Close-up, guest to guest
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.
From $2,500
London invented the after-dinner entertainment tradition and has the world's oldest magic institution to show for it. Matteo Cammisa — a Magic Circle member — performs at London client evenings, City dinners and company events. Bookings from €2,500.
The London corporate evening
London's corporate entertaining still runs on the dinner: client evenings in Mayfair private rooms, City institutions with guest speakers and port, company celebrations from Shoreditch rooftops to Knightsbridge hotels. The form is older here than anywhere, and so are the rules — several of the best rooms in town still restrict staging and amplification outright.
Close-up magic never triggers those rules, because it uses neither. It works the reception as the room fills, then table to table between courses — nothing announced, nothing interrupted, nothing for the venue to approve.
The Magic Circle matters more in this city than anywhere else, because London is where it sits. Membership is not a marketing line here; it is checkable, and a London corporate audience is precisely the audience that checks.
Matteo has performed in exactly these rooms — close-up magic among the tables of a private members' club in Mayfair — and performs across London for corporate evenings, galas and private celebrations.
What London corporate books
Mentalism set piece
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 $2,500
Stage show
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
Why it survives a London planning committee
It needs nothing from rooms that are proud of having nothing: no stage, no sound, no lighting, no rider, no load-in through a Mayfair service corridor.
It is discreet enough for client-facing and members' rooms — nobody exposed, nobody the joke, the host stays the host.
Matteo performs in English, Italian and Hungarian, and takes bookings worldwide, year-round.
Matteo Cammisa is a member of The Magic Circle in London, of FISM — the international federation of magic societies — and of the Society of American Magicians. Twenty years of performing, more than 500 events, over 30 countries.

Frequently asked
What entertainment works for a corporate event in London?
Entertainment that fits rooms with rules. Many of London's best corporate venues — members' clubs, livery halls, historic private rooms — restrict staging and amplification, which is why close-up magic and mentalism dominate the premium end here: they use neither, take no runtime, and arrive with nothing to approve.
Is Matteo a member of The Magic Circle?
Yes — along with FISM and the Society of American Magicians. In London that is a checkable claim rather than a marketing line: The Magic Circle's member directory is public, and a City audience is exactly the audience that looks it up.
Does this work at a members' club or livery hall?
It is the natural format for those rooms and Matteo has performed in exactly that setting — close-up magic among the tables of a private members' club in Mayfair. Nothing is staged, nothing is amplified, and nothing arrives in cases.
How much does it cost to book Matteo Cammisa?
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.
How far in advance should I book?
For a specific date in high season, three to six months is comfortable. Shorter notice is often possible and worth asking about: dates open up, and Matteo holds a small amount of the calendar for late corporate bookings. The honest answer is that the date either exists or it does not, and one message settles it.
Is Matteo available for events worldwide?
Yes — Matteo Cammisa performs worldwide, year-round, and has done so at more than 500 events across over 30 countries. Wherever the event is, send the date, the city and roughly how many guests, and you will have availability and a firm figure within 24 hours. Where travel applies, it is quoted separately and transparently.
