The great linguini was a hit at my daughter’s 7th birthday party! He kept all her friends entertained for the whole duration of the show and we all know how hard it is to capture that age group’s attention! The tricks were great, his jokes had the kids rolling with laughter and he made sure to give lots of attention to the birthday girl which she loved! He even had a special gift for her after the show that was according to her party theme. Safe to say we will be recommending him to anyone who is looking for entertainment for a kids party! Thank you Mr linguini!

I had a great experience with the Great Linguini for my twins 8th birthday and all the kids loved him as well! We had a bit of a rowdy crowd but Linguini handled them well with professionalism and respect- you can tell he has experience dealing with kids. There were many “magic words” the audience was made to repeat to make the birthday person feel special and there are many other parts Linguini added to the show to create a great birthday experience. One of the guests said it was “the best magic show ever! “
