I don't know, it seams more of a circus show. They should have a permanent tight walker at Niagara Falls, 4 crossings each day to draw tourists. Or get some people from Cirque du Soleil do do shows on top of the falls.
"Antonio Farini" was actually a Canadian named William Leonard Hunt and outdid Blondin's tricks; later he was the first known white man to cross the Kalahari Desert on foot and survive
William Leonard Hunt,,, known as the Great Farini(Signara) was a man with Many Many talents,he invented the now famous theater seats, he found acts for the BARNAME BAILY CIRCUS,,, . One day a twelve yr. Old boy went to see his uncle laying in his bed,with a fever & being quite sick. The lad,,, being curious,,had asked his 90 yr.old a question,,,,, Are you going to die Uncle Farini,, the pretty fit 90 yr.old Uncle replied ,I suspect I'am going to be around for awhile,,,(not to worry). A week later,,at 90 yr.s the INFAMOUS THE GREAT FARINI,,, aka William Leonard Hunt was dead. The 12 yr. old boy was my Father,,, William Edward Hunt , I being the Great Great Nephew of my Uncle Farini,,(William Leonard Hunt),,, Robert Hunt. Sean Peacock,,wrote the book ,,& Jay Cochrane did the re-enactment of William Leonard,,walking tight-rope across the Ganaraska River,, Port Hope where

If he made it, it's because God allowed it, not because he's that great!
Fuck you. He did it because he can. Not because some imaginary sky daddy allowed it! Grow the fuck up and quit be;over in fairy tale nonsense.

Farini did NOT out-do Blondin. He was shaky on his ropes and everyone called him out on it.
