The clowns come on and single file walks along an imaginary wire on the floor.
They use the standard umbrella to help balance themselves and make the
walking look difficult. After they all finish, the clowns come forward and take their
bows.
Ringmaster: “That was an amazing, skillful performance, but I thought it was
suppose to be a high wire act.” Clown: “Yes, that’s true, but we’re afraid of
heights “
