Type:
Wire walking.
The balancer does not get the recognition he deserves for his work, but this may be due to his lack of showmanship and uncertainty in performing. The Cuban is a large man and his lack of speed may also hinder the act. While he is a good wire walker, he spends too much time on each act and his tricks vary little. He is capable of so much more.
