Once inside the pavillion I was once again delighted to see there were more performances happening! This guy was sort of a magician type guy who put on about a 20 minute show. He did some weird juggling and random knife tricks. Most interestingly, he announced to the audience that he doesn't get paid at all by Covent Gardens to do what he is doing. He is doing Street Theatre. He commented on how Street Theatre is the most honest form of theatre. Thus, after the perforamance almost everyone in the audience came and dropped a pound or two in his hat. Lets see there were about a hundred people watching... that equals one or two hundred pounds... hmm.. not bad for a twenty minute show. The finale of this guys show invloved pulling a table cloth out from underneath a bunch of dishes. I tried to capture the moment on film...
