| Description: | THE TIGHTROPE WIZARD - Just twelve years old, but already an expert 'on the wire' with an uncanny sense of balance. L/S's of the young boy walking across a tightrope. He performs several stunts on the rope which include the "side crawl", and jumping over a chair and landing back on the rope on the other side. His finale involves walking up a wire which is fastened to a pole that is 50 feet high, he then slides backwards down the pole all the way to the ground. C/U of the boy saying that he is more scared of talking in front of the camera than he is of walking tightropes. | |
