  1. Very nice shot. I wonder if slackwire is harder than right rope--seems like it would be, but I know nothing about it.

  2. Is the little one is part of the audience or part of the act? Very cute!

  3. It all looks laid back and relaxing, except I wouldn't want to be the one walking the rope. It's kind of funny. The little guy wants to perform, too, but he's not ready for a rope, either. I like the expression on the performer's face. He looks amused.

  4. @ Jacob, Stine - No, they usually pick a kid and someone from the audience, just to involve more people, keeping them from walking away.
    @ Mary - It's probably safer, but it looks harder to me...
    @ tapirgal - I have seen this guy many times since: he's very good at it, he can juggle daggers on that rope!
