Toy rope
 
A toy tightrope Walker:
 
1 cardboard figure; 2 — wheel-pulley; 3 — wheel; 4 — wire clip 5 — Shoe-weighting (clay or metal washer)

 
Approximately at knee level to the figure attaches the wire clips from the right axle stud with a wheel-pulley in the middle. This wheel can be found among the remnants of broken miniature cars; to cut it out of sheet plastic or just glue the two cardboard circles with opposing bevels on the edge, forming a groove.
 
But if collected in this way with a figure to put on a stretched string, it will still drop — top will chip and will fill the figure. To become a Walker, you need heavier legs. “Wear” them in plasticine shoes or glue on each leg on a metal washer, even on steeply sloping or poorly tensioned string tightrope Walker will run steadily, without falling.
