London receives an average of 30 million visitors each year, so there’s usually something to behold on every corner.

Even if it’s not a landmark, you might see buskers (or street performers) anywhere the tourists can be found.

Some of these buskers display their musical abilities by playing instruments, singing, or dancing. Some dress up in different costumes and entertain the crowd. Some perform circus acts.

And some do whatever they can to entertain the crowd and earn their pay – including inviting those watching to play along.

There have been complaints about buskers being a little aggressive by asking for money, but that’s why buskers now need to apply for a license or permit to busk in London.

As you can see, people are happy to stop for the most part – and one little girl’s participation was caught on camera.

For starters, she’s challenged to some pushups.

But that’s no indication of how elaborate things are about to get.

All we know is that the young girl is from Sweden and was happy to put her skills up against the performers.

If you’re like most people, then doing push-ups can be a challenge. But not for this little girl. She did it easily, just like that! Looks like this busker chose the right person for his challenge.

What’s next?

The busker then positioned himself to do a cartwheel, which he landed successfully. Can the young girl do the same?

Well, it looks like he picked a young gymnast, too, because she proceeded to do several cartwheels. Everybody in the audience cheered. They were loving it!

This young Swedish girl was loving every minute of her time with them.

And she especially loved it when they surprised her by including her in an acrobatic act.

Wait until you see what he does next!

When they asked her to lift her arms up in the air, people had no idea what was going to happen next.

Then one of the people in the group jumped onto the shoulders of his teammate. He grabbed the young girl’s hand and the performer at the bottom held on to the young girl’s waist.

They twirled around with the young girl in mid-air.

This young girl couldn’t believe what was happening and she had a big smile on her face!

She went back to her mom, who had captured what happened with her camera, with a big smile on her face. Who knew, when they planned the trip to visit London, they’d have the chance to experience such a fun time?
