Have you read this book?

[JDP]

I read a fantasy book (or books, can't remember) when I was a kid involving a young protagonist who meets up with a group of (I think) travelling performers. Turns out they're on some quest (surprise) or something. One of the guys threw knives blindfolded but was actually blind underneath. Can't really remember anything else about it though. Any clue as to the book/series? I probably read it 15 years ago or so. I'm pretty sure it was a kids/YA book. Oh, and there may have been a magic sword (that clarifies thing, eh?). For some reason, the colour green is associated with the book in my mind (may be colour of cover, or something in plot).

Help!?!

Only thing that springs to mind is "At Amberleaf Fair"by Phyills Ann Karr or if it was a short linked story one of the "Liavek series" books Ed.by Will Shetterly & Emma Bull.
