Busking today and all for the nxt 2 weeks

[StephenH]

Good luck with the project.

One thing I have noticed with unicycle performers is that they sometimes confuse the difficulty of an action with the appearance of difficulty. I've seen people ride in circles and never thought anything about it until I started learning to ride and found that wasn't easy (for me, at least) to do. Riding an Ultimate Wheel may be hard, but it just doesn't look hard. Hopping doesn't look too hard. Dragging the seat doesn't look hard. Juggling does. Riding a giraffe looks hard. Keep in mind what non-riders think of it.

Unicycles may seem pretty amazing to non unicyclists but ive seen some buskeres make more than me like this band that played digeredoos and banjos BUT there was 4 people so they would divide that which means i wood probably make more. there is 1 guy on a bike and duz stunts as i mentioned before he gets 100-300$

And about the age thing well
now that im 13 (i was 12 like a week ago) i can go busking bymyself but i dont cos its too difficult to get down there (its not like im gonna walk to adelaide from here because its a 1 hr drive.)I prefer to bring my parents anyway cos there helpful and u never know what can happen down in a capital city. theres some weird people, emo's and gothics (i saw them having a party with party hats and had half eaten cake on the ground, man there weird......), gangsters (1 gangster on a bike did a massive jump over my busking hat where ppl put money in ).Since i am a kid, i reckon people give me lots of money. (especially young teenage girls, 1 girl put like 20c in and she said to her frend, i dont want too look like a stinge! so she put more money in )

20 hours from now and im on day 2!

There was a guy in Venice beach years ago that became pretty famous as a street performer; he juggled a bowling ball, an watermelon and a chain saw...gas powered and running at full speed!

He appeared on Johnny Carson's tonight show in the mid to late 80's and bragged about the all the money he made...the IRS were apparently watching that night. Slapped him with back taxes he failed to report/pay, and huge penalties. Since then, he kinda disappeared from the public arena.

Activity- unicycling on giraffe while juggling and 40-60 mins of juggling
Time busking- 3-4 hours
Money Made- 92$ !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!1 !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
Crowd- LOTS
Competition- not as much as yesterday so an average amount of other buskers

day 1 i made 58, today i made 92$ so thats $150 and i aimed to make only 200$ out of the 5 days so ive worked out that i only need to make 50$ in the next 3 days (which will be so easy and ill get more than 200$ ) which is 16.65$ per day so i can be assured that i will have a nimbus trials ISIS WITH MOMENTS!!!!!!!

anyway i got lots of postive comments and there was lots of people and not as much competition as yesterday. there was a 10 year old girl that was watching for like 10-15 minutes lol. there was also a little asian girl that was like half def and kept saying "wha" (what) and she kinda kept running in my way but not for long.

This is a really cool writeup, its great to see that you can make some money doing this. Kinda makes me wish I had a giraffe and some better juggling skills.

Do you have to heckle the crowd much or do you just do your thing?

Good luck with your next days, maybe you can even afford a full KH or a CF base!

It's stronger/much more rigid than standard plastic seatbases.

Youre gonna get the money you need pretty easily, and earlier than you were expecting, but dont stop there, keep going for the rest of the days you have planned. Extra cash is always nice to have.

Like someone else said... do you just ride around and juggle, or actually try to entertain and get involved with the crowd?
