Absolutely the best! Great Linguini was a pleasure to have at my daughter’s birthday party. He was generous enough to wait until my lagging guests arrived and the kids ( and adults) absolutely loved the show!! You can have face paint and balloon twisting everywhere but if you want a unique and fun entertainment experience great linguini is the magician to hire! I’m so glad that I contacted him!! We all loved the show and looking forward to have him again for our next party!!
