Pointed Performance

This guy in Glasgow's Buchanan Street pedestrian precinct today was a marvelous performer. His patter was impressive and he had the massive crowd wrapped around his little finger.
He managed to get a little boy to test the bed of nails, but explained that if the child was killed during the test he would help the mum make a new one. :-) You had to be there...We put in two or three pounds. But he gave the boy £5 for helping him out!
