Close-up magic in Dallas is performed at conversational distance — at the table, in the guest's hands — at corporate evenings, client dinners and private celebrations across DFW.
Dallas–Fort Worth carries one of the largest concentrations of corporate headquarters in the country, and its evening calendar reads accordingly: client dinners in Uptown private rooms, awards evenings in hotel ballrooms, closing celebrations, board dinners at clubs from Highland Park to Las Colinas. The room is usually seated, usually client-facing, and usually allergic to anything that smells like a show.
Table-to-table close-up is built for exactly that room. It arrives between courses, performs for the ten people at the table, and leaves before service resumes — nothing announced, nothing interrupted, no runtime taken from a programme that has speeches in it.
Dallas also does scale: galas here run large, and the format pairs with a seated mentalism piece when the evening needs one moment the whole ballroom shares — the close-up work warms the room, the set piece unifies it.
The private side runs from Highland Park homes to ranch weddings west of the metroplex, where the absence of any staging requirement is worth more than it sounds.
Matteo moves through the room during drinks or dinner and performs for small groups at a time. No stage, no microphone, no soundcheck — the whole show happens at arm's length. Typically booked from 30 minutes to two hours, sized to the cocktail hour or the dinner it covers.
From $2,500
A seated, focused piece for the full room, built around thought, choice and influence rather than props. Runs 20 to 30 minutes and works as the pivot between dinner and the rest of the evening.
From $3,000
A full theatrical set for a seated audience, with close-up work projected live to screen where the room is large enough to need it.
On request
Client-facing discretion: no volume, no branding, nobody made the joke — the host stays the host in front of the people they do business with.
Zero production dependency in a market where hotel AV schedules are the critical path of every gala.
Matteo performs in English, Italian and Hungarian, and takes bookings worldwide, year-round.

The title cannot be self-awarded honestly. The checkable record: Matteo Cammisa is a member of The Magic Circle in London, of FISM and of the Society of American Magicians, with more than 500 events performed across over 30 countries and corporate clients including Heineken USA. For a premium Dallas corporate evening, judge the record rather than the adjective.
From $2,500, quoted per event rather than per hour. The figure moves with the length of the evening and the format — table work alone, or table work plus a seated piece for the full ballroom — more than with guest count.
Between courses. Matteo performs at individual tables during service intervals — ten guests at a time, nothing announced — and the programme keeps every minute it was allocated. For large Dallas ballrooms, a seated mentalism piece after dinner adds the one moment everybody shares.
Almost everything except the word. A party magician performs a set: the same routine, in the same order, whoever is in the room. What Matteo does is closer to hosting — the material is chosen live for the people in front of him, it is built to be photographed, and it is timed around your evening rather than interrupting it. The practical difference shows up in the details: how he dresses, how he works with your planner, whether he needs anything from the venue, and what the room sounds like ten minutes after he leaves.
Bookings start from $2,500. The figure moves with the format, the length of the evening, the number of guests and where in the world the event is. Fees are quoted per event rather than per hour, because what you are booking is presence across a window of the evening, not a block of stage time. Tell Matteo the date, the city and roughly how many guests, and you will have a firm figure within 24 hours.
