Discovering Strolling Magician Orlando And Key West

By Thomas Lewis


When it comes to street performers, there are a number of entertainment districts in the United States where these individuals perform. In one case, visitors to Florida will most likely encounter a strolling magician Orlando. For, while there are a number of amusement parks, a great deal of fun can also be found in the Orlando entertainment district.

While Orlando has a great entertainment district, the nightly sunset celebration in Key West has been honoring the setting of the sun for years. While this is the case, it was as early as the 19th century when John Audubon made Key West sunsets famous through articles and photographs. For, some of the most amazing, and often considered magical sunsets take place in Key West.

Most locals believe it was actually Tennessee Williams whom inspired the celebration. For, the playwright and poet could be found adoring the Sun and applauding as it sank below the horizon each evening. Regardless, the sunset celebration which started years ago has now become a huge success.

Whether loving live African drum and dance, music of an island flair, singer songwriters, six-string guitar players, a one person band or bagpipes, there is often something for everyone at this ongoing nightly event. Every night, the variety of music provides the soundtrack to what has been an ongoing celebration for years. While most of these individuals are local performers, there can also be a number of visiting musicians and performers during different times of the year.

Recently, danger acts have become more popular, most likely due to the thrills people have experienced while watching such acts on American's Got Talent or similar shows. For, there are often fire dancers, jugglers, knife throwers, magicians, uni-cyclists, stunt people, high wire acts and hand balancers performing in the square. One of the acts which has become a favorite among locals and visitors is that of cats whom jump through hoops of fire while performing tricks which are unique and unusual for most felines.

Individuals attending the celebration often find comedy troupes, poets and storytellers among the entertainers. While this is the case, the performers can often be transients which can be good as there can often be new and different performers each and every evening. Whereas, as might be expected, local and traveling street performers are often working for tips so gratuities are always appreciated unless otherwise advised.

It should be noted that individuals busking or working for tips might also need to obtain a permit. The requirement often varies from city to city and state to state. As such, to avoid being fined, it is important to know whether or not a permit is required before setting up a spot in the entertainment district of any city or town in America.

Mallory Square and the city of Key West have been intertwined for years. In fact, many see them as being one in the same. For, without Mallory Square and the sunset celebration, Key West just would not be the same. Whereas, without all the people whom perform, work, vend at and attend the sunset celebration, it would not have become as successful or as popular as it is today.
