Okay, her stands were up. Now...she had to check their taught...ness. She glimpsed at the crowd quickly as she ran her fingers along the rope and snapped it twice to prove to herself it was safe for Goylie to try.
She picked Goylie up and held him on her hip as she announced, "For his first trick, Goylie will do a balancing act!" She turned her face from the crowd and gently placed Goylie on the rope. She held him still and unmoving with one hand while the other, her left, aimed her wand at him to cast the spell. "Piertotum Locomotor!" Immediately she saw the change in her rocky friend. He wobbled on the line briefly, still settling into his mobile body.
"Aha! Very good, Goylie! Now... balance!" she commanded and removed her hands. She almost couldn't watch, afraid he might fall and break on the ground. But she knew she MUST watch, so that she could save him if he needed her. But, he seemed to be doing okay, a bit shaky but he was still hanging in there. Or, standing in there, on there, rather.
