Rope-walker. Medrano made a single recorded appearance in 1812 with Pepin & Breschard. Olympia Dictionary describes his act beginning as: “jumping back and forth on a rope with ankles shackled, balanced 6 wine glasses piled on his head with a ladder atop them; stood on his head on a tumbler placed on the rope; leaped from the gallery to the rope, catching it with his teeth and swinging back and forth.”
