Eli Manning

Two-Time Super Bowl-Winning Quarterback & Two-Time Super Bowl MVP

 

With an incredible work ethic, iron-man mentality and natural leadership skills as constants throughout his 16 years in the NFL, Eli Manning made a name for himself as one of the elite quarterbacks in the game.

 

He led the New York Giants to Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots in both 2008 and 2012, earning Super Bowl MVP honors each time. Some of his other notable achievements include being named to four Pro Bowls, holding second place for most consecutive starts by an NFL QB, and setting Giants franchise records in numerous offensive categories before retiring at the end of the 2019 season. Manning was inducted into the New York Giants Ring of Honor and had his No. 10 jersey retired during a special halftime ceremony during the 2021 season.

 

Manning is a graduate of the University of Mississippi, where he received numerous academic and athletic honors, including the Maxwell Award as the nation's best all-around player, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete Award, and SEC Player of the Year, to name just a few. He graduated with a degree in Marketing and was the number one selection in the 2004 NFL Draft. During the 2021 season, his number became just the third in University of Mississippi football history to be retired.

Live from Boston! Featured entertainment at RBC 2023

Put your hands together for this year’s featured entertainment, Justin Willman – a magician and comedian who has cemented himself as one of today’s most prolific entertainers. Join us at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 21 for a family-friendly performance and an evening of nonstop fun.

 

About Justin Willman

In 2018, Willman premiered his six-episode magic series on Netflix entitled Magic For Humans with Justin Willman. In the series, Willman brings his skills as a magician to the strange and misunderstood subcultures of America, while incorporating his disarming demeanor into street magic and social experiments that will boggle the mind. 

 

Upon premiering, the show instantly became one of the most streamed shows on Netflix with clips from the show garnering over 150 million views to date across social media, even sparking a viral meme. Indiewire called Willman the “perfect magician/hybrid prototype with incredible comedic timing,” and Rotten Tomatoes currently has the show listed at an 75% audience approval. Magic For Humans is currently streaming seasons 1-3 on Netflix.

 

In 2018, Willman had a residency aptly called “The Magic Show” at the historic and swanky Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. The Magic Show was an intimate performance in a hidden, unmarked theater inside the hotel and upon announcing the show, all shows sold-out almost immediately, while also attracting many of Hollywood’s most well-known names.

 

The L.A. Times exclaimed that Willman is, "A new breed of magician who's making magic cool again for grown-ups." Playboy Magazine dubbed him, "The freshest and funniest magician working today," and Time Out hailed that his show, "Has to be seen to be disbelieved.”

 

In March 2020 as Covid spread across the globe, Willman debuted MAGIC FOR HUMANS @HOME, a virtual paid Zoom show, which has since garnered an audience of over 500,000 people from around the world watching from the comfort of their living rooms. His goal was to take everything fans love about his Netflix show and pack it into a hilarious hour of mind-blowing magic and mind reading. The show is highly produced, and features magic interaction with families throughout the show.

 

Prior to Magic for Humans, Willman was known for his multiple appearances on The Tonight Show, Ellen and Conan. He also performed live at the White House for the Obama Family as well. His debut comedy/magic special Sleight of Mouth premiered on Comedy Central in 2015 to rave reviews. Willman is also a consultant & writer for film/television productions like America's Got Talent, The Goldbergs and Disney's feature film Magic Camp.

 

Justin was born in St. Louis, lives in Los Angeles, and does not own a rabbit.
