Street magician performs for little girl—her impromptu gesture left viewers in tears
Every job deserves recognition, no matter how big or small. Every person is out there, giving it their best shot at every task and appreciation makes a difference. A statue performer who goes by @mimedanshaku and is known as dancer Baron has been creatively putting out his performance on the streets every night. Sharing glimpses of his interactions with passersby, he tries to put a smile on their faces with simple magic tricks, an enthusiastic smile and a vibrant impression. When a little girl witnessed his talent, she decided to respond with a priceless gesture, all out of innocence, and it has people in awe.
The video captured the little girl staring at the man’s work before she walked up to him to give him a tip. When he noticed her looking intently at him, he got into a full performance mode. He mimed and bent down to meet the girl at eye level and shook her hand. After the greeting, he continued with simple magic tricks to try and put a smile on the child’s face. From the handshake came a magical, glowing mini object. He played around with it, making it disappear from one hand and appear in the next. Getting the little girl to participate, he gestured her hand towards his and in seconds, magically got the object to disappear again.
He then picked up a steel box and opened it facing towards the girl, only to find the object right there, glowing away. The excited little girl was impressed by the act. It was time for her to leave. It was a short encounter that could have been temporarily entertaining and then forgotten about. However, she decided to add to it with a priceless gesture. Before she could depart, she reached out her arms and gave the performer a tight hug full of love. Though he had his mask and costume on, with his head tilted and him gently bending to return the hug, one could tell he had melted instantly.
He proceeded to give the girl a high five and looked at her in awe before she walked away. The performer captioned the video, “A little treat,” and undoubtedly, it left viewers stunned and in awe. There were not many words, given that his role was to be a mime. The little girl, too, didn’t have much to say. However, their expressions and acts of love revealed humanity at its finest. @kiyo.99 said, “A hug is a magic that makes the viewer feel happy too.” @haruharu3716 added, “I was soothed by the cuteness this morning.” Others noted how the little girl was able to sense a warmth and kindness from the performer, evoking the delightful response.
@god_jultomten said, “The Baron's kind personality is conveyed to innocent little children, so they naturally end up hugging him.” @te547654 said that the gesture will leave a mark on the child’s heart in the long run and remarked, “I wonder what they'll think when they get a little older. Such a pure expression of emotion. It's heart-pounding.” @turuturupapa said, “The hug at the end made my heart flutter.”
