  • The performer was playing his guitar and singing a song in a street. He politely asked a guy, who bought a cup of coffee next to him, to give him his change, but the guy ignored him and just walked past. The street performer then continued playing, when suddenly a Leprechaun appears behind him in a bush. The Leprechaun, Connor, granted some luck to the street performer. Suddenly, a wind came up that slammed his guitar case shut and blew away a piece of paper. Under it, there was some money, which the performer picked up.
  • People performing stunts on streets (say, a One-Man Band) in order to get money from spectators, often seen at any renaissance fair. Also known as "buskers" in Ireland (a word ultimately of Celtic and Iberian origin). One common element is having a hat (or some other container) out in front in which passersby can toss money into. Commonly an Acceptable Target in the mass media, likely to be stigmatized either as New Age Retro Hippie or "wannabe performer with no talent". However, quite a few of these artists have become successful and even world-famous. Examples of Street Performer include:
