Begging for money...
American Idol reject Magic Cyclops has been spotted panhandling on the site of the road in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Cyclops auditioned for Idol by playing air guitar and firing confetti out of his pants in Aspen last month. The judges rejected him and now he's panhandling. He said since his rejection on Idol, no one wants to hire him because "now people know I don't have the talent I thought I had."
He says after reading an article about how homeless people make up to $30,000 a year from begging, he decided to do the same. He earned $0.35 on his first day. He currently lives at home with his parents, owns a car, cellphone, and a computer.
