PIRATE OF PENZANCE

LAST NIGHT I WENT TO THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT MARKET AND THERE WAS A NEW STREET PERFORMER WHO LOOKED LIKE AND SOUNDED LIKE THE PIRATE IN THIS FAMOUS MOVIE! HE WAS A VENTRILOQUIST WHO HAD A PUPPET WHOSE EYEBROWS AND MOUTH MOVED AND YOU COULD NOT SEE HIM MOVE HIS MOUTH AT ALL. HE SPOKE FOR THE PUPPET AND THEN THE PUPPET HAD HIS VOICE AND HE SAID I'M GOING TO TO PUT YOU BACK IN YOUR BOX AND THE PUPPET SAID 'NO I WANT OUT!'. IT WAS QUITE ENTERTAINING. HE JUGGLED THREE FIRE STICKS IN THE AIR WHILE ASKING THE AUDIENCE IF THEY WANTED TO SEE HIM THROW ONE UNDER HIS LEG. HE PUT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER OUT BEFORE HE STARTED AND HE THREW A FIRE STICK UNDER HIS LEG.

ANOTHER JUGGLING ACT HE DID WAS WITH A FIRE STICK A LARGE PIRATE'S KNIFE AND AN APPLE. HE JUGGLED THEM WHILE TAKING A BITE OF AN APPLE WHICH LOOKED TRICKY!

ANOTHER TRICK HE DID WAS TO HAVE A GUY PRINT HIS INITIALS WITH A PENCIL ON A $20 BILL. HE THEN SOMEHOW HID IT INSIDE FOUR LOCKED BOXES THAT FIT INSIDE EACH OTHER.. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE THE MAN WAS OPENING THE BOXES. THE FIRST THREE HAD NOTHING, THEN WHEN HE UNLOCKED THE FOURTH HE ASKED HIM IF THAT WAS HIS $20, AND HE SAID YES! IT WAS MAGIC..

ANOTHER INTERESTING PART OF THE MARKET WAS A GROUP OF COUNTRY AND WESTERN GUITAR PLAYERS AMD SINGWRS. THEY HAD 'CLOGGERS' WHO DANCED A RAPID TWO STEP TO THE MUSIC WITH SPECIAL CLOGGING SHOES!
