Slackwire Acrobat, 1885

The Great Layton. No photographer credited, dated 1885. Tightrope walking, also called funambulism, is the art of walking along a thin wire or rope. It has a long tradition in various countries and is commonly associated with the circus. Slackwire or slackrope is a type of wire or rope walking where the support is flexible or slack. The tension on the wire or rope is mainly provided by the weight of the performer and their props. The difference in technique required to maintain balance on a slackwire is that the performer moves the wire under their center of mass. The flexibility of the wire or rope allows the performer to achieve this.
