Street Statue's.
The first time I came across the live street statue's was in Antwerp seems this import from Europe can be seen in most city centres across the country now.Many are very good but the one that amazes most people and myself is this guy who is suspended in the air.I have seen people passing their hands beneath him looking for an invisible stand.He is holding what is like a walking stick,Iwonder does something go up his coat sleeve and somehow go underneath him to make a chair.Obviously the base comes into it like some kind of cantilever.Anybody seen this one and what do you think keeps him up.
Regards.
Jim.B.

Re: Street Statue's.
I believe it is a chair Jim, the vertical rod goes along his left arm across the shoulder and down to a seat, you can just see the backrest, the flowers on the ground on a steel rim are the counter lever
