Most street performances is build up in 3 parts. ALL PARTS are very imporant:

Cathering a crowd: A good way is noise not only from you but also from them. This is just the start of your build up. Let your audience know its just your start up and you're going to show much more wow.
Keeping the crowd: The actual show. Keep them occupied and interested. BUt let them kno the highlight is still to come. When people start walking away it is certainly time for part 3.
Get them to pay you: Have your hatlines ready. I think you should already start with them before you show your highlight. People want to see the highlight so therefor they want to stay but they also know that after that the hat will go round and it would be very iompolite to walk away at that time. Let them know your a professional, this is your way to make a living so if you gave them a great time you did a good job and a good job should be payed well.
