Video: Busker with a flaming tuba

These days, the odd busker is something that's not uncommon on the streets of the cities, but this has to be the coolest one we've seen.

Every now and then, a crowd gathers on the street (normally blocking everyone in the process) to see a pretty cool busking act. This guy doesn't seem to have that big a crowd, but he has certainly taken the art to a new level.

Despite the unwanted attention of a drunk guy who won't leave him alone, this guy proceeds to play a tune on the tuba, as he shoots flames out the top of it with each note.

We'd throw a few quid in his case for the slick tuxedo he's got on, never mind the fireworks display!
