Jacksonville's event market is corporate-led and largely domestic — company evenings, awards dinners, weddings at the beaches and along the river. Matteo Cammisa performs close-up magic and mentalism in Jacksonville in a format that needs no stage, no sound and no runtime.
Jacksonville does not behave like South Florida. There is no compressed winter season, less destination traffic and a corporate base — insurance, logistics, banking, healthcare — that hosts its own events rather than importing them. The result is a steadier, more domestic calendar and a room that is usually colleagues and clients rather than travellers.
That room rewards a performance that does not announce itself. A company evening in Jacksonville is not an occasion where guests expect a headline act, and something that arrives as a surprise inside the evening lands better than something billed on the invitation.
The venue mix is riverfront properties, hotel function space, private dining rooms and the beaches. As everywhere, the format's advantage is that none of them need to provide anything — no stage, no power, no sound, no changeover.
Worth stating plainly: this is the smallest of the Florida markets covered here, and the case for booking an international performer rather than a regional one is a genuine judgement call rather than an obvious answer.
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
Corporate evenings and awards dinners, performed through drinks and between courses so the programme keeps its runtime.
Weddings, through cocktail hour and dinner service.
Private celebrations, where the room is small enough to reach completely.

From $2,500, quoted per event. Jacksonville's local market quotes below this. That is a real difference in what is being booked rather than room to negotiate, and for a smaller domestic event it is a fair question whether the international tier is what you need.
No. No stage, no microphone, no lighting change, no power and no changeover. That holds whether the event is in a riverfront property, a hotel function room, a private dining room or outdoors at the beaches.
Yes — Jacksonville bookings are taken year-round. Matteo performs worldwide, and one message settles whether a specific date works; where travel applies, it is quoted separately and transparently.
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.
