Here's what Chris's Clients had to say...

You held their attention and you gave them lots of information as well as provided them some hands on things to do and to take home. I don’t think the show could have been any better. Thank you so much.  

                  - Cindy Mares, Program Coordinator, Arapahoe Library

(Have you ever just imagined the number of people who have avoided drugs, rejected stupid behaviors, changed their lives because of what Chris Manos has done?......It is a tribute to your life that all this has happened......and if you weren't there delivering the message, someone who was influenced/ inspired by your writing and work....was there to speak the ideas......There is a star in heaven, Chris.....thanks...)

          - Earl Reum, Master Magician

The program was very interesting and fun for the kids as well as being educational.  We appreciate that our library and Mr. Manos offer the younger library patrons such excellent opportunities.  

                  -Deb M., Parent

Thank you so much for performing at Vi. The residents were delighted with the show. I appreciate your professionalism and willingness to perform on New Year’s Eve.  Have a safe journey~

         - Jeanne Adams, Lifestyle Director ViLiving

Manos, "The Magnificent!" Absolutely!!...I particularly admire your ability to capture and maintain the attention of of an audience in a transitory situation...that is an audience whose primary purpose for gathering was something other than a experience in illusion. That's tough. By all means, I would be honored to be quoted recognizing your magnificence in any manner you see fit.

                 - Sandy Travis, KYGO FM Radio 

It was so enlightening and one of the more fun programs we’ve ever had.

                 - Meredith Miller, Smoky Hill United Methodist Church

I sent a birthday girl from my work last week (to Fujiyama Sushi and Hibachi) and she said that you were awesome!

           - Sharon McKee

Chris does so well with the children, and the children respond so well to him. He’s a Gem!

                 - Jan Spencer, Willows Early Learning Center

Chris's workshop was the most attend and the highest rated at our annual sales conference.

                - Barbara Kahatmali, IBM Corporation 

Chris had a marvelous magical impact on our handicapped students. It was indeed apparent to all that he had the audience in the palm of his hand. Their genuine enthusiasm and active participation resulted in a totally enjoyable experience.

                - Ronald W. Condron, Principal, Rosemary Kennedy School

I’ve never seen kids enjoy anything so much. We had a nature show last week with a bald eagle, and you even rated above the bald eagle with the kids. Now that’s high praise!

               - Susie Balagna, Cherry Creek School District

The magic shows are "Standing Room" only, and your talents, a legend!

               - Marlu Burkamp, Arapahoe Library District 

I can't tell you how much the class and I enjoyed your visit! You should be very proud of your accomplishment--Being able to reach all levels--making the adults and the children laugh--and believe me, I laughed!!

- Andrea Tippsrewicz, Ridgeview Hills Pre-School

Judging by the crowds reaction to the entertainment you provided, you are on our "must" list for a return engagement next year!

- Donna Booser, Denver Symphony Orchestra

I had many favorable comments from the parents and children! We look forward to having you come to our school again.

We all enjoyed the magic you did to emphasize your point.
