I was wandering around Leeds city centre one afternoon looking for subjects to photograph for the Leeds daily photo when I saw this guy performing on Briggate.
I had not seen him before so I watched his act for a while, he really knew how to attract and work a crowd. He got some people from the audience to chain him up and padlock the chains then climbed up his ladder.
In the picture above you can see this street entertainer, padlocked in chains about to catch his hat on his head. Yes he caught it.
You can see his volunteers from the crowd chaining him up in the image above.
That is one of the great things about the city of Leeds, you just never know what will be happening from day to day. I featured another street entertainer in Leeds city centre a while back.
