But not everyone wants to be entertained/approached. I mean, if you've struck up a friendly conversation with them, and they seem to have the time/patience to watch you perform, sure, go ahead. But asking someone on the street randomly if they'd like to see some magic just seems extremely rude, to me. Have you guys done much street performing, before?
