Hunter Square

Throughout the Edinburgh Festival, Hunter Square, at the top of Blair Street beside the Tron Kirk, has been one of the locations for street entertainment, with different acts performing every 30 or 45 minutes.  No charge was made, but the artists invited contributions at the end of their shows.  They attracted large appreciative audiences.

Above is a hooded escapologist.  A member of the audience is helping him to remove his boots before the entertainer crouches inside the red box on the pavement and has the ten swords (lower left) thrust into the box "through him" and out of the other side.
