    Many years ago, I saw a 65 year old Karl Wallenda walk a high wire across Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. Halfway across, he stopped and did a headstand on the wire. I don’t think you’ll see any silly magicians trying that.

    People won’t buy tickets just to see you walk back and forth on a rope. You have to do more than that to keep them entertained for more than a minute or two. Take a look at this Ukrainian lady on the slack rope:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdHaQMjmUkg

    Can you do that? If you can, would anyone want to see you do it?
