10/10

I booked Mario Manzini to present his Tribute To Elvis music show here at Richardson Auditorium. We have over 1,300 seats and his show packed in a full crowd at $ 25 a seat on Jan 7, 2025 for Elvis's birthday. Mario is rated the top 3rd Elvis Tribute Artist in the Mid West and his show was fantastic. He did 2 sets of an hour each singing all of the hit songs of Elvis. This is the 3rd time in the past few years that we have had him perform here and it won't be the last.
I highly recommend Mario Manzini for any event where you are wanting a first class Elvis concert.

Houdini's Best Tribute!
On May 14th I had the opportunity to work with Rose Straeter on a Fundraiser for Habitat For Humanity/Lifeboat Alliance in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. Mario Manzini dazzled an audience of 1,000 + adults and children with phenomenal illusions, comedy magic and the daring milk can escape. We would highly recommend Mario for any event or fundraiser. He is truly the world's only leading Guiness World Champion Escape Artist and a true professional in his field of escapes.

Stunning Performance!
Mario Manzini is a professional in every sense of the word. His performances are lauded at every event where he appears and also in the Guinnness Book of World Records. With many years of experience, he is an escape artist, an illusionist, a fire eater, an Elvis impersonator, and a magician. He usually recruits local people, especially ones who carry handcuffs, to show his spectacular ability to escape within seconds. He has, also, a great sense of humor and conducts his business in an ethical manner. Audiences love him and clients feel they have made a good decision by booking his services.

Grandma's 80th birthday
I found Mario on the internet for my grandma's 80th birthday. My grandma is a HUGE Elvis fan she loves him. No one cab take the place of Elvis but Mario was awesome so so happy I found him for her. I am truly blessed to have found Mario and his wife helped cover it up so it could be a surprise. I thank them both so much. They both are rock stars and my grandma's party turned out to be a #1 hit just like all of Elvis's songs. I just wanna say you both are amazing people and I wish you all the best. Who knows could meet again some day you never know . GOD bless. Teresa Garcia

Amazing and Entertaining
Our audience was people from 5 to 98 in age and everyone enjoyed the show. There is something for all ages. Mario appeared as Elvis, did some magic tricks for the kids, and then amazed the audience as an escape artist. The speed with which he was able to escape from what looked like an impossible situation was unbelievable. He was also easy to work with and the price was right for a small organization.

WONDERFUL SHOW
The show was wonderful. Very positive response from the kids and the parents. It was very fun for the kids when Mario and Victoria involved them with the acts! He showed them how to do "trick cards" at the end of the show, and they loved that too. I especially appreciate that Mario encouraged the kids to read, to stay out of trouble, to visit the library, and to follow their dreams!

Mario Manzini's "Tribute to Houdini" show is a must see.
Mario is challenged by local police to escape their handcuffs and does so in record time while secured in a cloth sack.

His comedy magic show is great and uses members from the audience as volunteers/committee members to assure the rest of the audience that everything is on the up and up. Mario even levitates an audience participant while surrounded.

The escape show is terrific. Mario liberates himself from a plethora of bonds including, but not limited to; 100 feet of rope, a leather straight jacket, multiple handcuffs and leg irons, and a large Milk Can filled with water (as Houdini himself used).

I have been a professional magical entertainer for 25 years and can tell you that Mario Manzini's 30+ years as an escapist and magician have made him one of most talented in this field.

When the opportunity arrives and Mr. Manzini is playing anywhere near your location purchase tickets at once. You will enjoy every minute of the show."

Great Show
Mario's show was so entertaining. He came to my sorority house for a show and all the girls loved it and said it was a great break from school. He really got everyone involved. His show was great for our group of about 120 people. Mario and Victoria were so friendly and were willing to be flexible with our schedule and work with us. I would highly recommend him for anyone of all ages.

A special memory that will be talked about for years.
This will be the family Thanksgiving gathering that will be talked about for years. The children and adults all had a wonderful time from Victoria starting us off with her beautiful violin playing to Mario's magic and escape performances. Mario was very funny and held the attention of everyone in the room. The children and adults were able to participate in some of the acts which made the show extra special. I would recommend further bookings for Mario.

Performance was very appropriate for our crowd - adults with developmental disabilities and children under 5. Good crowd involvement, joking and friendly and good magic.

Family Friendly Entertainer!
Our event was a family focused event in the park hosted by a Cub Scout Pack. It had vendors & food trucks with a lot of life sized free games. Mario Manzini was our primary entertainment with 2- 1 hour shows of magic & escape. Victoria offered up her talents on an electric fiddle as an opening act for Mario and it ran together very well.

Mario & Victoria did a wonderful job of entertaining. The children loved the mystery of the escapes and the chief of police challenged him in a handcuff escape. The crowd was fully involved in the event.

They got there early to set up, they were approachable and friendly.

Fantastic Musician
We attended a fundraiser and we were astonished at all the hard work that went into the show. Mario had an excellent voice as his tribute to Elvis Presley. He gave out scarves and teddy bears to the audience. He had a red velvety curtain for his backdrop. We would highly recommend him for other performances.
