it is not as easy as it looks.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is not.
DeleteLooks like a fun event to watch, I can only juggle 2 balls no more.
ReplyDeleteMore than me!
