High-wire performer strolls between towers in Fla.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- A world record-holding high-wire performer crossed a 50-foot span between 32-story towers in downtown Fort Myers to promote upcoming performances.
Nik Wallenda is a member of the famous Flying Wallendas circus family. He was nearly 400 feet in the air Friday afternoon when he crossed a wire just five-eighths of an inch thick and strung between the towers of High Point Place. The stunt was a promotion for Circus Sarasota, which is performing in Fort Myers through next Sunday.
The 31-year-old Wallenda set a Guinness world record in October 2008 for the longest distance and greatest height ever traveled by bicycle on a high wire.
Wallenda is a seventh generation high-wire performer. He's the great-grandson of circus legend Karl Wallenda, who fell to his death during a wire walk in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1978
