Slack Rope or Slack Wire is a special type of wire or rope walking, in fact the opposite of "Tight Rope" walking[1]. where the support is flexible or 'slack', and thus requires other skills. Often used by clowns and comedians as a circus or vaudeville act. It was particularly popular in the mid-1800s.
A modern form of the slack rope is an extreme sport version, which arose in the late 1970s, and the activity is called "Slacklining"[2].
