    Hats off to him, whatever support he is using it's still not easy to stand in the pose for such a long time and the change in posture to show gratitude for the people donating money those swings are not easy at all. Awesome and shows his dedication towards what he is doing

    Doesn’t matter how it’s done. It took some ingenuity to design a rig like that to give the appearance of holding the shovel to support his weight. The moves he performs look flawless. And I don’t believe I could stand in the same spot like he does for more than 30 minutes. Fantastic Job.

      I don't think many choose this. About what I know, they live under bad circumstances, have to get up early in order to get a licence, always in the rival with other entertainers, musicians etc.
      You always have to rely on the people giving you money. If you don't make enough, you can't eat or buy another license to do your show.
      It is a very hard buisness and people doing it are usually poor and helpless and try to find a way to get to money in order to survive and live.
      I could be wrong tho, I'm just a UA-cam comment, not a scientific study. I never met a real street performer, just what I heard and saw;)

Also that's why he has silver paint on everything cause it has metal in it. It's onto a guess. what do you think of my idea? It also looks a lot like magnets the way he flips horizontal and kind of sticks there.

  • @deezynar
    @deezynar 3 роки тому +535

    My theory is that he wears a climber's harness through his crotch, so he is essentially sitting all the time. He has a steel tube inside his left coat sleeve that attaches to the stub that's welded to the shovel handle, shown at 3:28. The top of the tube in his sleeve gets hooked to hinge attached to a steel frame that encircles his torso below his armpits. The hinge is probably just a round steel stub that gets slipped into a round socket. The climber's harness is hung from that encircling frame.
    I believe that he connected the tube in his sleeve to the frame around his chest at 3:58 in the video. Before that, he was moving his arm freely out to the side. After that, his arm only rotates forward and back.
    His center of gravity is below the pivot line, which is just below his arm pits. That means he has to muscle himself into the prone position, which must take some real strength.
    Knowing how it's done adds to the respect for the engineering involved. And it does not remove respect for how much strength it takes, or how uncomfortable it must be to hang there in that hot clothing.

      I agree. I also love that you acknowledge you have more respect for him after knowing how it's done. I'm the sort of fellow that wants to figure out magic tricks - this is the entertainment factor for me. I will never understand people that think this spoils the experience. Sorry, but I'm not content to be ignorant and pretend magic is real. Exercising your mind is a good thing. Truly appreciating the skill it takes to perform a trick can't happen unless you examine it.

    I hope your aware that the "magic" exists in the act. It also exists in the hearts and minds of little children that walk by. It exists for the person that is lonely and just wants to be noticed or notice something. The magic is also in the adults as they argue politely with the stranger next them about how is he doing that. And finally the magic is in the heart of the performer. He carries it with him anywhere he goes. (the magic) He keeps it alive in his act. If you still do not believe in his magic powers then answer one simple question. How many people and strangers did you make smile today? Because he does it every day for hundreds if not thousands of passers by. Thank you good sir.

    He has a mechanism attached to the Shovel handle. It moves with the motion of his arm. When hes putting the glove "away" hes locking / unlocking it in. His arm will either stay in a 90,45 or straight angle. This keeps his body balanced. I'm guessing it also helps relieve some stress by attaching said mechanism to his spine area. Besides that, I'm sure he has abnormal core and upper body strength.

      Bet he doesn't pay tax on that money
      Imagine how much he makes
      All those hard working people are on pennies working in hospitals helping suffering people and this guy gets a fortune for standing on a stick

      @@NoLefTurnUnStoned. There is a rod connected by a hinge to the shovel handle. It runs up the inside of his sleeve to a harness he's wearing under his jacket. The hing allows him to lean forward in a bow when people donate money. He's basically hanging from his armpits and doing a short plank when someone drops a coin.

    I can explain it better I think, here how it goes:
    For him to perform the trick he does is to first learn how to fly, once he master's that, he then needs that stick to somewhat make things believable and to make sense of things. So yeah that's all there is to it

    I don't know if this guy is actually getting paid for doing this performance because I gotta tell you if he isn't and he is just doing it to entertain people either way he's got my most deepest respect for going through all this work for the mere purpose of making somebody else's life a little more happy 😉, kudos to him and a round of applause 👏👏👏
