    You find the most interesting things Richard. I like the side stage angle you took up and the timing used for sweeper to fit in. All the more interesting. I can imagine how they are doing this mwink.gif but I love the making of the impossible look possible ... just like that. Easy as pie. thumb.gif Well done :D Now I have 2 shots to keep an eye out for. Maybe Portland will have something when I go visit soon. Your tug pushed me to street photography once before when there... and for here :D:D:D

    Fun shot Richard! The implied (actual?) indifference of the audience makes it.
    Entertaining illusion (unless it's real ne_nau.gif)

    Well, dunno. It was easy enough to get a shot of just the street performers, but I waited till the sweeper was in position. I had been hoping he would sweep directly under the guy on top, but it didn't happen. ne_nau.gif

    Thanks, Michael. I got started in photography because I wanted to send pics to friends of the neat stuff I was seeing when I moved to Madrid. The show never stops.

    As for the illusion, there's really only one explanation. They are careful to cover themselves with a huge tarp when they are setting up, so I haven't been able to see how they put it together. It's one of the cooler street acts I've seen lately.

    Very interesting shot. Sure had me trying to figure out how they do it.

    As others have said, cool shot. I think it's real magic, don't you?

    Thanks. Magic is certainly the simplest explanation. mwink.gif
