Meet The Team

From the Big Top to the Big House, Tino Wallenda brings the thrills of high wire artistry to audiences across the nation and the world. From the world-famous “Flying Wallenda” family, Tino brings his death-defying high wire performance to the big tents as well as prisons of America. At the age of 12, he made his first crossing on the wire 35 feet off the ground. At 17, Tino became a full-fledged member of the Great Wallenda troupe.  Some of the feats Tino has accomplished on the wire are walking over lions, tigers, and man-eating sharks, walking between buildings, over rivers, and a waterfall. His highest walk was over the Denver D &F Tower. It was 189 feet in the air and 3,300 feet wide.

Tino has performed in hundreds of prisons all over the country. Inmates, as well as prison officials, openly receive him and the message he presents from atop the wire. He uses his talents on the high wire to illustrate the importance of focus and perseverance and delivers a personal testimony from his own life, which is very compelling. He is a hit wherever he goes.
