Once he begins his drawing, he does so with a flourish, completing a perfect circle in one smooth swoop. However, the best part of the performance comes after he finishes drawing his perfect circle and one of his assistants feigns awe so great that they faint and need to be carried off the stage. Watch a perfect circle get drawn with aplomb below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5720321/kid-draws-perfect-circle-talent-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5720321/kid-draws-perfect-circle-talent-show/"},"headline":"Gifted Kid Aces Talent Show By Turning Drawing a Perfect Circle Into a Spectacular Performance","datePublished":"2019-11-06T21:36:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:02.065Z","description":"It's all about execution","url":"https://time.com/5720321/kid-draws-perfect-circle-talent-show/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2524c108283233f6/698a056a096a9477dc6a73ba/kid-draws-perfect-circle-for-talent-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2524c108283233f6/698a056a096a9477dc6a73ba/kid-draws-perfect-circle-for-talent-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Open Mic","caption":"Open Mic","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5720321/kid-draws-perfect-circle-talent-show/","name":"Gifted Kid Aces Talent Show By Turning Drawing a Perfect Circle Into a Spectacular Performance"}}]}] ```
