Mat O'Neill is a mentalist and illusionist who uses mentalism and magic to create moments where strangers feel genuinely seen and connected. Fluent in four languages, he has performed for 20,000+ people across five continents, headlining The Magic Castle and Masters of Illusion.
Mat O'Neill is a magician, mentalist, and motivational speaker who transforms memory feats and mind reading into tools for human connection.
Mat has performed over 1,000 shows at The Magic Castle, where he was accepted into the Junior Society at age 15. In February 2024, he drew standing-room-only crowds at the world's largest magic convention in Blackpool, England. He has appeared on the television series Masters of Illusion, headlined the Magical Mystery Show at Maui's Kea Lani Resort, and served as ringmaster and resident illusionist at the Diaghilev dinner theater in Los Angeles.
Fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Russian, Mat opens each show by rapidly memorizing every audience member's name, then uses this foundation to demonstrate what he calls connective superpowers. He blends mentalism, magic, and memory work to create moments where strangers feel genuinely seen and linked to one another.
Beyond the performance itself, Mat speaks directly to the power of connectivity, exploring how attention, recall, and presence can transform the way people relate to colleagues, clients, and communities. His work gives audiences not just an experience to remember, but a framework they can carry back to their organizations.
Book Mat O'Neill to transform your next event into an unforgettable experience where every audience member feels genuinely seen.

Email mat.oneill@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Mat's availability and fees. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and a bit about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
