“Children young and old have just had the privilege of being thoroughly entertained at Moonee Valley Library Service by the amazing Elio Simonetti...magician extraordinaire! Snazzy and funny, he kept us all enthralled, gob-smacked and laughing. A complete professional in his performance, which he presented to an audience aged from 4 to 104. We all loved the show, and look forward to seeing him again!”

“We presented Elio’s show and it went off like a rocket! The delivery was really slick and clear and the magic performed was of the highest order. The audience all got swept along by the pace and strength of the show and were totally amazed at what they were seeing. The workshop session gave them a couple of great take-away tricks they could use to amaze everyone at home. Overall, a great package, and all very self contained and delivered with the minimum of fuss. The feedback from parents on the day (and after) was overwhelmingly positive.”
