December 10, 2024Awesome
John's show was awesome. The skeptics were converted, and everyone was amazed. A fun, engaging experience that people are still talking about :)
Booking was very simple, John was quick to respond during the booking phase, and in person is very kind and approachable. I highly recommend.

December 22, 2022AMAZING SHOW!!!
I was floored, as was my entire team, with John's mentalism and magic. He is seasoned professional and is a natural with what he does; he was born to be a performer and will keep you wondering each and every minute how he does what he does.
I could even imagine him being on America's Got Talent one day; asking Heidi up to the stage to assist him
If you haven't already booked his act; it's a must, for any event, he will wow any crowd; guaranteed!
5 STARS!

My office is a tough crowd, per-se. But John absolutely nailed it with his personal table to table shows and his final mentalism show in front of the crowd. He was absolutely wonderful and magical! I highly recommend.

November 3, 2025Still Can’t Figure Out How He Did It!
We booked John Vincelli for our building’s Halloween Party, and he was absolutely fantastic! The tenants were blown away by his performance, it was fun, interactive, and full of jaw-dropping moments. John kept everyone entertained all evening, moving from group to group and creating such a great atmosphere. Even I got completely fooled by his final trick! I was shocked and amazed! Highly recommend John if you’re looking to add some real magic to your event! 🎩✨
