STREET PERFORMERS


He held onto a rubber tire with one hand, and a glass of water with the other.
He took a sip from the glass.
He then balanced the glass on the inside rim of the tire, and stapled the glass to the tire.

"Snap", secured.

He then moved a few steps away.
He turned around and commanded his goldfish to leap from a fish bowl into the glass.

"Hop!", the fish did not react.

He tried a few times but the fish acted as it was dead.
He smacked his head with a frustrated expression.
He walked back to the table and "sneakily" made the fish "jump" into the cup.
He started spinning the tire upside down, and sideways.

"Splash", was what we expected.

He kept on spinning the tire but not a single drip of water left the glass.
He did it with his eyes closed, scared that he would fail.
He denied gravity for a few minutes.

"Clap", the audience took their pictures and started walking away.

He looked to a distance and started yelling.
He dropped to the floor and started whining.

"John i can't do this anymore, They think my performance is shit. They all left!", as the audience clapped in amusement.

I left.
