This knife-juggling busker used to amaze waterfront visitors. Now the space houses a broken sculpture amid Harbourfront Centre’s budget woes

Kyle Sipkens once stood on a bed of nails, looking out on Lake Ontario as he juggled razor-sharp knives, entertaining locals and tourists alike who flock to the Harbourfront Centre each summer. 

“It’s more scenic than any theatre could ever be,” he said. “There’s nothing like it, because instead of having a captive audience in a dark room … you have to be more interesting than everything else that’s happening.”
