Nick Difatte
Learn to be a yoyo pro
Nick Diffatte is quickly becoming one of the most talked about and in demand young comedy magicians working today. At the age of 25, Nick has already been a featured performer at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, appeared on The Late Late Show on CBS, has held several residencies on the Las Vegas strip, headlines on Disney Cruise Line and has performed a multitude of shows at casinos, comedy clubs, and corporate events internationally.
When Nick isn’t on stage, he can usually be found with a yoyo in hand. Nick has been an award winning and deep practitioner of the “Art of Yo” , and now he’s going to show you all the ins and outs (ups and downs) of the sport. Step by step you will learn everything you need to know to learn one of the world’s oldest, and most fun, stress relieving, procrastination tools of all time.
Get ready to feel like a kid again, Nick shows you everything you need to know to impress your friends, ward off attackers, or even just take a short break from your hectic schedule with a nostalgic toy. Your kids might even think your cool (unlikely). During his entertaining 35 minute presentation/demonstration, he’ll even throw in a trick or two!

Virtual Show FAQs
What platform(s) do you perform on?
The preferred platform for this show is Zoom, although Webex and others can also work. We also offer an “Enhanced Production Package”, which can be streamed live just about anywhere.
How long is the show?
A standard (and strongly recommended) virtual show is 35 minutes in length. However, if you’re looking for a shorter performance, that is totally doable.
Does the length of the show affect the fee?
The show fee is based on a 35 minute performance - if you opt for a shorter show, that’s no problem, but the fee will not change as the setup and preparation for the event remains the same.
How many guests can attend the performance?
In the virtual world, an audience of any size can be accommodated! With that said, certain meeting platforms have size limitations… feel free to reach out for platform recommendations.
What do our guests need to be able to attend the performance?
Your guests will simply need a yoyo, an internet connection and a device capable of streaming video, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone. That, and a desire to have fun!
Where can we get the yoyo’s.
You have three options. The first is to ask the attendees to get their own yoyo in advance. They can be found at any Target, CVS, etc. We also will share the Amazon link where anyone can order their own. The second option is you can order the YoYo’s in bulk from us and distribute however you would like (part of a gift box). The third option is that we can send the Yoyo’s in individual boxes to your guests (with a “do not open until instructed sticker” to keep it a surprise).
If we send Individual boxes, can other gifts be added in?
Of course, lets talk.
Can you host our meeting and/or break up your performance?
Absolutely! Hosting a virtual event and/or making frequent interstitial appearances throughout is a common request and easily accomplished.
Can we have someone from our team present before your performance?
For sure! The show is often flanked by company presentations. Simply provide your event itinerary during the pre-show call so it’s clear when to be ready to “step out” onto the virtual stage.
Is the show family friendly?
Yes! This show is perfect for an adult or family audience.
Can we have a pre-show call with you?
Certainly! Each virtual show booking includes a pre-show meeting to discuss any outstanding questions pertaining to show content, tech specifications, etc. If you are looking for more of an ongoing consultation for your virtual event, we recommend our “Enhanced Production” package which includes a dedicated producer who will work with your team in designing your show or meeting from the ground up.
Do you have to see the audience?
This show is packed with audience engagement so it is important that your guests have their cameras turned on! If your platform is designed in a way where most of the guests cannot be seen, be sure to ask how many on-camera participants are needed for the show during your pre-show call.
Can you involve specific participants or clients?
Definitely! All recommendations of company “celebrities”, big personalities, and other VIP guests are welcomed - every attempt at incorporating them will be made.
What if someone doesn’t want to participate in the show?
Not a problem at all! Some people are camera-shy, and anyone who is unwilling to participate will not be required to.
Can we record the show?
While archival recording is prohibited, photos and screenshots are encouraged!
What precautions are taken to prevent an internet outage?
Great question. The show is broadcast from a device that is hard-wired to a modem to prevent potential Wi-Fi drops and interference from impacting the performance. While widespread internet service provider/power outages are always a possibility, an emergency backup streaming location is usually available.
Can the performance stream to different time zones?
A performance in any time zone can be accommodated. Once that time is locked down, an advantage of virtual performances is that audiences can tune in from the comfort of their homes, anywhere in the world, at that time.
