Street performer

I know i've alreay responded to the heading that is street style but this lad has more street style than anyone i can think of. Firstly i'm going to reccomend that you all check out his blog, it's actually really inspiring, well worth a read, http://www.thoughtsofanalchemist.blogspot.com/. His blog is rather thought provoking and i'm sure you'll all enjoy it. And now i'm going to tell you why i have choosen as 'street style'. He is a street performer, performing magic, and he has kindly let me have a short video of him performing on the street, make sure you give this a look.

Now for most people this would be enough reson to choose him fro street style but he also does Parkour, which you all must have heard of. But just incase this is a description in his own words; Parkour (L'art du deplacement) is moving from point A to point B as fast as efficiently as possible. It's exploring different ways to move through, past and around objects. It's making your own path from point to point; it’s the freedom of movement. It's breaking the limitations that society tries to put on your mind, if you watch the way an adult and then a child walks from one place to another see the difference, 9 times outta 10 the adult will walk in as straight a line as possible, keeping their feet firmly on the ground. Where as a child will walk on walls, climb over stuff etc. Because children are oblivious to such limitations. And being a Traceur means seeing past those limitations and exploring other ways to get around.It makes you feel free and gives you the feeling of being liberated. You’re breaking the mould and being yourself. Despite what other people may think of you. It also teaches you to surpass mental barriers, not only in Parkour but in every day life. It teaches you too overcome what you feel your limitations are. If you feel you can’t accomplish something at work, Parkour teaches you to overcome such obstacles.

As it seems i can't get the links for the video's to wrok so please follow these links and have a look.

And i know i still haven't told you his name, It took me a long time to learn his real name, and even now, i don't call him it. Instead, as a performer he's referred as 'The shadow' and that's what we shall call him.
