Busking is quite an adventure. You need to have something that attracts attention. Appearance is important, as you don't want to look like a complete bum, so as to not be unapproachable, but if you dress up too nicely, you look like you don't need the $.

People like singers, so if you can sing that is a huge plus, also having a rep that is going to be popular. If you have all the above, and are in a busy area, you can make a living busking.

For a busker? Yep. I know plenty of guys who don't make that much at a 4 hour gig. $120 for each is pretty sweet.
