Mario Manzini is the Guinness World Champion Daredevil Escapologist (Escape Artist), Magician and all round professional top entertainer. He has appeared on most of the major TV shows and TV specials seen in over 40 countries world wide. He made headlines when arrested by New York City Police for his Brooklyn Bridge Jump on August 17, 1978.

He's performed at the biggest venues and show places through out the world. Since he was a small child he always wanted to be an entertainer in show business when he grew up, but his father had other plans for him. His father started training him since he was 6 years old to learn everything to one day become a member of La Cosa Nostra when he got older.

His father was in the Mafia and forced his son Mario to be involved in it against his wishes. Mario wanted to be an entertainer in show business. His father forced him to watch him dismember bodies of guys he killed when he was 9 years old and also made him watch him torture and shoot a man tied to a chair blowing the top of his head off.

On his 18th birthday his father gave him a loaded gun wanting him to kill a guy so that he would become a made man in the Genovese Mafia Crime Family which he refused to do and ran away from home after having a bloody fist fight with his father and almost killing him. His father forced him to come back and made him run his crime businesses and rackets. Mario had to do that but still his first love and passion was show business and entertaining families.

He never killed anyone and never dealt in drugs or porno but ran most of all the other Mob businesses for his father while still doing his shows as an escape artist, magician, Rock & Roll singer, guitar player, producer and promoter. He led a double life. One as Mario Manzini entertainer. The other as Dennis Migliore associate of the Mafia for his father all the time looking for a way out to escape the hold that his father had on him and just stay in show business.

His mother and father sexually molested him since he was 4 years old. His mother would beat him and torture him when he tried to get away from her. She'd burn his hands over the stove and with lite cigarettes and beat him with his fathers belt and with cat of nine tails whips. His father and mother would urinate on him when he was small. His father would pick him up while he was sleeping at age 5 and put him into bed with his own mother who was waiting to molest him as his father watched it all.

When he was 9 years old his father took him to the basement of his uncles butcher shop at night in the Bronx, NYC to watch all of the gang members dismember a corpse of a guy that they all killed. His father forced him to watch it and then when he tried to get away, his father called him vile names and sissy.

In show business Mario met and worked with the biggest names in the entertainment business such as Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash and so many others. He originated his aerial straitjacket escape suspended upside down high in the air from a burning rope.

He was almost killed many times during incidents that are unbelievable. He knew many of the biggest men in the Mafia such as John Gotti, Frank Costello, Tommy Eboli, Myer Lansky, Matty the Horse Ianniello, Joe Gallo, etc.

There are so many unbelievable incidents in this biography that most people will be shocked after reading it. His father was a hit man in the Genovese Mafia Crime Family having killed over 16 people over his long career as a gangster.
