Paul Miller

Description

Paul's blend of comedy magic, spectacular juggling, and quick wit will keep you riveted and ready for anything. His 100% clean show involves the entire audience and engages individual volunteers while never offending or embarrassing.

Paul Miller graduated from Bentley University in 1994 with a degree in accounting. After spending exactly zero days as an accountant, he embarked on an adventure that included waiting tables, working with the Hawaii Volcano Circus, managing a textile factory in Indonesia, and finally founding a performance based education company in North Carolina. Upon studying silent film greats Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin along with stand-up comedy masters like Robin Williams and Steve Martin, Paul embarked on a path of hilarious and wholesome entertainment.

Paul Miller has performed his act nationally and internationally for Fortune 500 companies, Off-Broadway, and Disney Cruise Lines. His high degree of competency with juggling and magic, combined with his comic timing and easy, personable demeanor gives him the skills necessary to successfully entertain and enrich any gathering.

His show is a quick set-up/break down and is a perfect fit for any event where adults, college students, or family audiences gather for entertainment. Be it a corporate event, festival or theater setting, Paul will be a hit!

Available Programs:

Comedy, Magic and Juggling

Celebrate your company's achievements, staff, or the year end with a high-energy performance. Paul is happy to adapt his program to meet specific themes such as small business, entrepreneurship, or safety. He is professional, fully insured, and can present his program in either formal or festive attire. Whatever your needs, be confident that you can sit back and relax knowing that everyone is going to have a great time.

Strolling Entertainment

Close-up magic that is truly astonishing. Delivered with Paul's comedic timing and openness to the moment, there is no better combination for engaging small groups before a show, in a hospitality suite, or at a trade show/conference.

Keynote Presentation: "Nothing New for Business Leaders"

Paul's keynote presentations are refreshingly entertaining. He juggles. He performs magic. He engages and involves lots of audience members. But what he doesn't do: teach anything new. Paul understands that the challenge to strong leadership and effective management is often not a lack of knowledge but rather, remembering a key insight at just the right moment. By pairing absurd scenarios and spectacular stunts with important business concepts, Paul creates visual images that make lasting impressions.

Team Building

Paul Miller and educator Dawn Daria are also available to present break-out sessions for participants at your conference.

• Twisted Teams: Barriers are immediately broken down when balloons come out. This playful workshop introduces basic balloon twisting skills. Participants then face balloon twisting challenges that reinforce positive team work and creative thinking.
• Juggling Strong Leaders: Identify the qualities of strong leadership through the process of learning to juggle. Whether leading a seminar, managing a staff, or advocating for an organization, participants can apply these characteristics to their roles as leader and team player.
• Finding Common Ground: Workplaces are filled with departments, divisions, and inherent hierarchy that often prevent individuals from connecting as a team. Provide your group with the opportunity to connect through play. Skill toys from around the world will surprise everyone and create a level playing field of fun. Debriefing will focus on how individuals learn and react to stress differently.
