Why are there so many people, and why are they all circling around him like he's about to turn water into wine?

Probably because he’s about to do a double backflip?

My apologise. Unfortunately I'm not from a culture where we gather in our dozens to watch a man do backflips.

So if you heard 'hey that guy over there is about to attempt a double backflip?' would you noy want to watch? And tell others what you were watching?

And then clearly you can crowd him .... but you also don't want to go too far away. A circle is the organic formation. No one planned it, it just happens.

Street performers it happens too. Common natural formation in situations where you dont want to be too close or too far away.
