Mario Orsini has been referred to as a Magician, Mentalist and Illusionist. He doesn’t focus his energies in just one area of magic but instead spends time studying them all. Born in 1981 in Winchester, Virginia, Mario began studying the art of magic at the age of 10. He was constantly astounding his family, friends and anyone willing to watch. However, after practicing magic for a few years, Mario took a 10 year hiatus from magic. After graduating from Musselman High School, Mario studied Criminal Justice at Marshall University, earning his Bachelor’s Degree in 2003. He also completed a Master's Degree in Communications through WVU in December 2009.

Shortly after graduation from Marshall, Mario was on a weekend trip in Atlantic City when the magic bug bit him once again. After talking to a magician working a magic booth for what seemed like minutes but was in fact over an hour, Mario dived head first back into magic. Since that time he has entertained thousands with his astonishing close-up magic, mind-blowing mentalism and unbelievable illusions.
