Here he is finishing his sidewalk routine. i know it's his sidewalk show by what i see on the table.
He has a larger show and his larger show is hands down the best cups and balls I ever saw.
He is my favorite cups and balls performer. His larger show finales with everything you see on the table plus a key of "coke" [salt], a huge slew of coins, and thousands of marbles, all of which listed of course flows from the cups.
orinally paul began as a giant circle act walking glass and various other stuff. he is good friends with peppe, sonny holliday, and several other edgey street performers.
He is a true sidewalk performer, bangin out show after perfect show raking in the respect, awe and laughter of his audiences.
You probably wont catch any footage of him, he's too old school to allow filming.
I have squatted with him and some other performers for a while in London.
the thing about Paul is he is real London, every town has it's icon. for example Dr. John is real New Orleans and Tom Waites is real old time american city.......Paul is real London. when i think of inner city London culture or cockney or rhyme slang which he taught me and I ain't tellin a porky....I think of Paul.
A TRUE FRIEND.
he follows the rules of the street like his bible and the thugs tremble with respect.
one of the most original and old school sidewalk acts in the world, a world class talent as Sonny Holliday calls him.
Highest point in my career was meeting Paul.......Lord Lucan.
