The French Riviera luxury scene — and where Matteo performs
Cannes runs a year-round luxury calendar few cities can match — the palace hotels of the Croisette, the yachts of the Vieux Port, and a season of galas, brand events and private celebrations that peaks around the festival and the summer months. It is a sophisticated, international audience that expects the best of everything.
Matteo has worked that calendar. In October 2023 he performed close-up magic in the ballroom of the Carlton Cannes, the Belle Époque palace on La Croisette that has been part of the Film Festival's story for a century. It is the kind of room where entertainment either matches the address or embarrasses it.
His close-up magic needs no stage, no sound check and no darkness. It works among guests, standing, at conversational distance — which is why it suits the format a Cannes evening actually takes: a reception, a terrace, a deck, people moving between conversations rather than sitting facing a stage.

Why Matteo Cammisa for a Cannes event
Cannes gathers a truly international crowd — French, Italian, British, American, Middle Eastern and beyond. Magic and mentalism entertain all of them at once, because the impossible needs no translation.
A Croisette palace hotel has already booked him. The Carlton engagement means the venue's standard, its events team and the pace of that kind of evening are known quantities rather than something to be explained on the night.
Nothing to approve, nothing to install. No stage, power, sound or lighting — which matters at heritage properties and on boats, where the technical answer is usually no.

Frequently asked — Cannes
Who is the best magician in Cannes?+
Ask for a venue and a date rather than a superlative — anyone can call themselves the best. Matteo Cammisa performed close-up magic in the ballroom of the Carlton Cannes on La Croisette in October 2023, and works across the Côte d'Azur for galas, yacht parties and villa weddings. He is a Member of The Magic Circle, has performed at 500+ events in 30+ countries, and works in English, Italian and Hungarian.
Do you perform in Cannes?+
Yes. Matteo Cammisa travels to Cannes and across the Côte d'Azur for luxury events — five-star hotel galas, Croisette receptions, yacht parties and villa weddings. Travel and accommodation are arranged as part of the booking; share your date and venue for availability within 24 hours.
Can you perform at a hotel gala or event on the Croisette?+
Yes — and he has. In October 2023 Matteo performed in the ballroom of the Carlton Cannes, on La Croisette itself. Palace hotels suit close-up magic because it adds nothing to the room: no stage, no sound, no lighting rig, nothing for the events team to sign off. He works the reception guest to guest, and can add a staged mentalism set as the centrepiece where the room allows.
What events do you perform at in Cannes?+
Five-star hotel galas, Croisette receptions, superyacht parties, brand activations, corporate dinners and villa weddings across Cannes, Antibes, Cap d'Antibes and the wider Côte d'Azur — from strolling close-up magic to a headline mentalism performance.
What languages does Matteo perform in?+
English, Italian and Hungarian, with a performance built to include every nationality present. Because the strongest effects in magic and mentalism operate below the level of language, Cannes's international guest lists are never a barrier.
How far in advance should I book for Cannes?+
Cannes is busy year-round and premium dates — especially during the festival and summer season — book early. For a wedding or fixed event date, enquire as far ahead as possible to secure availability.
