Las Vegas Sun: Mathieu Guyard’s safety hinges on the effectiveness of Kevlar wiring with a minimum breaking strength of 7,000 pounds, high-speed winches and performer-held controls that raise and lower the French-born acrobat as fast as 11 feet per second.
At 5 feet 9 and a very fit 162 pounds, he’ll rise as high as 50 feet above the “Ka” theater stage at the MGM Grand, directed by a stage manager who utters cues to the actors via lightweight earpieces that receive radio signals. The audience of 1,800 people takes it all in from seats with multiple speakers behind and in front of them.
