Jacki Manna, Ventriloquist, Magician, and Face Painter

My center loves having Jacki visit. We love all of her shows and would recommend for any occasion for schools, churches, birthday parties, summer camps, winter break and spring break.

Corrected copy!
Jacki Manna is a professional entertainer that can vary her performances to fit her audience. I observed her performance yesterday at Lake Alfred Elementary School! She held the attention of her audience, with even the “wise ones” stopping their complaining and wanting to be part of the fun!

Jackie's blend of magic, comedy, and ventriloquism was perfect for our school! Ages 2 through 7 absolutely were mesmerized. Jackie is professional and responsive. She tailored her show to us. It was good clean fun. We loved the Christian aspect because we are a faith-based center.

Jacki Manna is a professional entertainer that can vary her performances to fit he r audience. I observed her performance today at Lake Alfred Elementary School today! She held the attention of her audience, with even the “wise ones” stopped complaining and wanted to be part of the fun!

We booked Jacki for our summer campers, aged between 6-12 years old. She was great, she kept them entertained and giggling the entire show, they loved it! Would definitely book again. Five stars

Jacki was asked to write a song in less than an hour, for the attendees at our company reunion! Not only did she pull it off, she nailed it!!!! Her talented skill of ventriloquism was very entertaining. No regrets!

Jacki Manna was awesome! The children at our school really enjoyed it! 10/10

Our summer camp students, ages 4 - 12, really enjoyed the show!

Fifty special need adults and thirty volunteers/parents/chaperones thoroughly enjoyed Jacki's show, They were entertained and given opportunity to participate on stage, which they love.

The show was awesome, and, with the most important purpose behind it, JESUS!
Watching the children engaged, not wanting to leave their seats though the show was over, awesome! If you are looking for something different, yet, with what needs to be spread, LOVE and LAUGHTER, give her a try.

Jacki Manna is simply the best ! We absolutely enjoy the moment. She works excellent with children. I would recommend her for your kids events .
God was always present on her work and that's the most important thing . Kids enjoyed the moment .

Jacki and her Crew put on a wonderful show. Our students were very engaged, and certainly entertained. Jacki did a wonderful job adapting the show to different age groups, so everyone from the ages of 2-6 (and the teachers!) enjoyed and laughed.

Jacki and her puppets were incredibly engaging right from the get go. She has kids 3-9 laughing and participating eagerly and adults were enjoying every moment as well. I was thrilled that her show had educational elements that she catered to the age group.

Last summer Jacki Manna performed for the end of our Library's summer reading program with an entertaining program including an assortment of colorful puppets for children. Yesterday, she performed for the adult members of our Friends of the Library group with her wisecracking elderly woman puppet, Tex, a handcrafted, wooden, antique cowboy figure and a few others. She also included some magic tricks, jokes and even transformed a couple of audience members into ventrilioquist puppets! Her skill at ventriloquism and bringing puppet caharcters alive via varied voices and puppetry manipulation is captivating.

Thank u Jacki Manna for my making my daughter 1st birthday party a success. The kids & adult enjoyed the face painting and ballon creation. Her show is very entertaining and interactive. I would highly recommend her!!!

Jacki this was the best birthday party ever! All the parents and more importantly all the children agreed!
You had the kids howling with laughter!
Thank you so much! We highly recommend you and your show ❤️🥳

Jacki is wonderful. The kids loved the show and the puppets. A day later and the kids are still talking about what a fun time they had. They are looking forward to this summer for the puppets and Jacki to return. I highly recommend Jacki and her shows.

We enjoyed this puppet show. The children talked about it for days, man of our parents told us how much the kids loved it.
Thank You
Jenni

Jacki put a wonderful program together we enjoyed it we are a ministry and we had some men and some children there and they were loving it. It was so nice to laugh and just have some fun. She encouraged us in the things of the Lord and lifted up. Jesus Christ.. we recommend her very highly..

Jacki's performances are so light hearted and fun. We invited her to a women's meeting and invited children as well. The children were very engaged and the young at heart were also delighted. This is a show that hearkens back to simpler times. You will leave her show with a sense of well being.

Jackie Manna is far more than a ventriloquist. Her “puppets” are more than just moveable figurines. Jackie gives life like personality to her creative characters. Jackie has members of the audience carrying on conversations with every one of her clever characters personality. Jackie has the full attention of everyone who are just hanging on for the next clever line from any one of her many characters. Delightful laughter fills the air during her performance. The show is “G” rated, very amusing and delightfully happy and is enjoyed by everyone regardless of age. If you are having an event Jackie Manna is your correct choice. Book Jackie Manna for your event. You and your guest will be very glad and happy. Y

Whether it's a party for children, a corporate event, a gathering for senior citizens, a church sponsored festivity, or a fancy soiree, when you need a fun, impressive, wholesome and engaging act, you will want to call Jacki Manna!

Her delightful smile and personality will melt the hearts of your family, friends, and guests with her wonderfully amusing, G-rated comedy, exciting magic, hysterically humorous ventriloquism and her various other performance offerings.

With talent, grace, and poise, Jacki can provide your special events with amazing entertainment, the quality of which would normally cost a lot more with other performers. (Believe me; my personal assistant searched quite a bit to find Jacki, and we're overjoyed that we found her. However, I am personally writing this review.)

What else can I say? Book your dates now! You won't be disappointed!

Jacki came and entertained our party of kids of various ages, with a magic show, face painting and ballon twisting. The kids had a great time. It was the highlight of our event! I would highly recommend Jacki, and look forward to having her do more shows!

Jacki was wonderful and the kids absolutely loved her at my daughter's 6th birthday party. If you are looking for an entertaining show that is great for all ages, she is the way to go! We had 2 years to 8 years at the party and they were all completely captivated. Worth every penny to see the look of pure joy on my daughter's and friends' faces!

By far the best swimming instructor my kids could have. As a mom of twin boys with complete different personalities and learning styles Jacki was able meet them both at their level. Both went from behind afraid of the water to successfully learning how to swim and being safe around water, and sparking an interest in swimming as a discipline. The kids always looked forward to their lessons and seeing Ms. Jacki which was not difficult due to her wonderful personality since she is great with children and adults alike. We look forward having her as our kids instructor next season!

Jackie was absolutely amazing!!
Everyone loved her!
The puppets, the comedy, the face painting, and balloons 🎈 were a hit!

Went ABOVE and BEYOND!

Thank you for making it a memorable experience for all of us!

I highly recommend Jacki Manna for any celebration that involves children. She is so talented with keeping them engaged and involved. She has a way of capturing the children’s attention allowing the adults to mingle and enjoy their party. The kids were mesmerized by her puppet show and had a blast with the face painting and ballon art. Jacki will definitely be involved in all of our family celebrations as she is a wonderful entertainer.

Jacki Manna is one of the best & most fun ventriloquist & face painter. She makes her show so exciting, enjoyable and entertaining. Jackie been entertaining our Halloween Neighborhood Party for the last 30 years. Two generations been enjoying her show. We love her!!!!!

She did an amazing job. We had her for face painting. Can’t wait for her to come back in February for our other daughters Birthday!! All the kids (and adults) were very happy!! Thank you so much

My daughter saw Jackie at school and she was nonstop talking about her so much that we knew for her birthday it was a MUST. Jackie kept all the kids attention even the parents. It was so much fun and laughter!

Jackie was awesome . I invited her for my daughter’s 7th birthday . Not only the kids even the adults were fully engrossed and enjoyed the event .

The event was hosted at the Lake Helen Public library and the kids absolutely enjoyed the show. I was amazed at how Jacki Manna was able to keep the attention of the kids for so long. Jacki also implemented her jokes into her magic tricks very well.

Miss Jacki was the main entertainment for the last day of school party. She performed 4 different shows for each of the 4 classes. Everyone loved her; students, parents, and teachers. My son played magician all summer he was so mesmerized by her talent. Miss Jacki is a joy to work with, very professional and accommodating to your party needs. I recommend her without reservations. You will be equally impressed as she is just wonderful.

Jacki Manna did a superb job with our end of summer bash. There were over 50 people in attendance with the vast majority being children between the ages of just a few months to approximately six years of age. Jackie was able to keep the kids engaged with her show, which besides the puppets, also included comedy, songs, ventriloquist lessons and a puppet craft. She also incorporated audience participation, and the children were more than eager to get involved. The kids, parents and teachers thoroughly enjoyed her show! We hope to have her back in the future!

We had Jacki join us for our mixed adult/kid birthday party. We had previously seen her magic show and ventriloquist skit at another party. We chose balloons and face painting, and it was PERFECT! She not only captured ALL the kids attention, but was able to go with the flow even when we needed her to stay. The kids loved it, and the parents were happy to have a 'little break'. We would definitely consider her for our our next party!

Jacki Manna and her crew of puppets were very entertaining and funny! They kept a room full of women laughing and singing for nearly an hour.

I was fortunate to see Jackie perform this year at two different grown up parties!! She is made for this kind of work and has a great ability to connect with the audience and even make mature adults laugh! I'd recommend Jackie for any age group--you won't be disappointed!

Her variety of puppets, including grandma" were liked by us all. Jacki's rapport with audience was very interactive. Great facial expression, radiant smiles, and very good making ad lib comments.
Also Sang songs using ventriloquism and we joined in.

Jackie and her puppets provided a fun show which was personalized and good, clean fun!

Thank YOU so much for making it work for us for our special baptism! We were thrilled to have you

Jacki was very professional, and provided a clean, fun, and engaging show with lots of theatrics and humor. Our summer camp students really loved the show, they were smiling and laughing throughout the entire show and enjoyed the time with her. She had a great classroom management presence; we would recommend her again.

Jacki has been coming to our summer camp program for years and she never disappoints! Very professional and lots of fun. The kids always have a blast and the adults laugh too! Very entertaining and clean fun. Always recommend her! :0)

We loved having Jackie and friends at our summer camp. She did an amazing job with great classroom management. I loved the way she involved the kids and kept things moving. She was funny for all the different ages that were there. We are a Christian school and camp so I so appreciated her sharing her love for God. She even brought me a gift. Such a true sweet spirit!

The children truly enjoyed the show! They were so thrilled to have their own hand puppets! I loved the fact that she taught about living by the Spirit’s power, and how amazing is it that when I opened my devotional this morning, that was the VERY lesson! (Guess we will be going further into this lesson today!) It is such a blessing to find entertainment that advocate for God, and the children understood and were receptive. We will have Jacki Manna return to our facility.

Jackie was amazing, all the kids were entertained with balloons and face painting and they were very happy. I recommend her 100%.

We invited Jackie a Manna to provide entertainment at First Baptist Church's Spring Banquet. The guest enjoyed her performce. Jackie is very talented and is a must hire!! We will be calling on her again.... Thank you Jackie Manna!!

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!

Jacki gave a great show! It was so much fun, for the kid as well as the adults! It was funny and educational! She is a true professional!!

Jackie was AMAZING! Her love of children shone as she painted magical designs on little faces. Highly recommend!

Jacki was amazing! Celebrated our 7 year old’s birthday and invited some of her adolescent cousins, everyone had a blast!!! We loved the puppets, magic show and balloon twisting.
Highly recommend Jacki for your child’s birthday party celebration and we will definitely have her back to celebrate future birthdays!!!

OMG. JACKIE WAS AWESOME. All the kids and parents loved her. I was not expecting a magic showbut she did. Very kid friendly. She is very interactive with the kids. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Jackie.

Children ages 2-12 we present and they were all engaged from the beginning to the end .

Jackie was phenomenal! Jackie performed her puppet show and magic act at our daughters 7th birthday party and was the highlight of the party! Very entertaining and super funny! She really captured the attention of both the kids and adults! Would highly recommend her, a true professional, and very easy to work with! Hoping to use her again for future parities.

The kids LOVED Jacki’s show & were thoroughly engaged and interacting with her and her beautiful puppets. There was abundant kid participation and lots of magic and laughter. She’s a talented artist as well, and made artistic face paintings for every child. I highly recommend her!!!

Jacki came to my son’s 5th birthday party. She captured the audience (22 children + parents) from the moment the show started until the end. The show was funny, entertaining and super unique. 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.

Ms. Jacki Manna’s show is awesome! Kids of all ages (and even us adults) gave our full attention! Entertaining, fun, and INTERACTIVE! This is a great show for any child’s party. The balloon art is really good too! Highly recommend!

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!

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!

We asked Jacki to come out to put on a puppet show and face painting for our pre-school. The children loved her, and talked about it for days! She did a great job!

We hired Jacki Manna for a combine party of a 4 years old and 7 years old. The kids absolutely loved her! Super entertaining, kids laughed at the jokes (adults did too). Jacki was amazing with all the kids at different ages. I couldn’t believed how entertained and focus all the kids were! We highly recommend Jacki Manna.

Couldn’t ask for anyone else!! She was very flexible and understanding with our time. The minute she started, she had everyone’s attention. She is not just an amazing entertainer, but an amazing human being!! Thank you so much for one of the best Birthday parties we have had. People are still talking about it🙏🙏🙏

This was the second time I hired Jacki manna for the entertainment at my granddaughters birthday! She puts on an amazing show every time! Very entertaining and engaging with all the guest at the party! Even the adults enjoy her show! She is very professional and reliable! We've enjoyed her each time! I highly recommend her to be the entertainment at your parties! She won't disappoint!

Jacki came to my daughters 6th birthday party and the kids LOVED her!! She does such a good job at making the birthday kid feel extra special. Her jokes are hilarious.. even to the adults! I’ve never seen kids so engaged at a party. I highly recommend her!

I booked Jacki fir my sons third birthday party. Jacki arrived on time and was ready for action! She did a wonderful job of engaging with the children and keeping them entertained. I would highly recommend her to others.

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. 😊

I Invited Jacki to my son's 5th birthday party wow what an amazing day it was I'll do my family was a little late Jackie still managed to paint all the children's faces and they loved it.

We hired Jacki for our son’s 9th birthday party and she put on a terrific magic and comedy show. The kids thoroughly loved the show and all of the parents loved that she was able to keep 17 kids engaged, respecting her rules and focused for more than 45 minutes which in itself is amazing. During the planning she was great to work, very responsive with and flexible- definitely recommend her for your event!

We hired Jacki to work our Fall Festival at Buddy Break with our special needs children. Jacki was wonderful with the kids, and they absolutely loved her. Not only did she do a great job with the face painting and balloon twisting, she was also really amazing with providing each child with what he or she needed for a positive experience. We would highly recommend Jacki and will be using her again for future church events.

We hired Jacki for our daughter’s 5th birthday and we are so grateful we did! Her show was phenomenal and had not only the kids, but also the adults, laughing the entire time. The combination of puppets, ventriloquism, magic and comedy was so unique and entertaining. The booking process was also super easy and smooth. I HIGHLY recommend Jacki Manna! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you for providing excellent service and keeping us entertained.

We hired Jacki for my daughter's 4th birthday party. She did a ventriloquist show, face painting, and balloon twisting. Kids and adults alike loved her show especially! Jacki was entertaining, talented, professional, and so kind. Would hire again. Highly recommend! Thank you again Jacki!

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!

Jacki was stellar w her puppet performance and balloon twisting skills at my daughters birthday party. She showed up on time plus her personality and ability to connect w kids was so fun to watch! I highly recommend her for kids parties and entertainment.

We hired Jacki for the first time as a ventriloquist and we were a little nervous not knowing what to expect. Jacki was excellent!! She had my residents (both high and low functioning) in stitches! Don't hesitate to hire her...she was worth every penny!

Jacki came to our summer camp program again this year. After a long year she provided very much needed laughter and fun for our kiddos. They absolutely loved it and we love having Jacki and her friends visit us every year. Would highly recommend her for any event.

The students had such a great time ! We can’t wait to have Jackie back again ! 10 Stars

This is the third year we've had Jacki preform for our Summer Campers & she never lets us down! Her show keeps all my campers engaged because the magic comes from ALL of them! Jackie we look forward to having you return next year!

Jacki is amazing!!! She has performed for us on several special occasions from birthdays to holidays and celebrations! She is able to keep children of all ages captivated with her alluring show while entertaining adults alike! In a world full of uncertainty, stress, and lack of laughter, Jacki brings a brightness factor, as she shines through her performance. She makes you think of simpler times and happy days. Her demeanor is very positive, friendly, and professional. She is trustworthy and dependable as well. You don’t need to look any further when seeking awesome entertainment for your event.

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!

This is our second show with Jacki. The kids love her! They laughed hysterically and were in awe of her magic tricks. Here are some of their comments:
"She is so funny"
"I didn't know girls could be magicians"
"I like the puppets"

It was such an enjoyable performance. The puppets are cute and Ms. Jacki was a joy.

We have had Ms. Jacki for the past two summers come and entertain our students. She gets all of our children laughing and having a great time (Ages 3-13). The children really enjoy her shows and look forward to them.

I contacted Jacki for my son’s 5th birthday party. Despite the torrential downpour, Jacki was fantastic! She kept the group of 3-6 year olds engaged and laughing out loud the entire time! She was fantastic! I would recommend her to all of my friends looking for birthday party entertainment!!

Jacki Manna did an awesome job. She was so professional, brought all of her own equipment, and kept the kids engaged. Jacki tailored the show to meet the needs of our camp. The kids loved the puppets and magic tricks!

Jackie was great and the kids were very entertained and happy the entire time .

Jacki was entertaining for all of our students, from Kindergarten to 5th grade! She changed to show up to keep our two age groups engaged. Even the adults were cracking up at her jokes!

We absolutely loved having Jacki come out to our school! Not only was she so sweet but her show was so much fun AND educational! All the children were engaged and had such a blast! We plan on having her come out next summer for sure!

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.

Jacki was incredibly entertaining at my sons 3rd birthday party. I’m not sure who enjoyed her performance more…the kids or the parents! She made everyone feel so comfortable, she was funny and incredibly talented. We are so happy to have had her, and she made his birthday party a big hit! We would definitely recommend Jacki!

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!

We hired Jackie to run 3 shows, early childhood, elementary school, and middle school. She nailed all three! Really talented woman, and I highly recommend you bringing her out to your next event! She’s guaranteed to keep everyone entertained!!

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!

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.

From start to finish, Jacki was amazing. All the children were glued to her the entire time.
Face painting and balloons were a huge hit as well.

Jacki was the entertainment for my daughter’s fifth birthday. She captured the everyone’s attention for the entire show. Adults and children loved it! My daughter is still talking about it.

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.

We booked the lovely Ms. Jacki for our preschool facility. She was so amazing that we have had her come back multiple times! We would definitely recommend her for any type of party!

The kiddos laughed along the whole time ! Jacki did an amazing job of keeping the attention of 30+ preschoolers!!

Jacki was amazing and kept the kids so entertained! Her face painting was beautiful and the balloon animals were great! I would love to have Jacki back at my school!

Jacki was amazing! The kids loved her show and so did the adults. Thanks so much Jacki for making this a very special day for a very special little girl!

Jackie was terrific for adults and kids and kept everyone engaged.. will def. hire her again. Highly recommend!

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!!!! Thank thank Jackie!

Jackie was a absolute delight to work with and a consummate professional. My nieces and nephews are still talking about her show - and trying their hand at ventriloquism, much to their parents' "joy." She's great, funny, and really delivers. I can't recommend Jackie highly enough!

We had such an amazing time with Jacki, all the kids and parents loved her show.
Definitely a great addition to my daughter birthday party.

Jacki was professional and hilarious!

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!

Our group of kids (ages 3 to 10) loved Ms. Jacki. They laughed so hard throughout the entire show. We will make sure to schedule a show again next summer.

Jacki was great. We had three different shows for three different age groups and each group loved the show. Some kids even asked if she could come back again or if they could have her at their birthday party! Would recommend for any party or internal field trip!

I would highly recommend Jack Manna for entertaining your child(ren)! Not only was she professional, she was funny, kept their attention, educational and the children and staff loved her.

Jackie was so wonderful! We had a large group and she kept all of our kiddos intrigued the whole time! Thank you Ms. Jackie!

Jackie performance had our staff and children laughing from beginning until the end! During this time of uncertainty it was exactly what our program needed. We can't wait to book her again!

Jacki was prompt, professional and FUN! Our Summer campers LOVED her. They are still talking about her performance to this day. I would recommend her for any event. She is very flexible and has a show for every theme!

Our group of campers really enjoyed Jacki's show! Very interactive and action-packed. Our campers ranging in age of 5-12 were engaged throughout! We are looking forward to our next show.

We had Jacki come to our daughters 3rd birthday party at our house. She arrived on time and stayed until every kid had their face painted and a balloon! She even accommodated the parents who wanted face painting :)! She was great with the kids and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great time! I’ve seen her shows at other parties and would recommend those as well. I would definitely hire Jacki again!

Jacki is a wonderful entertainer and knows how to handle a large group of excited kids. Her show is very interactive and captivating.

Absolutely mind boggling and mesmerising! When looking for a magician for my daughters 6th birthday party I’d stated that I wanted something mind blowing and Jacki did not disappoint. Super friendly and highly entertaining and I highly recommend her. Thank you Jacki for kicking off the event in pure style, will definitely be using you again!

We wanted something original for our six year old girl’s birthday party.I researched online for the best rated show in the area, I found Jacki Manna and her ventriloquism, magic show, then I realized she is the complete entertainment packet, face painting and ballon twister. We had a bunch of guest, everybody was happy and giving me compliments about the spectacular show. I recommend Jacki Manna for all your events because she is the best show for the entire family.

Talk about the perfect entertainer for the event! Jacki Manna livened up the party for both the kiddos and adults ranging in ages 5 to “you don’t want to know.” Using her creativity, wit, and professionalism, she went from one joke to the next, never skipping a beat in good wholesome fun. Jacki was fully rehearsed and ready to make the guests laugh from the moment her acted started till the end — she is one very talented lady.

Jacki was a delight! She introduced us to several puppets (Matilda was my favorite) and her excellent skills made them come to life. Her magic was so much fun too. My residents asked for a return as soon as possible and I booked her again! Loved it!

Jacki was fantastic! She did an excellent job at my daughters 8th birthday. The kids loved the act, and she did a phenomenal job keeping them engaged and attentive which was impressive as 2nd graders don’t always follow directions. The humor was great for us adults too. I would highly recommend Jacki for any event that you want to have a good time!

I hired Jacki manna for my granddaughter's 5th birthday!
She was very professional, arrived on time, friendly. She put on a phenomenal show. Both my granddaughter and all the guest really loved her performance! I have already been recommending her to other people! I definitely would hire her again!!!!

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 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!

I cannot recommend Jacki enough! I booked her as a ventriloquist to come to our school and talk about the letter "V" with our students. She did not disappoint! 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. Everyone cannot wait to have her back next year. Not only was her performance fantastic but she was very easy to book with and was very kind to follow up and thank us for having her. We are already looking forward to next year!

This is our third year using Jacki Manna. We are blessed to had her doing the full kids entertainment in our events, from 20 kids to 150 kids, She is great, very professional, always on time and well prepared, the most beautiful messages at her Ventriloquist show and she rocks with her face painting.... We love her and the most important the kids love her!!!! Thank you so much Jacki for share your talents and bring so much joy to our kids! God bless you always.

Really enjoyed having Jacki face paint. She was timely, professional and the face painting art work superb. The kids ages ranged from 3-9 and she was patient and knew how to engage with them. I look forward to working with her again.

Always happy to see you
You bring a smile for kids of all ages

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!

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.

Jacki was amazing!!! She kept the young children entertained and even the adults were laughing. I would definitely recommend Jacki Manna and JoJo Bean to any event.

Jacki is the most amazing ventriloquist I have ever seen. She has performed at my neighborhood Halloween block party for more than 20 years. The kids AND adults love her and her show. Jacki is the best!

I had the great privilege to be at a couple events of Jacki around town and then hired her for a couple events for our neighborhood parties. Kids love her! She keeps them glued to her poppet show, she involves them in games and she does beautiful face painting!!!! She been entertaining our neighborhood for 20 years!!!!

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!

Love her gentle Spirit. She always knows how to entertain kids of all ages from 0 to 100 and leave them feeling joy. I highly recommend Jacki

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacki came to my children’s school and they absolutely loved her! She did a lot of things that I’ve never seen a ventriloquist do! She is very friendly and creative!

Jacki was on time, professional and perfect for my kids 4 and 6 birthday party! She did a some magic and ventriloquist as requested. The little giggles were the best! She held everyone’s attention even the adults! I would definitely use her again! You won’t be disappointed! 5 stars !

Jacki is a talented ventriloquist who brings joy to children. Her face painting was a hit! And her puppet show was exceptional. I highly recommend Jacki! You will not be disappointed.

I have seen Jacki Manna present several programs over the past years, and she is always engaging, funny, entertaining and professional. She has a great rapport with the children, and everyone (including parents and caregivers) enjoy the show.

Jacki was great with the kids. They were all engaged in the skits with her and very attentive. Will definitely have her back next year for our camp kids.

We loved our visit from Jacki Manna. She did an awesome job entertaining our children!

Jacki provides the best entertainment for children! Our summer camp campers were enraptured during her performance. Her interactive show provides lessons AND entertainment. We book Jacki Manna each summer because we know our campers will have a fun-filled and educational afternoon!

The kids and adults had a great time, the puppets and the show in general was a hit.

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!

I have been working with Jacki for many years. She has been an outstanding entertainer for children at different events. She last entertained children after a funeral to help my son and other kids cope with a loss of a grandfather. I definitely would hire her again a million times. Her kind and gentle spirit even warms the hearts of adults. Thank you Jacki for all you do.

Very entertaining and fun. Patriotic reinforcement was a plus at our gathering.

I can’t say enough about Jacki. She had a great show. The kids got to participate and there was a lot of laughing during the show. She kept the kids attention throughout the performance. I would definitely recommend her for your event.

My daughter has requested Jacki Manna 2 years in a row. The entertainment, laughter and Magic Show are just amazing. Both the children and the adults were all entertained.
Thanks for a great show!

Jacki works magic with balloons as well. There is something about kids with painted faces and balloons that just never gets old.

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!

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.

We attended Jackie's second entertainment event at a friends birthday party and both the times it was awesome. We highly recommend hiring her.

Jacki was a total hit at our school carnival! She was so easy to work with, professional, and made our less-than-ideal set-up work perfectly for her show. Kids and parents were both thoroughly entertained the entire time. I would highly recommend her as an addition to your next party!

Ventriloquism is soooo funny - Jacki did such a nice job. Kids were so excited. Time passed by in seconds.
Glad to have booked Jacki. Thank you so much.

A huge thank you, Jackie, for pulling off a great show for our daughters 4th Birthday party. It was brilliant. The kids absolutely loved it and my daughter had a really wonderful, special day. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a well organised, professional, fun and personable entertainer. Thank you so much.😊

We can’t say enough about Manna the Great! She is clever and engaging with lots of tricks up her sleeves. Our 9 year old wholeheartedly beleives in her magic!

My family and I hosted a party for my 5 year old niece. We ended up waiting until the last minute to book the entertainment, so we greatly appreciate how Jackie Manna was able to come out on such short notice. Her show was amazing and so hilarious!! She had both kids And the adults laughing. Magic show, ventriloquism, face painting and balloon twisting: all for such an affordable price. Thanks again for everything.

Jacki had the kids mesmerized and laughing out loud while the adults were just as entertained! She is patient and able to roll with the show when the kids interrupted the ventriloquism. This will definitely be one party to beat as I received lots of compliments!

We had an awesome afternoon with Ms. Jacki, big & small kids alike! Thank you for making our son’s birthday so meaningful & full of fun! We are very glad you celebrated with us..thank you very very much from the bottom of our hearts! Wish we could have you in every occasion.

N.B. Triple awesome wholesome fun! Highly recommended!

I hired Jackie at the last minute to entertain my parents and students in Poinciana. I didn’t exactly know what to expect since I found her via online search. She was amazing and I will definitely hire her again.

Jackie is an amazing artist, I booked her for my son's first birthday party. We had around 30 kids of all age groups and she was amazing with her magic shows, puppet show and face painting. All our guests, including adults, loved her show. It was a huge hit. Will definitely recommend Jackie to anyone who wants to have some fun at their party.

Totally recommended. She is very nice and the kids loved the show. Amazing!

We are so grateful the Lord lead us to Jacki Manna and Company. She gave not only a professional program, it had the reason for the season of Christmas and open opportunity to know Jesus. The message was both gentle and direct and we pray those that were not certain of their salvation will have some thought about the message delivered. She was sincere, fun and entertaining!

Jacki gave an awesome performance for the Paullina high school class of 1953 reunion! All were howling with laughter.

Our thanks to Jacki for coming out to Flagler County Schools Summer Camp this summer. It was wonderful for the children. They all enjoyed the show and the interaction was awesome.

We had lots of fun with her magic tricks 💜💜💜💜💜

Jackie has been providing Balloon Artistry and Face Painting for our school Spirit Nights at our McDonald's stores. She is always a professional, and always pleases our schools and customers!

Jacki Manna was the host for our three day Vacation Bible School.
She did an amazing job in keeping around 150 kids entertained throughout the meeting. All the kids loved her. She also conveyed the gospel to the kids using her different puppet characters. In short, she was super fun and entertaining. I would definitely recommend her for all events that involves kids!!!!

Jackie has done a surperb job of providing her face painting service at our festivals for several years. She is always in demand.

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!

Ms. Manna is a consumate professional. Her show mezmerizes the kids snd they become immersed in the fun. She always delivers more than expected.

Excellent entertainment for your party. The children were so happy with interacting with Jackie and the green little friend. So complete show with magic, ventriloquist and face painting. The kids loved them!

We worked together at a charity event called Princess Ball for little girls and their fathers. Jacki got into a bad car accident right before the event started but she managed to SHOW UP and did a WONDERFUL job!! I can’t thank her enough for her talent and kind heart. All the girls love their face paints, Jacki! 💗

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.

We celebrate my two kids 1st birthday with talented Miss Manna best magician balloon twister ventriloquist in central Florida we had a great show for my kids and friends. Had lots of fun with Jojo Bean. If you guys are looking for fun quality entertainment and love ❤️ for your little ones party Miss Manna is the one. We highly
recommend her
Thanks Miss Manna

I hired Jacki for an in-store event. Jacki definitly kept the children interested and engaged with her show! Our little customers also enjoyed the balloons she made but I think my staff enjoyed their balloon hats more. Lol! I will definitely keep her in mind for my next event.

Jacki Manna was invited for our church VBS and we are so glad she was part of it! The kids absolutely loved her. Her ventroquilism and her face painting skills  were amazing! She interacted and involved the kids throughout the show.   The gospel and memory verses were broken down to an easy level  so that even the youngest ones could understand . The kids still talk about how much fun they had with her show. Jacki is truly talented and passionate .She was such a sweet person to be around and such a blessing.May God bless her and use her more!

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.

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!

We really enjoy Jackie conducting our staff parties. She has amazing talents, no one is ever disappointed about her skills as a magician, comedian or Ventriloquist!!!

Jackie Manna continues to encourage audiences with her passion for Magic and Ventriloquism. She is talented and creative, and her shows continue to inspire those around her. She also offers beautiful face paint, and so much more! A must see for any event. Book Jackie Manna!

Jacki Manna is a standard bearer in children’s entertainment, never missing an opportunity to provide teachable moments in the arena of character development through her creative characters, shows and a varied menu of artistic offerings. As a seasoned full-time elementary school educator, she knows and understands children. As an entertainment entrepreneur and business woman, she is a consummate professional. Jacki Manna touches the lives of both children and adults with love and a wonderful brand of wit, personality and entertainment.

She is super nice!! She completely entertained my guests and is an excellent artist. Everybody was delighted by her magic tricks and ventriloquist skills! Highly recommend!!

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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.

Jackie did a GREAT job entertaining my family and friends for my brother's birthday party. The audience was made up of all adults from mid-30s to some over 80s. And everyone enjoyed her show! I highly recommend her for any family get together!

A wonderful show, very funny and talented. She even personalized jokes for the audience and made the whole family feel included in the show. The last act had the everyone almost in tears. Her magic tricks and puppets combined for a wonderful hour of fun and I'd recommend her for any gig in need of some great entertainment~

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.

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 did an amazing job at my daughters birthday party. We received many compliments and my husband and I were very pleased we had her there. The children loved her and she was a terrific addition to our party. Thank you Jacki and see you next year.!!!!!

I just wanted to say thank you for the fabulous job you did at my daughter's 6th birthday party. You remembered she likes ducks, Hello Kitty, and included her little brother. These details mean so much. You were wonderful! Thank you, again.

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.

I am so blessed I had the opportunity to meet Jacki. She is indeed a entertainer who aims to please the children and families she serves. Jacki is passionate about her work. I will definitely consult with Jacki again for future upcoming events.

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!

Jacki made my son feel so important and special at his 4th birthday. He talks about her puppet, Jo Jo Bean, all the time. She even made me and the other adults laugh. I highly recommend her for any children's party!
