Hat-flipping escapologist


I caught about 20 minutes of this guy on The Lawns yesterday. His main act is escapology but the real shtick was his humour, which was irresistible. There must have been 200 or 300 people watching him and I reckon everyone there had a continuous chuckle going on throughout his act. He was effortlessly amusing - appealing to toddlers, drunks, grandparents, families and passing cyclists equally it seemed to me - a genuine entertainer. Not half bad as an escapologist either. The only thing he wasn't so great at was catching a hat flipped from his foot while in chains at the top of a ladder. It took him at least four attempts to catch it.
