Giveaway: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® The Coney Island Illuscination

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents The Coney Island Illuscination, a fantasy-filled world where thrills, wonderment and unbelievable magic intersect with the outlandish fun of the circus.

Illuscinator, and host of this all-new Gold edition, David DaVinci, along with performers from all over the world invite you and your family as they enthrall you with eye-popping illusions and thrilling circus acts all at The Greatest Show On Earth® which runs June 17 – September 6 in an air-conditioned tent on Surf Avenue and West 21st Street, the same location where Ringling Bros. spent its successful 2009 inaugural season. Tickets, starting as low as $10, are now on sale.

DaVinci, who holds several world records, thrills audiences with eye-popping illusions and mind-blowing transformations, all mysteriously interwoven throughout the show. Circus-goers’ eyes will be transfixed on the center of the ring as they witness international acts that astonish and amaze. These unbelievable acts include:

• • Viktoriya and Widny, the Empresses of the Air, who execute a never-before-seen extreme hair hang
  • The Kung Fu Kings, who combine mixed martial arts with mind-boggling strength to twist solid metal poles around their bodies and dive through hoops of razor-sharp sabers, blindfolded!
  • Anton and Alex, The Barons of Balance, reveal amazing agility as they effortlessly leap from one thumb-thin low-wire to another.
  • Flying high and flipping furiously on the teeterboard and the Russian bar are no other than the Salsations!
