This video shows two performers spotted a few times in subway terminals in New York City. The man plays an accordion while the woman puts on a puppet show. Her puppet appears to be a plastic bag shaped into a ballerina. She controls it with her hands and her toes.

What are the rules that you have to follow when you want to be a busker? Which songs can or shouldn’t you play? This funny blog is your guideline, including a diary of an unfortunate busker. Consider this excerpt from a post called "Natural Enemies: The Busker’s Nemeses":
Living statues earn money doing as little as possible. Wearing greenish outfits covered in (hopefully) fake pigeon shit, they are the vertical equivalent of a coma patient. People give them money just to watch them move. That would be like giving money to a busker to make him stop singing. Yes, even inanimate people get more attention than a busker and thus more money. It’s tempting to steal their income, but as immobile as they may seem, they will chase you even if it ruins their act.

We’ve all seen them in busy shopping streets and parks, or in front of monuments and tourist attractions: street performers posing as statues. Some whistle when you pass by, some move when you give them money. Some do it as a career, others between jobs. But whatever the case, being a living statue takes guts, strength, creativity and yes, a good deal of exhibitionism.
Environmental Graffiti has photos of 15 living statues, some you’d never know until they moved! Link -via Unique Daily
