“All I can think of is David Bowie in Labyrinth…”

hahaha yeah same here. Y’know, the guy who actually did that was behind Bowie’s back, so he couldn’t really see what he was doing. Nuts.

As for the performances, I liked the first one better. Mr.Ohm is a bit too creepy, it was like he was staring at my soul o_0

Nice talent with the grace and all that noise. Can’t say much about that funky hat and fedora. Maybe that’s where the power lies: Funky hats and fedoras.

I have seen four guys doing the same thing in San Telmo, Argentina. It was really impressive.

Mr Om is obviously a ‘Fantastic Planet’ reference. The music sounds like its from FP too

I just have to wonder how many HOURS of practice it takes to get to that level! I doubt I’d have that level of patience.

Btw, I liked the first video of Okotanpe better than the Wizard.

This is a lot harder than it looks. And this is about as good as it gets. Very impressive!

Oh, I figured out the song the guy uses in the first video! It’s by Rei Harakami called, “300ml (Milk)”. Odd name but quite a lot of fun to listen to.

I also forgot to add…I want to try this out!

The first street performer was pretty cool. Mister Om’s performance seemed kind of silly.

Mister Om really looks like Will Ferrell, which made his performance hilarious.
