Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents IlluscinationSM, a fantasy-filled world where magic and daring create the most unexpected experiences. Illuscinator David DaVinci takes audiences to a world that combines thrills and wonderment with the outlandish fun of the circus.
David DaVinci thrills audiences with eye-popping illusions, mind-blowing transformations, and unique up-close magic, all mysteriously interwoven throughout the show. This modern Houdini even attempts to escape a straightjacket while suspended three stories in the air above a den of lions.
DaVinci is the only Illuscinator who performs with a feathered flock of 10 rare and colorful birds including a Toucan, African Grey, Cockatoos, and Macaws that can only be seen at Illuscination! Guided by DaVinci, these winged performers take flights of fantasy around the arena and even perform illusions of their own.
All the action in Illuscinationtakes place just a few feet away from your seat. Audience members' eyes will be transfixed high above the center of the ring as they witness acts whose feet never come close to touching the ground. Viktoriya and Widny, the Hairdaring Duo, execute an unbelievable extreme hair hang an amazing 35 ft in the air. The Sky-High Sensation, Francleib Rodriques, is a courageous daredevil who walks, upside down, across the ring, without a safety harness, three stories above the audience.
