Nick Diffatte
Nick Diffatte combines deadpan comedy and world-class magic into a show that works for any audience. A Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas headliner, CBS television performer, and Magic Castle regular with a track record across corporate events, cruises, and theaters globally.
Nick Diffatte is a comedian and magician whose act dismantles the traditional magic show format, replacing it with acerbic deadpan comedy and technically precise illusions.
A regular at Hollywood's legendary Magic Castle and a current headliner in Cirque du Soleil's hit Las Vegas residency Mad Apple at New York, New York Hotel and Casino, Nick has performed across theaters, cruise ships, universities, and major corporate stages for clients ranging from Disney to Cirque du Soleil. His television credits include a featured appearance on CBS's The Late Late Show with James Corden, and he has graced the cover of Vanish Magazine — one of the most respected publications in the world of magic.
Nick sets himself apart by blending award-winning sleight-of-hand magic with a dry, deadpan comedy style that draws comparisons to seasoned headliners twice his age. The result is a show that consistently delivers from the first moment to the last, weaving high-skill illusions with genuinely funny material, timed to perfection.
Nick is an unusual combination of world-class skill and genuine comedic talent who leaves audiences talking long after the last trick.

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.
