Mime Artists

Mime is a form of entertainment that incorporates a performer trying to portray a story while staying completely mute. A traditional mime has their face painted white with black exaggerating the features including eyes and eyebrows.
Mimes have been portrayed in film to be sad and confused this all changed when Charlie Chaplin changed the outlook of the emotion the audience absorbs while watching.
Mime's in the modern day are rarly to seen on TV or as street performers as the silent films are less popular and hardly seen and most circus street performers do more exciting tricks such as juggling and fire twirling.
It used to be one of the only forms of entertainment, but the advancement of entertainment and technology has outlived the need for mines in the entertainment industry, now they are mostly seen at the circus and at carnivals. 

Circus Street Performers

Street performances such as "The Secret Circus" perform on a public platform to entertain large audiences in areas such as farmers markets and festivals. Most street performances follow themes, for example, this duo combines both circus acts and Mission Impossible music to create a interesting environment and engulfs the audience's attention. Circus performers must have something that sets them apart from all over street performers, for example, their style or particular trick.

Street performers don't always have such big audiences or crowd. Some work on a smaller scales such as: card illusionists, mimes, ventriloquists, jugglers and contortionists. 

Small scale acts, such as card illusionists and ventriloquists, rely on the audience to be engulfed by the trick.
