This episode marks our first-ever professional illusionists to be featured on the podcast.
Sandpoint-based David Womach, who performs internationally as David DaVinci, and his wife and assistant Jamieleigh join us to pull back the curtain on their two summer shows at Silverwood Theme Park: ParrotFX and Thrillusionist.
The two shows are family affairs that combine their various passions like bird training (they also run the popular BirdTricks YouTube channel), spectacle and doses of adrenalin.
Jamie and David talk about what life is like as a married couple that performs together, the everyday magic of birds, and some of the more unusual aspects of bird training, such as racing a peregrine falcon to the ground at 200 miles per hour.
