Mentalist blending magic with human connection and memory
Performed over 1,000 shows at Hollywood Magic Castle
Memorises over 100 audience members' names instantly

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 Hollywood 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.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?
