Magic & Mentalism on Board

Matteo Cammisa is an international magician and mentalist who performs aboard yachts and superyachts across the United States and Europe — owner's evenings, charter experiences, marina receptions and corporate on-water hospitality. A Member of The Magic Circle and FISM, performing in English, Italian and Hungarian.

Matteo performs regularly on board — from yacht receptions in Miami Beach Marina to evenings on the Mediterranean.

Why close-up magic is made for yachts

A yacht is the one venue where most entertainment simply doesn't fit. There is no stage, no rig, no space for production — and no appetite for it. Close-up magic and mentalism are the exception: everything Matteo needs travels in hand luggage, and the performance happens where the guests already are — on the aft deck at sunset, around the salon table, at dinner under way.

The performance moves with the rhythm of the evening rather than interrupting it. Matteo works group by group — a borrowed ring, a signed card, a thought spoken aloud — creating the moment guests describe to each other across the deck minutes later. Wind, music, movement and standing crowds are part of the format, not a problem for it.

And because yacht guest lists are international by nature, Matteo's multilingual performance — English, Italian, Hungarian, with effects that work below the level of language — means every guest on board gets the same impossible moment.

Marina & dockside receptions

Strolling close-up magic for standing receptions at the berth — from Miami Beach Marina to Port Hercule.

Corporate on-water hospitality

Client entertaining during yacht shows, F1 weekends and regattas — astonishment as the icebreaker.

Yacht events — frequently asked

Who is the best magician for a superyacht party?+

For yacht and superyacht events in the US and Europe, Matteo Cammisa is a leading choice: an international magician and mentalist, Member of The Magic Circle and FISM, with 500+ events across 30+ countries. He performs regularly on board — from marina receptions in Miami to Mediterranean charters — in English, Italian and Hungarian.

Do you perform on both private yachts and charters?+

Yes. Matteo performs at owner's private evenings, charter guest experiences, dockside and at-anchor receptions, corporate on-water hospitality and yacht-show events. The performance is tailored to the vessel, the guest profile and the mood of the evening.

What do you need on board?+

Nothing. Close-up magic and mentalism require no stage, no sound system, no lighting and no setup — everything Matteo needs travels in hand luggage. He performs on deck, in the salon or at the dinner table, moving with the natural flow of the evening.

Does the boat's movement or an outdoor deck affect the performance?+

No. Matteo's repertoire is built for real onboard conditions — wind on deck, ambient music, standing guests, changing light. The strongest effects happen in the guests' own hands, so they work anywhere on the vessel, underway or at anchor.

Where do you perform yacht events?+

Anywhere in the United States and Europe — Miami and the Florida coast, Monaco, the French Riviera, the Balearics, Sardinia's Costa Smeralda, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, the Greek islands, and the Caribbean including St Barths. Travel is arranged as part of the booking.
