Magic means something different to everyone. For history-making magician Mat Franco, it's uncharted territory meant to be explored with respect and reverence. The Rhode Island -born and Las Vegas-based phenomenon has rooted his world-renowned Las Vegas show, MAT FRANCO - MAGIC REINVENTED NIGHTLY, in a spirit of exploration as no two evenings are the same. Obsessed with magic as a kid, he has performed since grade school. Attending University of Rhode Island, he studied marketing and business to support the magic in addition to gigs at libraries, offices, restaurants, and colleges across the country. He spent four years in the college circuit before deciding to audition for America's Got Talent in order "to get video content in order to land more gigs." However, he made history as "the first magician to emerge in the winner's circle of America's Got Talent" in 2014. A year later, he produced and starred in the popular NBC special, Mat Franco's Got Magic. Meanwhile, Las Vegas came calling. MAT FRANCO -- MAGIC REINVENTED NIGHTLY was born at The LINQ Hotel + Experience inside of the Mat Franco Theater in 2015. Performing to 600 people for 90 minutes per gig, the show morphs and transforms in real-time as a living and breathing experience. You'll experience world-famous signature tricks, yet he leaves enough room for improvisation and surprises, making each night singular and special. Logging thousands of shows, he stretches the boundaries of what magic can be and leaves guests in a state of wonder.
It's no surprise Las Vegas Review-Journal honored MAT FRANCO - MAGIC REINVENTED NIGHTLY with "Gold Winner for Best Magic Show," "Gold Winner for Best Production Show," and "Best Showroom / Live Venue." Not to mention, it stands out as a 4x-time winner of "Best Headliner" from SNHCA (Southern Nevada Hotel & Concierge Association). KNPR's Desert Companion Magazine christened it "Best Strip Show." Clark County declared July 10, 2017 to be "Mat Franco Day" on the Las Vegas Strip and across the County, while he received the coveted "Key To The Strip." Outside of Las Vegas, millions have watched in awe as Mat reinvented magic on TODAY, Steve Harvey, Live with Kelly and Ryan, on the final season of ELLEN, and at the NFL Draft in addition to returning to America's Got Talent. Scan YouTube, and you'll find him wowing the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Heidi Klum, Rob Gronkowski, Nicole Scherzinger, Howie Mandel, and more in clips viewed millions of times.
Simultaneously, he gives back at any chance possible. He remains passionate about animals and has supported Nevada's The Animal Foundation by hosting crucial supply drives and raising funds on an annual basis. He notably donated $20,000 in winnings from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to the NSPCA. Indicative of his commitment to philanthropy, he immediately took to Facebook at the start of the Global Pandemic to continue performing for fans as "one of the first entertainers to livestream shows." He also honored first responders and essential workers with a dedicated show upon the reopening of Las Vegas. Ultimately, Mat never stops exploring, and it's why his magic will last forever.
Mat brings high energy, personal story, humor, and the MOST brilliant, creative magic to an audience that is mesmerized by his authentic personality and performance. So fun, so beautiful at times, and so unbelievable! He engages the audience the whole time, selecting members to participate on stage with him.He is a joy to watch and is a must ticket to get.
Mat Franco puts on a super magic show. His tricks are mind-boggling and he is a great entertainer---funny and engaging. The theater is set up so you are not far from the stage no matter where you sit---and the large screens help zoom in on what's happening with his hands up close. Go and enjoy a 'magical' evening!
He won AGT with his personality and it's also true at The Linq. Got a long way to catch up with Criss Angel and David Copperfield kid but, you're good!
We loved his show--really glad we went. Would definitely recommend anyone thinking about going to GO!
Very entertaining performance. Mat is lively, funny and provides the audience with amazing magic that leaves everyone wondering how he does it! Very entertaining and gets audience participation.
My wife and I enjoyed Mat Franco so much!!!!! He is an amazing magician and showman, well worth the money we spent!!
Mat is an awesome magician. Great show . My wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Well worth the money.
Personable performer. Fantastic up close slight of hand.
Amazing show! Very personal. May had the audience participate and he too was in the audience. Smaller venue so all were great seats! He has an amazing talent and was the best part of our trip!
My kids and I are obsessed with 'Americas Got Talent' and we were so excited when Mat Franco won. So, when my husband and I planned on going to Las Vegas for a romantic weekend, this first thing I thought of was seeing Mat Franco in person! The show was incredible, we are still talking about it and wondering how on earth he makes his tricks seems like true 'magic'. He is charming, personable and seems to truly enjoy what he is doing - performing for thousands of people! I would highly recommend this show for anyone and everyone - kids would love it and of course we adults loved it as well. It was great to see someone who has worked so hard to get where he is 'living the dream' and enjoying every minute.
If you liked Mat Franco on AGT then you are going to love this and feel right at home with his live show. If you don't know Mat Franco then you are in for even more of a treat. I took 4 friends who knew nothing about him and every one of them loved the show and told me it was a great choice.
Mat was amazing. The intimate theater, high energy and of course Mat Franco makes this show a must see. He constantly interacts with the audience and makes you laugh and have a great time.
very good show and mat has great personality and wonderful magic
Fun night! He is always fun to watch and to listen to. From other reviews I have seen that people were upset that many of his tricks were see before on America's Got Talent and his TV special. This is true...BUT, that is true for any magician and singer and actor, etc. Who would not expect a singer to not sing a song that made them famous? Then a magician should do the acts that made them famous. Bottom line, and you can quote me: Mat is always engaging and just fun to watch. Many magicians try to make it mystical or perform silently the whole time with wierd expressions on their faces. Mat takes magic away from being something a little wierd at times to a story art, something you just watch to something you are a part of. Be a part of the magic, sit back and enjoy. And do what Mat says: don't try to figure it out how he did it, enjoy it!
Mat Franco put on an exceptional show last Thursday at the Linq Theater. The hotel and theater are not the "A" venues in Las Vegas and are difficult to park, navigate and chairs that leave quite a bit to be desired...but all that aside, Mr. Franco puts on an excellent show. His slight of hand and magic tricks are only outdone by his showmanship, pace and overall performance. A+ for all ages!
Show was amazing, cant wait to go again. Just amazing what he can do
Excellent new show. A little too much of the same kind of card tricks...but overall excellent!
We really enjoyed the Mat Franco show. He was very entertaining, and I like it when the person interacts with the audience. His performance style draws the audience into the act and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Very entertaining and fun. Works with the audience very well along some great slight of tricks.
We made a trip to Las Vegas specifically to see Mat Franco and we were not disappointed. We first saw Mat on AGT and were impressed, but seeing him "live" was so much fun and so full of magic! The Linq Theatre is the perfect size - not a bad seat in the house. If you love magic and want to be thrilled to say "how did he do that?" you should definitely see this show.
