A Gala Dinner at Suvretta House — St. Moritz

Matteo Cammisa performed close-up magic at an ASMALLWORLD gala dinner in Suvretta House, the grand hotel above St. Moritz that has been receiving the same families in the Engadin since 1912.

A room like that is a specific test. The guests are members of a private club, most of them know each other, and the hotel itself is the kind of address where anything that arrives with equipment is already in the wrong register. Matteo worked the reception and then the tables — no stage, no sound, nothing installed, moving between small groups while the dinner ran on its own schedule.

The photographs on this page are from that evening: card magic for seated guests, a moment under one of the hotel's antique portraits, and a guest's reaction at the bar. What they show is the format working the way it is supposed to at that level — nobody is watching a show, everyone is inside one.
