WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

MenoFest; Continuing the fun

One of the main attractions in Edinburgh during the festival season is all the street-theatre and performance of all kinds. They work hard for their 'alms'.  Some better than others of course, but all worth a dollar or two.

This fellow - Sylvester Jester - was as much comedian as juggler and encouraged full audience participation. It's difficult to convey after the fact; you kind have to have been there for much of the fun. Still. Let's see if these piccies help to bring a little of the laughter and breath-holding and mexican-waving to you...











































































Oh yes folks, he was juggling those knives whilst bouncing on a one-leg stilt. Given that howler of a wind had played havoc with his batons and balls up to this point, it might be considered to have been rather more than simply fool-hardy. Well, somebody has to do it I suppose... Sylvester lived up to being a jester and kept us well entertained for a good forty minutes. Worth every penny.

  4. Juggling with knives? I can't even slice bread without mishap, let alone juggle! Although juggling bread would be possible I think. Might get a bit crumby, but otherwise fine.
