SHEL HIGGENS


Shel Higgens is a true student of the art.

He is a graduate of The Busking School in Cardiff England and a graduate of the Buskers Boot Camp in the US.

He is a student of Michael Patrick one of the few people on planet with over 7000 upside down straitjacket escapes.



He has busked on both the East and West Coast of the United States. Shel is a former business man who thinks that there is nothing in world more fulfilling than entertaining strangers on the street.


A performer whose line "I am not that good" is not just a line. Enjoys watching a good street show as much as performing.

Shel understands, that to become a master, one must be humble first.

this can be very difficult when one is as talented as Shel.

here's a youtube clip.



Recently he has been learning a small sidewalk magic show.

i have been helping him with this.

he feels that to be a great entertainer one must be able to work any venue no matter how large or small.

the magic he does is very original and when i get some footage of his show i will put it up here.

but until i can get that, here's him doing a little cups and balls magic.



Shel is not just a great performer, but a great human being.

if you get a chance to see his show, you will see why so many have so much good to say about him.

If you wanna getta hold of him or find out where he'll be or when, here's his website;
