For his latest feat, the professional daredevil is going to try to do an unharnessed tightrope walk high above the beach in Atlantic City, N.J. Atlantic City tourism officials are hoping 50,000 or more people show up to watch Thursday, Aug 9, 2012, as Wallenda attempts to traverse a line connecting the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel to the Tropicana Casino & Resort.[Photo/Agencies]

Professional daredevil Nik Wallenda has completed an unharnessed tightrope walk high above the beach in Atlantic City.

Thousands of people gathered to watch the attempt, including in boats, a helicopter and two banner planes. Wallenda traversed line connecting cranes in front of the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel and the Tropicana Casino & Resort.

His tight rope was 100 feet in the air and 1,300 feet long.

In June, Wallenda wowed the masses when he did a similar stunt 200 feet above Niagara Falls.
