sign spinner

Human billboard twirler

A sign spinner is a person hired to stand on a street corner or sidewalk holding an advertising sign, typically spinning, flipping, or waving it to attract attention.

The job combines physical showmanship with marketing—skilled spinners develop acrobatic tricks with their signs.

There was a sign spinner outside the new pizza place doing flips with the arrow.
