Street performer Samuel Gutierrez, 37, holds sharp metal blades as he prepares to juggle amid midday traffic in San Salvador on April 17, 2026. Samuel says that after ten years in the trade, he has performed on the main streets and avenues of San Salvador, earning between $5 and $10 a day, an income he supplements by selling bracelets and handicrafts he makes himself to cover his family’s expenses.
