Bring your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews to see the newest spectacle from Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey! Illuscination is 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 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.

The mystical DaVinci isn’t the only one who brings the thrills one right after the other. This all-new production showcases captivating performances from daredevils from all over the globe. KungFu Kings combine mixed martial arts with mind-boggling strength to accomplish feats that include twisting solid metal poles around their bodies and diving through hoops of razor-sharp blades blindfolded! The Barons of Balance, with the world’s fastest feet, display the finesse of dancers and reveal amazing agility as they effortlessly leap from one thumb-thin low-wire to another. And flying high and flipping furiously are the Salsations who take vaulting, aerial gymnastics, and sizzling dance moves to scorching new extremes.
