Mario - Elvis performed at the NC-FH AAA Senior Fair on September 18, 2007 in Salina, Kansas to a crowd of 700+ Seniors. His music was very good. His presence mingling through the crowd in advance and after his performance was outstanding. They knew "Elvis was in the house"! He was extremely generous with his time to do photo-ops with the 50's crowd! Thanks.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on October 25, 2008•From Memphis, TN
I hired Mario Manzini having no knowledge of hiring children performers since I was a child. He responded to my request and worked with me on payment that fit my budget. At my daughter's birthday party, he and "Fiddlesticks the Clown" were more professional than I had imagined. Mario Manzini did the most perfect magic show that I have ever seen. They children loved him and all of his tricks. They even danced when he sang Elvis songs. "Fiddlesticks" did face painting and temporary tattoos. The children were having so much fun, they didn't want to leave. I will definately be hiring them again!!

The Mario show was very entertaining. He kept the kids attention for the entire performance. Mario was very good to work with. He always responded quickly to questions via e-mail, arrived on time and completed the show in the allowed time. The price was very resonable.

We hired Mario Manzini to perform at our Vegas-style prom. He did his Elvis impersonation and magic/comedy show. This veteran performer was prompt and eager to please. I have to admit the faculty and staff enjoyed the Elvis impersonation more than the kids did, because, sadly, for the MTV generation the King is dead, but the fire-eating was impressive, as well as the obviously painful escape from the straight-jacket. Mario is a man of many talents.

Mario performed a few songs of Elvis at our wedding reception. He sounded good and his costume was close to authentic. We were hoping that he could perform "A Little Less Conversation" because that is what we were hiring an Elvis impersonator to do, but he was given short notice because the original impersonator we hired cancelled a month prior to reception. The songs he did perform were good. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I truly enjoyed Mario's performance. He was able to capture the attention of everyone at my party, everyone from the age of 3 years to 40. He arrived in a timely fashion and was able to rap up exactly when anticipated. All those who attended my daughters birthday party were well entertained and continued to discuss the performance even after it had come to a close. The only area for improvment would have been with the face painting a ballon animals. I myself would have to say that they were mediocre at best.I would recommend him to others for a multidue of occassions, as it was a well worth the time and money spent.

I don't understand what was wrong with everybody at the party.There was no response at all from the adults or children.None of the children were even watching the show as the parents let them all just run around and grab my props from my table as I was trying to do my show and act wild.All of the adults were ignoring my show the whole time and refused to volunteer when I asked them to assist in my magic tricks.This has never happened before.I don't know why they even hired a professional entertainer as no one was interested in watching a show.I've performed at thousands of events from corporations like 3M, Kraft Foods,and at private parties for adults & children.

Great people!! But they were not able to keep the kids excited throughout the presentation
:
There was something wrong with this woman. She contacted me on 4/13/09 and booked our show. We sent her a contract which stated it had to be returned by 4/22/09 or show would be cancelled. We never got it. I called her. She said she mailed it 4/14/09. I sent another contract to be returned by 4/28/09. Never got that back. I called her again. Sent her another contract to be returned by 4/30/09. Got it on 5/1/09. She was very hateful to me all times on the phone. I didn't feel right about doing my show at her party but did it anyway. She was very hateful & unfriendly. She told all the kids to play on the swings and slide instead of watching my show. Only her daughter a

The client booked us and signed a contract stating we were to be there at 12 noon to set up and start the show at 1:00pm. We arrived at 11:45am and set up. We waited till 1:00 pm to start and she wouldn't let us saying I was wrong and that we were to start at 2:00 pm. She was drinking liquor and was drunk and nasty to us. We waited till 2:00 pm and was ready to start and she stopped us and said that she wanted us to start at 3:00 pm. I showed her the contract and she went off on us. We were scared so waited till 3:00 pm and then she let us start. We were supposed to do 1 hour but she made us do 1.5 hours and then didn't want to pay us.Most of the adults there were dr

We had fun with Mario he kept the kids involved and made sure my daughter felt special on her big day.. The performance he gave was fun for both kids and adults
:
I am so sorry that I took this Gig. I had to cancel it several times and she kept trying to rebook me. This person was out of it mentally. She gave me great comments and then rated me all 3's the worst I've ever gotten. Either she was drunk or on drugs or something wrong mentally with her.
She wouldn't send back the deposit and signed contract until the last minute after I canceled it again, and again. I had to reissue several new contracts each time. Too many bad things here with her I don't have enough room to explain.
Now this rating will stay on here forever and make me look bad. All my other ratings are 5's & 4.5's.

Mario ws very friendly towards residents and staff. Mario did several different activies-Elvis impersonation, magic and ventriloquist. our residents really enjoyed the show
:
I don't understand how Linda can give me such bad ratings as she left early and didn'ty even see my show. Everyone there loved it. I did more time than she booked me for which she said would be ok. She left early and called the nursing home on the phone top sepak to me after my show was over. She said that she heard great reports about me and wanted to rebook me again?? How could she give me a 3.5 on Accommodating, etc and also on Overall Satisfaction? She didn't even mention Victoria playing her violin & fiddle music which everyone there loved too! Only a 4 on Professionalism, Overall Talent. Reccomend 3.5? I'm very confused with her.

The guests at the party loved Mario--- he was a little cheesy so you have to be in the mood to have a great time and laugh when he comes-- really the amount of fun he brings is really up to you... he is very talented
I would not recommend Fiddlesticks the clown-- she was very sweet and fun loving but... a little misleading with the face painting ( they were just stamps) and would have liked her to get the kids more excited about coming over to see her
Other than that I would defiantly recommend him for any party, they had a little trouble with communication in the beginning but they did have some computer troubles at first and holidays. He was great!

Our committee was upset that we were hiring him and his wife as a team and he is the only one who showed up. We also had him booked til 9 pm and he left by 6, without contacting us to make sure we were finished with him. We were not refunded any of the money. His shows were entertaining and audience enjoyed the professionalism was our concern. We feel we should have been refunded part of the money when we only received part of the gig :(

the picture that i saw of mario and fiddlesticks the clown, looked nothing like them. they looked very thrown together and costumes were not good. the kids liked it but for the money i was very,very unhappy with the appearance, and felt like what i was seeing online on their web-site, is NOT AT ALL who they are :(((
:
Jenny Egan was very hateful to us the whole time we were there as well as to everyone at the party including her husband. Our costumes were purchased at Morris Costume Co and are 1st class and expensive. We wear different costumes from time to time as they have to be cleaned. That may be why the costumes didn't match the photos on Gigmasters as they were brand new. We took photos of that day and we both looked great as always. She also cut our fee in half. Still we did more time than she contracted us for. Read what others say about our shows on Gigmasters. Something wrong with this woman. We are Professional and were more than Accommodating to her and we have Talent

I was not able to attend this show but as I understand it the show started out badly with this man's wife performing. People got up and left. However once he started performing the show went great. This is the feedback I got from those in attendance. I cannot personally rate this performer.
:
They wanted my wife to open and play fiddle which she did for about 15 minutes and she's a top pro since 9 years old. There was only about 15 people in the audience mostly small childen. None seemed to like Fiddle music so left. They were running around the gym wrestling & playing and the parents let them. My show started with Comedy Magic, then my Escapology in which they had a local Police Officer lock me in his handcuffs and I escaped in 2 seconds. I finished with my Elvis show. I got great responce from the adults in the audience and a standing ovation at the end. How can Wayne rate me 2.5 & 3 the lowest ratings if he wasn't even there?
