Orlando's premium event market is client evenings, corporate galas, incentive trips and destination weddings — not the exhibition halls the city is better known for. Matteo Cammisa performs close-up magic and mentalism at those evenings, with no stage, no sound and no runtime required.
Orlando runs a very high volume of corporate hospitality, and the consequence for anyone hosting an evening here is that guests have seen the standard programme many times: a band, a DJ, a photo activation, a themed buffet. The bar for genuinely surprising them is higher than in a city that hosts fewer events.
That is the case for a format that works at conversational distance rather than from a stage. A delegate who has watched forty stage acts has not had one performed in their own hands.
Practically, Orlando events are frequently in hotel ballrooms and resort function space where the AV schedule is the critical path and the room turns several times a day. Entertainment that requires nothing — no stage build, no soundcheck, no changeover — is not just convenient here, it is often the only kind that can be scheduled at all.
The other strong Orlando format is the destination wedding, which is a separate market with its own page.
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
Conference organisers, for welcome receptions and the gaps between sessions where the energy curve drops across the day.
Companies running incentive trips and client events at the resorts, where the guest list is smaller and the expectation is higher.
Private hosts and couples, covered in more detail on the Orlando wedding page.

A question worth answering with checkable facts rather than a claim. Matteo Cammisa is a member of The Magic Circle in London, of FISM and of the Society of American Magicians, and has performed at more than 500 events in over 30 countries. Orlando has a deep local performer market; the difference on offer here is an international rather than a regional practice.
From $2,500, quoted per event. Orlando's local market quotes below that, and the difference reflects what is being booked rather than room to negotiate. For conference and incentive work the figure moves with the length of the evening and the number of sessions rather than with headcount.
It is designed for it. Close-up magic needs no stage, no microphone, no lighting change and no changeover, which matters most in exactly these rooms — where the AV schedule is the critical path and the space turns several times a day. It can be added to a programme late without touching the running order.
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.
Yes — Matteo Cammisa performs worldwide, year-round, and has done so at more than 500 events across over 30 countries.

Where travel applies, it is quoted separately and transparently.
