"All eyes may have been on Madonna at the start of her Super Bowl XLVI halftime show, but when the pop diva launched into her hit &amp;quot;Music,&amp;quot; a relative unknown performer named Andy Lewis took center stage.\r\n\r\nBalancing on a wire tightrope, Lewis -- who goes by the stage name Sketchy Andy -- performed a series of tricks while dressed in a white toga as Madge looked on.\r\nDifferent from tightrope walking, the practice of slackening involves a stretchy bit of nylon wire that allows for more of a trampoline effect during tricks.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I started slacklining in 2004, it was my favorite hobby in 2005, my lifestyle in 2006, and since then it has pretty much absorbed me entirely,&amp;quot; Utah&amp;apos;s Lewis, 25, writes on the Website FiveTen.com.\r\nExtreme athlete Lewis has reportedly signed on to perform 100 more shows with Madonna, but Sunday wasn&amp;apos;t his first time in front of the camera.\r\n\r\nIn 2011, the 6&amp;apos;2&amp;quot; performer showed off his death-defying stunts thousands of feet off the ground -- sometimes while naked -- as part of the 2011 Reel Rock DVD."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
