Street performance or busking is the act of performing in public places for gratuities. In many countries the rewards are generally in the form of money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given. Street performance is practiced all over the world and dates back to antiquity.

Yup, they collect money from the crowd and the volunteers that stand in the middle too. If u don’t donate as a volunteer, they pull u from the center and have u stand off to the side. I saw this method done in NYC before.
