Mr. Manzini and Victoria were very nice people and very professional. They interacted with the residents at this nursing home very well and we all enjoyed their show.

The performance was good and he did well entertaining the group. Fiddlesticks was perfect for the age group. The kids looked cute with their faces painted. The only issue was the majic show starting late. We would hire them again, but would give specific directions to avoid issues with map quest.

We had a great time with Mario's show. He handled the 16 5 and 6 year old boys very well. He allowed for much audience participation. My son is still talking about the party.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 5, 2008•From Columbus, NE

Mario and Victoria were very accomodating. Mario definitely involved the audience and "worked the crowd" very well. Even when some though they knew how he was doing the tricks and illusions -- we found ourselves saying "How'd he do that"! He was working right in the middle of the audience with no way of hiding any props. He performs much longer than the contract called for, including doing some Elvis songs before dinner. Hiring a professional entertainer for the Christmas/Employee appreciation party was a change from past years, and it definitely was a success. Thank you to Mario and Victoria for making this a very fun night and thanks to Gigmasters.

Mario and Vicki were wonderful! I was so happy that they were here for my daughters 5th birthday! I got in touch with them at the last minute and they helped me with my budget and entertained about 30 kids ages 5 to 70+. (lol) Mario did a magic show, while Vioki did face painting and tatoos! It was nice that I actually enjoyed my company and the show! My daughters Birthday was a huge sucess! Thank you Mario and Vicki! Hope to see you again in the future! Tracey

I hired Mario and Fidlestick the clown for my daughter's first birthday. We had two one-year-olds, a four-year old, a couple of seven-year olds, and some ten and twelve-yera-olds too. Mario and the clown came on time and kept all the kids and their parents entertained. The Magic show was very interesting and everybody were involved in the different magic trics. The little ones kept squeezing the clown's nose. It was great. The older kids got water tatoos and face painting too. The little ones were crazy about the baloon animals. Overall I'm very pleased. My daughter and our guests had a wonderful time.

Mario was very entertaining for the children. There was constant laughter and smiling. The children were amazed by his magic and enjoyed the music and singing with Mario's assistant. Thankyou!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 31, 2009•From Fairview Heights, IL

The show was nice, some of the children had a nice time. I am not sure if it was the setting, but Mario was a bite nervouse at first, but as time went on, he got comfortable. Some of the Older kids picked up on the trick. The painting, tatoo, and ballon was great. The kids kept coming back for more. I really like my butterfly face paintain. Next time, I will try to schedule the show for a later time, may a few hours after my guest arrives so it doesn't feel like its taking forever. Everything was great!!!, we enjoyed it, the price was reasonable and everyone was happy. Thanks Mario. (*-*)

Private Party•Reviewed on November 22, 2007•From Jefferson City, MO

Every year on Thanksgiving, my relatives gather together to make memories. We had approximately 100 people this year, including cousins. This year we decided to do something that would apease both young and old. We hired Mario Manzini to perform some close-up magic, illusions, escapes and end with his tribute to Elvis Presley. He put so much feeling into Elvis' songs. He truly sings from the heart. He was truly phenomenal and presented himself in a very professional manner. He kept things moving and displayed a genuine spirit, in his style, grace and knowledge of escapeology. He capivated our hearts on a very personable level. We would recommed him highly.

Event•Reviewed on August 31, 2006•From Columbia, MO

We hired Mario Manzini to perform his 2 hour Magic & Illusion show for our event that we held at the Ramada Inn on Thursday, August 31st through Gigmasters. Mario was so accommodating to us. His talent and humor was the icing on the cake for our event. What made Marios magic show so great was his using total audience participation throughout his show. He had us almost rolling on the floor with laughter. He also had one of our group float high in the air as he passed a solid steel hoop over her to prove that there was nothing holding her up in the air. We all sat there mesmerized. Mario also placed one of our guys into a strait-jacket and asked him to try to escape. That was so funny we couldn't stop laughing so much as he struggled to get out but couldn't. Then he was let out and mario was strapped into the strait-jacket as tight as possible the two biggest guys in out group. Yet Mario escapes so fast we couldn't believe it. Mario then also did some Mentalism where he was blind folded and he was led around to many of the tables an asking everyone to hold up any object that they would have with hem. Coins, watchs,wallets and so many other things. mario just placed his hand on their shoulders and was able to tell us all what the item was. Unbelieveable. We want to thank Gigmasters and Mario manzini for making our event Fantasic. Vickie S. Columbia, MO.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 19, 2006•From Columbia, MO

We hired Mario Manzini through Gigmasters.com to perform at our partyon friday, May 19, 2006. We booked him to do his Elvis tribute show and also his magic show afterwards.We had a huge crowd of people attending. Mario was very professionaland accommodating .Mario showed up an hour before he was to begin entertaining us so he could set up his show, sound equiptment and props. We were going to have him begin his show at 7 pm, however there was some guests that were running late in arriving. Mario suggested he wait til they arrive before startting his show so that they wouldn't miss it. That was real very thoughtful of him. Mario looked great in his Elvis suit and he looked the part of a top professional entertainer. He did his Elvis show for us and he was terrific. I had the pleasure of seeing the real Elvis 2 times. Once in Las Vegas and the other in St. Louis at Keil Arena. Mario pulled it off greatly. His voice, style, movements and personality reminded me and all of my guests of the "King". Mario walked around to all of my guests as he sung lots of Elvis songs. He gave out scarfs to all of the women and hugs too. They were thrilled and excited. He also gave out lots of Teddy Bears to the men and children and shook everybodys hands. After his Elvis show which was about 90 minutes, Mario wasw illing to take pictures with many of my guests. He was very friendly and professional before, furing and after his show. Mario took a short break while he changed costumes and then came out and did some of his Comedy Magic. I have to say thank you Gigmasters for sending us Mario Manzini. He brought our party to life and did a fantastic job of entertaining myself and all of my guests. I am looking forward to hiring Mario again some time in the future. I highly reccomend Mario Manzini for any type of event for all ages and all types of events! Leonard McDonald, Columbia, MO.

Private Party•Reviewed on August 18, 2006•From Columbia, MO

Once again we have to say that Mario Manzini did a fantastic job of entertaining us all at our Private Business Mens Party last night. This party was for about 200 people both men and women who are all business people. Mario did such a great job with his Elvis Tribute show that at the finish of his show everynody gave him a standing ovation and pleaded with him to do a few more songs which he did. Mario was most accommodating to us and his tribute to the King was excelent. During his 2 hour Elvis show Mario walked around to the tables as he sang and gave out lots of Scarves and hugs to all the women and shook hands and gave out Teddy Bears to all the men. All in all every body had a great time and Mario was the icing on the cake for our event. This is the second time that we have used Mario Manzini for our events and it won't be the last time. He also again after changing into his street cloths did alot of close of magic tricks at many of the tables for our guests. This brought alot of laughs and fun for all. We more than got our moneys worth in hiring Mario Manzini. He is # 1 in our books. Thanks again so much Gigmasters for allowing us to once again book Mario Manzini through your agency. Leonard M.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 13, 2006•From Richland, MO

I would like to thank Mario Manzini for making my son's birthday the best that he has ever had! Everyone enjoyed the show and enjoyed his energetic personality. He started the show when I was ready for him to start. He was organized for a quick moving, very interactive show. He truly was very professional in appearance and in manner. The adults and the kids were both very involved in the show. He was very accomodating to my requests and wants. I had wanted my son to be "floated" and he did this. My son was so amazed that he wanted someone else to be "floated" so that he could watch them! I had gotten my son a puppy for his birthday and Mario worked that into the show as the last trick which when my son saw the puppy and was so happy and excited, it brought tears to my eyes as it was the perfect finale! He even stayed after the show and had cake and ice cream with us at our insistance and continued to amaze the kids and adults (especially us adults!). We had a great time. Mario showed us only SOME of his many talents and I would love to see more! I want to again say a BIG THANK YOU to Mario Manzini for allowing us to be blessed with his talent on the celebration of my son's birth! You made the day more special, amazing, and magical! My son felt on top of the world! Mario, thank you so much!

Mario did a show for my mother it was her 80th B-Day we had someone booked however they canceled at the last minute and we contacted Mario and he accepted to do the party (last minute).Mario did a great job. I would recommend his services. He sounded good and tried very hard to please the crowd.Only thing I would suggest is a little more organization at the beginning of the show. Overall I think he did an awesome job. Keep up the good work Mario!!!!! My Mom Loved You!!!!

Wade Middaugh and the Festival staff were great. They rebooked us again for Sept 12, 2009. Very nice people to perform for at their Ashland Fall Festival in Ashland, Missouri. Anything we needed they provided it for us to do our shows. On a rating of 1-5 we give him all 5's.

We have lots of special needs here and it is often difficult to find ways to keep the entire group engaged. Mario Manzini was able to keep thier attention, keep the audience engaged, entertain them, have tons of fun, all-in-all a super fantastic experience, everyone had a grand time. We will be having Mario back.
