This is an awesome article. I plan on reading it twice a day for the next week in a nutshell, Jimmy being my teacher has tried to tell me these very things over and over and over again. And I always believed him, but for some reason seeing, everything he’s been saying to me for years has seriously impacted me when I read it.
I’ve been performing magic and getting paid for it for over 35 years. I’m a solid journeyman at magic but like Jimmy says it’s not about the magic. It’s about creating real live Street theater that no one expected to see that day. It’s about you and showing them that you have some value to show them that will entertain them and make them smile.
Jimmy, thank you so much for this article and everything you write and everything you do in your students lives!
By the way, I still don’t consider myself a Busker though I’ve done it often on for 20 or 25 years. I’m still not good, but God and the streets aren’t done with me yet!
I think you are a brilliant performer and creator. You are also a great guy, thanks for the kind words, and I hope you'll keep us posted on your adventures on the streets.
