Magic Dante

I was going to book him for our twins' birthday, so I went to a friend's party to see him in action. It was cringe-worthy.

He was sort of mindlessly twisting balloons, and at the same time flirting with the children's mothers, right in front of them. I heard him say "***" and "***" and act as if a bunch of little kids we not right in front of him. I looked on Yelp and ALL THE REVIEWS were good.

I looked on "NOT RECOMMENDED" reviews and that is where all of the negative reviews were hidden, I guess one can buy this service of getting rid of bad review? I would not recommend.

The man was NOT FAIR. He totally did not treat the child with kindness and the parent got mad because he saw the cruelty with their own eye.

Mr. Mancini would not back down and continued the sadist festival of bad vibes and constant put downs toward the people of color, particularly the mexican and orientals. OTHER MAGICIANS ARE BETTER THAN MAGIC DANTE. THE MAN SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO 13 CHILDREN AND THREE PARENTS.

NOW. THE MAN IS NOT GOING TO HEAVEN.

very poor taste of joke and try to extort monies from the poor people of Oakland, CA. Thank you very much.

You will be sorry if you hire this horrible and drunken performer. The man is quite rude with his comments and his attitude is poor.

Mr. Dante Mancini, who is a resident of San Jose, is not a nice man to say the least. He was very mean to the children, who must pay to get a balloon, and who he did not pick the kids in the front of the line just to see them suffer.

He laughed at the pain on the face of the disappointed child who cried all the time after Mr. Mancini was so rude to deny them a balloon.

His behavior at the Art in Nature festival was reprehensible. So I checked him out and realized he is a Yelp Fraud.

How do I know? I wrote a negative review and it was NOT POSTED. This man is very bad acting treating children with cruelty and ***-like. He ignored children waiting for a long time for balloons and was very mean to them and the parent.

He was smug and assholic. He manipulates GigSalad and Yelp into lies that make him seem good when he is actually a huge hot pile of feecie.

I saw it. He was sooooo mean to the kids.

He seemed like he didn't want to be there, and I think I could smell alcohol. The man was so bitter and cruel to some nice-acting kids. He looked at them with anger and disrespect. Maybe he was just drunk or hates kids, but I think he is not so good for this job.

Maybe he should work at a jail or some place like that, but I think he is not a nice guy.

Also his magic trick was *** and he use foul language words. At least he should say sorry to the kids he make cry.

DO NOT HIRE THIS SO-CALLED MAGICIAN, MAGIC DANTE, in San Francisco Bay Area! I was appalled at this man's behavior at the recent Art in Nature festival.

First of all, at the otherwise free festival, "Dante" was *** for dollars to make *** balloon animals. No $, no balloon for the poor kids. Secondly, I was shocked to hear his comments to and about the kids who did not get balloons. He did not have or tell the kids to get in a line, so he was picking the kids he wanted to sell the balloons too, and leaving others to wait for up to an hour in the hot sun.

He took frequent breaks, and told kids "too bad" and laughed at their disappointment. He was telling one disappointed little kid "You can have your money back." His apparent joy at disappointing the kids was borderline sadistic.

I would have very serious concerns about letting this person near your children, and would definitely do a background check and make sure he's not on Megan's List as well. Something is not right with this guy.
