Michael Mills
Michael Mills creates comedy magic that leaves audiences genuinely fooled and thoroughly entertained. A performer and live entertainment producer with 20+ years of experience, Michael works with private events, theaters, and resorts, delivering shows built on charm, misdirection, and real laughs.
Michael Mills is a comedy magician and live entertainment producer who blends sleight of hand with quick wit to create shows that feel genuinely surprising.
Michael got his start performing at the classic resorts of the Catskill and Adirondack regions of upstate New York. He went on to found Mills Entertainment, now one of the country's leading live touring production companies, and recently debuted his one-man show Fool Me Once at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, becoming the first magician to perform at the storied venue in its 63-year history.
Michael builds his shows around the idea of turning a room full of strangers into willing co-conspirators. His style is playful and unhurried, with a mischievous edge that keeps audiences off balance in the best possible way. He has performed at hundreds of private events, corporate meetings, theaters, clubs, and resorts, and has appeared at the Chicago Magic Lounge. Every trick lands not just as a feat of skill but as a punchline.
Audiences leave Michael's shows with the particular satisfaction of having been fooled by someone who made them laugh while doing it. The experience is light, social, and memorable.

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.
