This weekend was the annual Buskers Carnival in Waterloo. We were pretty busy getting ready for the BBQ we were hosting, but we managed to go out and see five acts on Thursday evening, and then four more acts on Saturday morning. After the BBQ, we also went out to see the "Naughty No-No" late night show, hosted by the Aerial Angels.

One of the acts that really caught our attention was Charlie Caper, a magician from Sweden. He was extremely good at what he did, and some of the tricks he did were really stunning. I'm still scratching my head over a stunt he did with a can of Pepsi. He opened a can, poured out the contents, then dented the can a bit. Then, holding the open, empty, dented can right out in front for everyone to see, he made it undent itself, close itself, and then he opened it again and gave it to an audience member and it was full again.

Anyway, it was a very slick performance!

What are those little white airplane looking things at the bottom by the
sidewalk?

Good spotting - those are actually airplanes!  I wasn't close for that part of
the show, but from a distance it looked like he had one tethered to a post on a
helmet he was wearing, so that one was buzzing around his head, then he had the
other one on a tether that he held in his hand, so he was swinging that one
around vertically so that they just missed each other... and then they collided
(not sure if that was on purpose or by accident), so then that segment of the
show was over.	:)
