the street performer walk across/on the burning hot coals.

I was amazed as I watched the street performer walk across/on the burning hot coals.



Do both across and on fit in with the above the context? If yes, are there marginal differences in meaning? Thanks.

"Walked across" - went from one side to the other/another side.

"Walked on" - the hot coals were the surface on which he is walking.

Thanks, Anglika.
Do you imply that both work in the sample?

Yes, they could. Depends on your context.

Thanks, Anglika.
