This is Aladin. to my amazement, he said he’d only been practising with the glass ball for about a year, although sometimes for hours at a time. He’s from Poland originally, but now he lives in Tenerife because he’s in love with the golden Fairy.
There were a couple of other living statues that did a better job of staying immobile (in my opinion) but were less interesting when they came to life.
And then there was the alien. He had a set of scary teeth, but unfortunately I didn’t manage to capture them on film.
And the sailor was very cool, too.
This is the third year they’ve held this competition, and it seems to be getting more popular each year. So there’s every chance there’ll be another next year, which is fine by me.
