in and on the street?

In the US, we would use on the street, but I don't know about British rules.

...in the street.

It's "in the street". A Senior Member from England answered my question. I asked this because I saw a Youtube video called 'A magician on the street in Chicago' posted by an American English teacher. Someone who studies and teaches the language asked him why "on" instead of "in the street". I knew there were differences between AmE and BrE in this grammar point, but I needed to make sure.

The phrase "(out) on the streets/street" (informal) means being without a home, outside, not in house or other building.

Maybe this American English teacher want to talk about the magician who has no home to come or/and lives in the street - yes, I

Thanks for the additional information, Sica.

This is the teacher's explanation: If something is "in the street," it's among the vehicles and in an unsafe place. Someone or something "on the street" is at a distance that's a little safer--like the sidewalk. There are some very fine differences between "in" and "on."

This is exactly right for American English.
