heart infidelix is a street rapper from denton texas who makes his money busking in subways and train stations one day he quit his day job as a waiter and bought a one-way ticket to spain busking his way across europe with dreams of sharing his raps with the rest of the world it was a station in berlin germany that he crossed paths with singer sylvia rodriguez who heard his soulful bars over the beat of a song by the band phantagram and felt compelled to join in with the now famous performance these two strangers jamming went viral on youtube after sylvia uploaded their chance encounter despite their newfound fame several copyright issues arose for the star-crossed musicians over the rights of the song because only one half of the duo uploaded the video legal problems aside we still think this musical performance is stunning what's the best busking performance you've seen in the subway tell us about it in the comment section below isaac ho our next amazing street performer is really good okay okay bad pun aside isaac hoe is a true master of his craft and watching him spin in this stunning wheel is absolutely mesmerizing this awesome ring is called a sear wheel and isaac the taiwanese-born american performance artist has been taking his spinning talents out on the road his background involves ballet jazz tango the brazilian martial art capoeira and even flame throwing but this may be the most challenging of all the disciplines he's chosen it took him a full year of practice before he was able to perform in public and let's be honest you need some real core strength to be able to whiz through the streets in the sear wheel hoe loves his unusual and highly physical career and says the reason i wanted to become a street performer is because i saw it as a job without an unpleasant boss having a great deal of freedom a way to travel well we're just glad that ho is sharing his graceful gift with the rest of the world just call him the lord of the rings we kind of want to give it a go after watching isaac spinning around the streets of taiwan how do you think you would do in the wonderful sear wheel gordo drummer an ordinary drummer from australia found himself

street performances as well as learn a bit of bucket drumming through his tutorials when you've got an empty tub of paint anyway south african street performers this bunch of south african street performers call their troop the soweto skeleton movers and they have some truly mesmerizing tricks one youtube commenter even jokingly said this was their last performance they were locked up after this time for practicing witchcraft yeah the work they do is magical and totally breathtaking from levitating hats in the hair to contorting their bodies like rubber these talented dancers used their limbs as skipping ropes and hula hoops and their moves seemed completely impossible do these guys have any bones at all the skeleton movers took inspiration from the south african dance style pantula which originated in soweto in the 1950s commuters in the township developed their own unique moves down in isporapera which was inspired by jumping on and off of moving trains this was mixed with tap dance and form the roots of the eye-popping moves you see before you today do you think you could pop it and lock it like the soweto skeleton movers contact juggling performers ever since fashigi brought out this seemingly gravity-defying crystal ball performers have been entertaining audiences with this endless boundary pushing tricks but how much talent is involved and how much is due to the ball despite looking like a magical crystal orb this incredible toy is made from clear acrylic and contains lightweight mechanisms that help its user to create physics spending illusions also known as orb rolling dynamic manipulation and spherical balancing this is an art form that requires plenty of practice and patience you can see street performers from all over the world baffling crowds with

stone stock men are local ground pleasers on the australian city's street performance circuit and when it comes to living statues they don't come much better than this talented bunch standing frozen in perfect formation the stockmen don't move an inch as the busy crowds of melbourne rush by and around them one passerby reported that the street artist collected at least five hundred dollars in tips while he stood and watched them at work we don't know about you but we think we'd be totally fooled if we ever walked by the stone stockman in real life they're so convincing ted williams the man with the golden voice this street performer has a captivating story of being lost and found ted williams is a talented voice artist with a kind of silky smooth tone that you would expect to hear in movie trailers i can't be an actor i can't be an on-air personality but the voice just became something of a development over years radio broadcasting or sports commentary however after starting out his career in radio in the 1980s life took a turn for ted when he became homeless he gained viral fame almost a decade ago as the man with the golden voice performing for change at a traffic light with his talents rediscovered he was hired again by the same radio station that gave him his first big break all those years ago wvko in ohio gave the epic street performer a morning talk show called the golden voice show we're glad that his pitch perfect voice can be heard on the airwaves once again [Music] pipe drums if you thought that plumbers were the only ones who made a living working with
