Malls are private property. Unless you check with management you'll be run
off before you finish the first variation. Beyond that, local laws and
attitudes vary greatly. San Francisco used to be famous for street
musicians and performers. (Robin Williams is a graduate) and so is New
York. Each locale will have to be checked individually and in general I
would guess it would be a pretty rough go.
