• the show was awesome just a lil long for a nursing home enviroment . Mario and victoria are an awesome duo. -- Jim O, Linn, MO, 7/18/2009
• We employed Mario Manzini for two very different events and were totally satisfied with his performances for each. The performance included an Elvis impersonation and also a magic act. He is helpful, flexible and very easy to work with. Not only is he a versatile performer with a lovely voice, he is great at reading the audience and tailoring his performance accordingly. Vicky is an excellent musician in her own right and that adds to the completeness of the act. Mario succeeded in delighting both toddlers and seniors in their 90's. He provides great value and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The fact that he enjoys his profession is obvious in his performa -- Jerry R, Sedalia, MO, 5/24/2008
• Mario and wife were quite pleasant and do a good magic show. He also says he does hypnotism, however I would not say that. Overall would get him again if we were looking for magic. -- Mary Beth R, Riverside, IA, 4/26/2009
• 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. -- Colleen L, Butler, MO, 4/17/2009
• 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. -- Kristin H, O Fallon, MO, 4/4/2009
• Very nice couple. -- Mike K, Ellisville, MO, 3/21/2009
• When we asked him to change some things in the second show, Mario completly did. I thought the shows went well although he did have a couple of equipment problems but he worked right through them. People cheered as they couldn't believe how he was able to get out of the mail bag stunt and the 100 foot of rope tied to a chair. I was something new for out PTO to do and we look forward to doing more of these types of fundraisers. Thanks Mario and Victoria for an entertaining and successful show. Elementary school Fundraiser -- Mike W, Burlington, IA, 2/21/2009
• 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. -- Jane L. C, Columbus, NE, 12/5/2008
• 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 -- Tracey W, Saint Peters, MO, 2/7/2009
• 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. -- Galya M, Columbia, MO, 11/10/2008
• 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! -- Emily R, Saint Peters, MO, 8/12/2008
• 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. (*-*) -- Enor A, Fairview Heights, IL, 1/31/2009
• We really enjoyed the talents of Mario and his assistant, Victoria. They were very personable, on time, professional, and talented. We would absolutely recommend their show, and would consider having a repeat performance from them. Vicky Decker Seymour Community Club -- Vicky D, Seymour, IA, 7/12/2008
• Mario and Vicky were wonderful entertainers! Our students and parents were already asking right after the shows whether or not PTO was going to have them come back next year!! What I personally admired most about the two of them was the manner in which they interacted with our students...very relaxed and warm individuals! Superb entertainers and would recommend to any organization! Yea Mario and Vicky!! -- Shelly C, Topeka, KS, 5/21/2008
• Everyone had a great time! A big thankyou to Mario and his assistant. -- Christine M, O Fallon, MO, 3/16/2008
• He was great! -- Tomica M, O Fallon, IL, 2/16/2008
• Hi. I hired Mario Manzini to do his comedy magic show and also his Elvis show for our private party. There was a last minute cancellation on another act that we hired and tried Gigmasters for the first time. Mario Manzini was Fantastic! His fee was very reasonable and he was so professional. He made our evening. I would highly recomend Mario Manzini for any type of event where you want to have great entertainment. Vick Halter -- Vickie H, Jefferson City, MO, 1/6/2008
• Mario, Thank you for the great entertainment, everyone at our wedding was entertained from the young children to the seniors. We were very happy with your performance, the Elvis impersonation was top notch, the magic was a lot of fun and Vicky's violin playing was beautiful. We couldn't have been happier, you made our wedding into an exceptional day that we will be able to cherish for the rest of our lives. Thanks again, Matt and Melissa Terryberry -- Melissa D, Kansas City, KS, 12/31/2007
• 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. -- Victoria H, Jefferson City, MO, 11/22/2007
• On behalf of Quintiles, Inc. I would like to thank Mario for his outstanding performance as Elvis at a retirement celebration we recently had. Mario was wonderful to work with during the planning of our event and was really committed to his performance. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed his show. I would highly recommend Mario for your upcoming holiday parties. Quintiles, Inc. in Overland Park, KS will ask Mario to come back. -- Terry B, Overland Park, KS, 11/1/2007
• 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. -- Vickie S, Columbia, MO, 8/31/2006
• 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. -- Leonard M, Columbia, MO, 5/19/2006
• Mr Manzini was easy to work with and was able to accomodate me despite the power outage in St. Louis at the time. -- Devvonie J, Saint Louis, MO, 7/22/2006
• 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. Columbia, MO -- Leonard M, Columbia, MO, 8/18/2006
• 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! -- Debbie H, Richland, MO, 5/13/2006
• 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!!!! -- Patricia L, Holden, MO, 7/19/2008
• Mario was very pleasant to work with. He involved the audience and made the show entertaining for all ages. -- Jenna B, Albany, MO, 11/18/2007
• 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. -- Jeff Y, Fulton, MO, 8/20/2008
• He arrived on time and the kids loved him. -- Susan W, Edwardsville, IL, 9/27/2008
• 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. -- Sister Beth S, Salina, KS, 9/18/2007
• After experiencing problems with his sound system, and a slow start, Mario picked things up and gave an outstanding show. All of our customers were very happy with Mario's performance. We would definitely consider hiring Mario in the future. Randy and Jeanne Hard Times Bar and Grill Montgomery City, Mo. -- Randy G, Montgomery City, MO, 11/24/2006
• 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!! -- Leslie G, Memphis, TN, 10/25/2008
• 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. -- Mary S, Hamilton, IL, 4/30/2006
• Great show, very energetic!! -- Danielle P, Ord, NE, 1/13/2007
• 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. -- Judy H, Kirksville, MO, 4/28/2006
• He did a good job and we had a lot of fun! -- Pam T, Springfield, MO, 12/7/2007
• 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. -- Kristina S, Independence, MO, 7/14/2007
• 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. -- Shanae C, Columbia, MO, 1/24/2009
