Found something:
Rope and Spanish Veil act
You're either lifted up from the ground holding onto it, or you start at the top after stepping off a platform into mid-air, holding onto the long banner of cloth that is the Veil itself. It's like doing acrobatics on a cable or heavy rope, only the fabric floats more and you can wrap it around yourself and do a lot more spectacular tricks with it. You can roll up in it and let go, unrolling as you get nearer to the ground until it looks like you're going to crash, only you grab it at the last minute, stopping yourself just short of disaster. No doubt you've seen it done by the acrobats of Cirque du Soleil - they're real artists at it.
