Lugano Magician & Mentalist

Yes — wedding entertainment is the heart of what Matteo does in Ticino. Close-up magic during the aperitivo and mentalism between courses carry a lakeside villa reception without a stage or a sound system, and the cocktail hour — the stretch couples rarely plan — is exactly where the format earns its place.

Italian is Matteo's mother tongue. A Lugano event can run in Italian, in English, or switch per table — which is how Ticino's international guest lists actually behave. Guests searching for a mago or mentalista per eventi get the same performance, in their own language.

Matteo moves between small groups — at the aperitivo, around dinner tables, on a terrace — performing inches from the guests: cards, minds read, choices predicted. No equipment, no slot in the programme, no demands on the venue. A dinner of twelve in a private dining room is not a compromise; it is the ideal case.

Yes — including a black-tie gala at Suvretta House in St. Moritz. Lugano sits even closer to Matteo's circuit: Villa d'Este on Lake Como, where he has performed for a wedding, is forty minutes away, and his Milan base is an hour from the lake.

European bookings start from €2,500 for a close-up or mentalism performance, travel included. Every event is quoted individually against a specific date.

All of Ticino — Lugano, Ascona, Locarno, Bellinzona and the villages around both lakes — plus the Como and Milan side of the border, which is part of the same evening's drive. Nothing needs to be provided by the venue, so a Morcote terrace books exactly like a Lugano salon.
