So much fun!

Jacki was amazing. She was professional, showed up early, & immediately jumped in & started with the kids! They all loved her! The face painting was adorable, & she even gave my grandmother a little artwork :) The ventriloquist & magic show was so entertaining & the kids were so excited! She finished it off with balloon twisting & the kids couldn’t be more excited. I had high expectations & she succeeded them. I would definitely recommend her!

Fabulous blend of humor and professionalism

We thought Jacki’s show would be a perfect addition to our Cousin Camp for grandkids ages 2 to 8. We were not disappointed! Judging by the surprise and laughter on everyone’s faces, everyone enjoyed her fast paced and funny presentation. It was very family friendly and kept the interest of ages two to 67. Jacki was well prepared and organized. We would definitely recommend her!

She was able to keep the kids engaged and she made the birthday boy feel so special. I highly recommend Jacki! I love the connection she had with the kids - she’s truly amazing at what she does.

Perfect all around entertainment for kids and adults!

Jacki is multi-taltented and captured the attention of our group of 50 people, which included almost 30 kid's age 3 - 11. She had everyone laughing the whole time and was the perfect addition for my daughter's 5th birthday party! Her main event is her ventriloquist act, but I was impressed at just how talented she is, adding in some magician acts and she did such a beautiful job face painting our group of kids. I would definitely recommend her 10/10 for any age, any size event. There's no one else like her out there!

AWSOME EXPERIENCE

Mrs. Jackie and all of her characters were AWSOME entertainers! The show was geared towards my granddaughter’s party theme which was camping. So amazing, not only we’re the children mesmerized but Mrs. Jackie also incorporated mini educational facts throughout the show as it related to the theme and some. Mrs. Jackie is definitely on the calendar for next year. GOOD , CLEAN entertainment and very appropriate for my granddaughter who was turning 8. 😊

Excellent swim instructor

Jackie has been incredible swim teacher for our three year old daughter. Victoria used to be terrified of even trying to swim in the pool without her floats or tube. When she started swim classes with Jackie she was initially afraid of trying to float on her back, didnt like putting her face in the water and holding her breath, wanted to hold hands the whole time. After 8 classes she started swimming on her own and gained confidence and was making really great progress. After 12 classes she could swim on her front and back from one side of the pool to the other! Now she loves swimming and doesn't want to get out of the pool. Jackie has also been very accomodating to our schedule and worked with us to schedule classes at the time that worked for our family. Jackie is also a very talented face painter, magician, balloon twister, ventriloquist and entertainer who will brighten the mood of everyone around her. Cannot recomend her enough to our friends and family!

Wonderful swim instructor!

Jacki has been such a wonderful swim instructor for our 2 year old girl. She is so patient with her and our daughter has learned so much in such a short period of time. She absolutely loves getting in the water to swim and I think a big part of that is how she was introduced to swimming. Jacki has made it fun for her while at the same time teaching her water safety. She’s also just a great person so I would definitely recommend her for anything she offers!

Excellent Professional Entertainer and Ventriloquist

I’m retired US Army and a professional Magician. I know many other Magicians and Ventriloquists. Jacki is Unique and the Best I’ve seen with all audiences. Myself and my fellow magicians have said : wow! When she performs Ventriloquism spontaneously!
Jacki is Unique in that , she not only is an Excellent Ventriloquist, but performs Magic, face painting and balloon twisting. These four skills are normally done by individual entertainers . Jacki does them all !
In all my years of experience, I’ve not met any other entertainer in our Profession that is as multi talented as Jacki for all ages., young and old, in all venues.

Entertained children and parents as well

We hired Jacki Manna to perform at my grandson’s third birthday party and it was a big success, thanks, in part, to Jacki’s talents. She somehow managed to hold the attention of the children while entertaining their parents as well! Jacki had a great connection with the children and they were so excited by her abilities as a ventriloquist, magician and balloon artist. She was enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with.

We hired Jacki to teach our 2 year old daughter to swim and Jacki was amazing! Extremely patient, kind, and reliable. Our daughter loved her and had so much fun learning in the comfort of our own pool. I highly recommend Jacki to anyone - she’s a joy!

Jacki is Magical!

This past weekend my friends and family FINALY ventured out to Orlando from Fort Lauderdale for a small -vaccinated- almost post covid- get- a - way! (1st one since beginning of March 15 2020!!!)
The idea was to celebrate my daughter's 7th birthday and to just escape reality. I was looking for some magic to make this trip even more special and memorable. Jack ended up BEING that magic we all needed !!!
Her show was full of fun and surprises! She captured everyone’s attention for the entire show. She made the birthday girl and her friends feel very special and surprised us many times during the show. She was the highlight of the birthday celebration! We are very grateful to Jacki for all the joy and laughter she was able to draw out of us. Jacki dazzled us with a privet birthday show in our resort during the pandemic. 5 stars ! Absolutely fantastic. PS she also brightened us with SPARKLING waterproof glitter tattoos that also were a HIT!

A++++ Entertainment

Jacki is great!! We initially saw her in a birthday party and it was mind blowing to see how she all the kids entertained enjoying the show. It was so good that I asked her to go to my sister’s wedding the week after and even with the short notice she adjusted to our schedule and made it happen. It’s amazing how she integrates ventriloquism, magic and comedy. Definitely one of a kind! If you are thinking about it, GO FOR IT, everyone will love her and all her characters.
100% recommended.

So Wonderful !!

We celebrated my best friend's 2 year old grandson's birthday by gifting him Jacki's show. What a wonderful choice we made! It was a small event and she engaged all the children in the performance- who's ages spanned from 2 to 4 years old. The grandparents and adults at the party, which far outnumbered the kids, had an enormously great time watching them participate in the ventriloquism and comedy skit. After this we had face painting, and she even made balloons for each of them. A very witty and entertaining show! We are so happy we found her.

Fun Entertainment for all!

Jackie was absolutely amazing! She did a Magic/ Ventriloquist show for my little girl and 18 of her friends and family. She also did face painting for the party as well. She does such a professional job on the face painting, I will include a couple of pictures to show how good of a job she actually does! All of the parents kept saying how nice the face painting was. The thing that stood out the most for me was that when I looked around at everyone adults and children alike, there were huge smiles on every face. It made me feel so good, because I worked so hard to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves. I am grateful for Jackie because this was a big day for me and my husband, we only have one child and her 5th birthday was a wonderful experience and most importantly a huge hit!!!!

Jacki is amazing! We hired her as a balloon twister for our VBS event with a few day's notice. She was kind, funny, and entertained the kids and adults alike! The kids loved the swords and crowns she made for them! She even brought out a puppet and worked the crowd as the event was ending. She is incredible and we can't wait to have her back!

Jacki Manna came and performed at our company Breakfast with Santa Christmas Event here at the Shores Resort & Spa. Jacki brought the house down by engaging everyone in the room, not just the children sitting in front of her but EVERYONE! The laughter was continuous and the timing and perfection of her show helped to make our event the success that it was! Not only that, when Jacki was done making everyone laugh and smile she took the remaining time and face painted so many people that the line just kept building! I gladly and enthusiastically recommend Jacki Manna! She is a Show Stopper!

Jacki Manna, was event highlight at Polar Bear Tea Party.

Jacki Manna far exceeded my expectation when she performed her ventriloquist show in conjunction with magic. Jacki's show was in front of 64 children and adults as part of a Polar Bear Tea Party held at The Casements, in Ormond Beach, FL. The kids as well as parents, laughed, played along and laughed again. The show was very interactive, and Jacki's props were fun, colorful and different. There was story-telling, singing, and audience involvement. Jacki held the attention of even the youngest attendees and we could not have been more pleased. Jacki is a real professional of her art. Jacki was on-time and ready to begin her show as planned. She even incorporated our event theme "Polar Bear Tea Party" into her show. Parents and kids were raving about the show at the end of our event. We will definitely invite her back!

The students and teachers were laughing the whole time. Everyone had the best time. She even let each of the children have a turn being ventriloquists.

Amazing Ventriloquist for Schools!

Jacki Manna's ventriloquist show was a real treat for our preschool students! She had them laughing out loud with her interactive show. Her puppets were wonderfully "real," and the children responded positively and with great enthusiasm. As a teacher, I felt that Jacki's show was pitched perfectly for our age group. I loved the part where children were invited up for a quick ventriloquism class!

One of a kind

Jacki was the highlight of our son’s 5th birthday party. She had the kids endlessly entertained and they all loved her. Not only was her interactions with the kids superb, but she was very accommodating and flexible with our requests. She even put on a last minute impromptu show that was not planned when the lunch was late. Our original party date was rained out, and although she had commitments for our rescheduled date, she somehow managed to fit us in. We are forever grateful and will have a lasting memory of her contribution to a very special day for us.

The Children Loved Her!

Last weekend, Jacki headlined our three year-old's birthday party. It was a tough gig, given that children that age have a short attention span. Jacki carried it off like a champion! She kept the children's attention the entire time, and had them giggled and howling with laughter. After the show, she did face painting, which also proved popular. We couldn't have asked for a better result or happier kids. I would hire her again in a second!

Amazing Witty Ventriloquist

Jacki is an exceptional ventriloquist who was the host at our VBS this year. She's incredibly talented and her passion shone through as she talked about Jesus to the children. She was a hit with the small kids but I think the adults equally enjoyed her, if not more:) Her puppets are hilarious and her magic white board routine is an absolute blast!
Thank you Jacki! You're a blessing!

What a fabulous evening!!!

I can’t thank Jackie enough, nor recommend her highly enough! Jackie walked into our anxious group and set the wheels in motion for an amazing weekend. Our little guests were all 5 or under, so we felt she would have her hands full, but almost immediately the children were captivated by the magic, the puppetry and the magnetism of Jackie! They could not stop talking about the show and did not want her to leave!!! Jackie came to us at a VRBO home and managed to occupy the children as she set up for an amazing show....such a memorable way to welcome our guests and make memories with the children! Jackie was able to incorporate children’s activities (that captivated our adult guests as well), weave in my birthday and kick off a magical weekend, flawlessly! Our guests all began thinking of future events with Jackie Manna! Thank you, Jackie!!! We can’t wait until next time!

A great show!!!

At the beginning of this month, our association held its annual Crepes party to celebrate the Chandeleur. More than fifty people attended, including sixteen children (mostly teenagers.) Everybody enjoyed very much the evening, not only by making and eating crepes, but also because Jacki Manna offered a great show. Jacki is a remarkable magician and ventriloquist. Both adults and children enjoyed enormously the two parts of her show. This show is really appropriate for this kind of event.

A Consistently Wonderful Show

Jacki has been regular part of our Summer Reading program at the Suntree/Viera Public Library for more than 8 years now. She offers a consistently wonderful show full of humour the whole family can enjoy. The main ingredient that makes her show so enjoyable is her inclusion of the audience. They aren't there to just watch the show, they are a part of the show. This is a key ingredient I look for when considering performers for my Summer programs, and Jackie has it in spades. I also like that Jacki teaches the children some of her magic and ventriloquism. Many children can be seen leaving the shows having conversations with hand puppets. It's great fun!

Manna was a BIG hit!

Jacki was our guest speaker at our annual ladies brunch in March, 2017 which included those sixteen and older. Jacki was engaging , fun, and the message delivered was thought provoking. She presented Jesus throughout her presentation and everyone loved her cast of zany characters who drove home some key points at just the right time. The ladies loved it!! Thanks Jacki for using your gifts to tell others about Jesus, reinforce their walk and bring laughter into their lives.

Jacki was good enough to do a children's program the night before the brunch. The kids had a blast and Jacki made sure they knew who Jesus is and his gift of salvation. She taught them a simple way to tell others about Jesus and gave each one a tool they could use to demonstrate the gospel with their friends and others. They really listened to what she was saying as she wove the gospel into what she was talking about and had them captivated with her sidekick and a few magic tricks all the while making sure they knew the good news so they could tell others. Thanks Jacki for sharing your gift with us.

Amazing with the kids, truly inspiring

Jacki Manna was so awesome with all the kids that came to the christian summer camp that we held. She shared the Gospel to the little kids in a very effective way through her puppet shows and her fun, interactive activities. She broke down hard concepts of the Bible in an easy and understandable way and taught the children with enthusiasm and care. Anyone could easily see the passion that shines through her and you can tell she enjoys what she does. Every child loved her and even asked about her after the summer camp ended. Children still spoke about her lessons and puppet shows and grasped everything that Jacki taught so well. We were truly blessed to have Jacki as our host for our event. Her face paintings were also so cute and creative. Everybody loved it. She is truly talented and loving, a wonderful person be around with.

Wonderful show!

We are so glad we decided to have Jacki perform in our son’s birthday party — as everyone had a blast. Happiness and laughter filled my son’s birthday party with her puppet Jojo Bean, Monkey Skunky and her magic tricks/jokes!

Great children’s comedy magician!

Jacki provided an outstanding comedy routine for my family and neighbors! Kids and adults alike were enthralled and entertained. My son LOVED the magic white board routine. He laughed so hard he jumped out of his seat! I would highly recommend Jacki Manna, so talented!

Love her!

We've had Jacki Manna do several shows for our family and have loved every one of them. She is great with children and does a fantastic job including us adults as well! The face painting was beautiful and her balloon twisting was a hit! Everyone loved her "Corny Crew". We highly recommend Jacki for your party entertainment needs! She's the BEST!!

Funny, Classy, The whole Package!

Jacki came out and did a 30-minute act for my wife's baby shower! The crowd was mainly Indian-Americans (from India) which are a group of people that quite generally react like a 4-year old where you wonder if they understood anything you spent the last hour saying until the car ride home when they start repeating everything like someone just hit play! Everyone loved her act! She had the entire room, about 60 people including adults and children, glued to their seats during her act and rolling. For the children, she brought them all up near her and introduced them to 2 characters in that tight window. In my opinion, the reason she was so successful in her act was her preparation and experience. You could just tell that she was not doing this for the first time. We were very blessed to have her come and entertain us. She will definitely be invited back to another event. I don't know Jacki from Eve but when she was doing her act, you could feel the favor of God on her skillset. She is well worth any premium price she requests. Thank you Jacki for coming out and doing your thing for us!

Ms Jacki Manna was fantastic!

We got the right choice! Ms Jacki Manna was absolutely fantastic. She performed for the birthdays of our sons. All children were very entertained as well as the adult guests. She was so generous giving away a lot of balloons that are twisted and her artistic hands made every kid look so happy and proud of their face painting. She was so friendly and manage to get the attention of the kids in the party and listen to her. We were so surprised as she made a surprise performance having the puppet and magic on her magic board. And of course we are very thankful for that. Ms Jacki made our party a successful one. She 's very professional and so sweet. Even if we had a little hard time regarding the paperworks, she still managed to help me out to make things go as plan. Again, thanks Ms Jacki for having a good job. Maraming Salamat po(thank you) from our whole family!

Alliance Francaise of Greater Orlando

Each year, AFGO (the renowned worldwide organization created in Paris almost 130 years ago) organizes a crêpes (sweet) or galettes (savory) party.
Anticipating that a significant number of children (most of them students at our French School) would participate, we asked Jacki Manna, who is also a French teacher, to entertain the crowd.
Jacki produced two half-hour shows: a magician and a ventriloquist show. Both were very skillfully executed. Children as well as adults had a blast; and AFGO received a lot of rave for this party, in great part due to Jacki’s performance.

Uncle's Birthday Party

Jacki's gig was very entertaining. Her skills as a ventriloquist were amazing and the each puppet had an unique personality that was really brought out by her voice. She used a variety of props during her magic act; each one was a pleasure to witness. I enjoyed her act and would definitely book her again.

Wonderful Entertainer!

On our son's 7th birthday party, we had the pleasure of watching Jacki Manna's show. It was so much fun, the children were completely enthralled with her magic, her puppets and her wit. Cowboy Eddie, JoJo Bean and her other puppets friends were a total success with the audience. Jacki has a great way of interacting with the children! The magic was definitely there; one trick after another, the hour long show passed like a minute of pure magic! Thank you for a wonderful birthday experience!

Jacki Manna will make you laugh for sure!

She has kids come on stage and makes things funny for everyone.
Jacki's alligator JoJo Bean wore a funny costume and swimming goggles. He tried but couldn't say where he is from - Florida. He was funny.
I got to see a drawing on a board talk while someone erased the face. Everyone that comes to her show gets a special prize, a Million Dollars. Kids and adults will like her show a lot! She will make you laugh for sure. Go see Jacki Manna.

Great Entertainment!

My husband and I saw Jackie perform ventriloquism several times, most recently in Madison, WI. She had Cowboy Eddie with her, and they were funny and entertaining! The crowd loved her! She brings her characters to life with wit and charm, and they even sing sometimes! Jacki is multi-talented, professional and a true entertainer! We look forward to seeing her perform again soon!

About

Hi there! I am the world famous (for people under 3 feet tall) ventriloquist, Jacki Manna. I hail from the corn capital, Des Moines, Iowa and now live in the entertainment capital, Orlando, Florida. I started in Show Business just because I showed some kindness to an 80 year old man on a cruise ship where I was working. This man, famous ventriloquist and wooden puppet maker Howie Olson, had his own Kids TV show for 40+ years in Houston, TX and Madison, WI. He became my mentor.

I have been entertaining audiences, children and adults, with my comedy ventriloquism act since 1990. I am experienced, reliable, professional, talented, and funny! I guarantee your event will be successful with my entertainment.

In addition, I have been a high school, middle school, and elementary school teacher for 20+ years. I am a swim teacher. Yes, really! And I am a French teacher! Plus, I do face painting and balloons twisting. Also, I am a character in a children's TV show (13 episodes) that is currently airing on 12 stations nationwide and in Canada. It's called Ignite Your Light Kidz.

Influences & Inspiration

Jacki Manna's mentor was Howie Olson, a TV star on WISC-TV in Madison, Wisconsin on a children’s program called Circus 3. In Houston, Texas he had a radio and sponsored TV show called Phenix Phil. Howie was a well known and respected ventriloquist, magician, and figure maker who took Jacki on as his apprentice in 1989. Howie died in 1992 and left his magic and puppets to Jacki. One of the puppets was the famous Cowboy Eddie who was carved in 1910 by the Mack brothers, the same ones who carved Charlie McCarthy.

Besides all the thousands of private events since 1990, Jacki has performed at many conventions for professional entertainers. Here are a few: the 36th Annual Vent Haven convention in Kentucky in 2012 where she paid a tribute to Howie Olson by performing with his 102 year old puppet Cowboy Eddie, the Houdini Convention in Madison, Wisconsin in 2013, the Midwest's Premier magic convention AbrCORNdabra in 2014, the Circus World Reunion in 2015, and the Florida StateMagic Convention Magicpalooza in 2016.
