Well, summer is upon us which means many city streets will be alive with festivals and street performers. Although gaining popularity in North America, busking seems much more popular in Europe where busking is thought to have originated when local merchants would invite entertainers to perform in front of their stores to draw in customers.
Seems to me, whenever I hit a street festival, there is always one act that draws upon not just talent, but the sex appeal of the performers. Jugglers Jérémy Olivier and Thomas Lafitte (Cie Toi d'Abord) without a doubt have plenty of both. You can see more of them on vimeo HERE:

The story goes that the guys luggage was lost on route to the festival leading them to perform naked....personally, I think it was an excuse to add a few more balls!
