The Waterloo Busker Carnival has wrapped up for another year.

Performers from around the world wowed crowds with their extraordinary stunts over three days.

Mat Ricardo says he started juggling after watching other performers.

“I got into it when I was a teenager and I saw a street performer and the first few shows… I wanted to be his biggest fan. By the end of the week I wanted to be him.”

Ricardo says the best part of the job is the unpredictability.

Crowds also enjoyed midway rides, games and carnival food.
