vicfangirlguide: The French tightrope walker Blondin and his manager. In 1859 he became the first man to cross the gorge below the Niagara Falls on a tightrope. After this first success Blondin repeated the stunt several times while performing more daring tricks including crossing whilst blindfolded, wearing stilts, carrying his petrified manager on his back, pushing a wheelbarrow and on one occasion cooking and eating an omelette.
