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 Franco is my favorite AGT star and his live performance does not disappoint. The show is both mind-boggling and touching, and at moments beautiful to watch. The way Mat incorporates humor and story into his magic is second-to-none. I will see this show every time I’m in Vegas.
Mat is a consummate professional. I loved that he always had a genuine smile on his face. You could tell that he truly loved what he was doing. He did rib the audience members who went on stage but he did it kindly. His magic was amazing. Even in slow motion, I couldn't see what the trick was. I would highly recommend Mat's show to anyone who loves magic.
This show was amazing! My hubby and daughter were at a concert so I took my 15 year old son. We were both so entertained! Great show and well worth the money for Vegas entertainment! Thanks for a great night Mat and crew!!
Just when you think you might know how he did a trick, he amazes you with a new slight of hand or completely unexpected result. His story telling is superb and the show was fun and appropriate for my sons (17 and 10). He brings up random people from the audience and keeps the show lively.
Mat was awesome! He interacted with the entire audience and the show was phenomenal! If you are visiting Las Vegas, his show is a must see!
Having seen many shows on the Las Vegas strip and can overwhelmingly say Mat Franco is one of the best ! Mat is sincere with his interactions with the audience and will go away saying how in the world did he do that ?!
Good theater, nice seats, entertaining in several ways.
The show was fantastic! Helps crowd work was amazing! Definitely worth going!!
Single-handedly, the best magician we’ve ever seen. We’ve seen Penn and Teller, which was also great, but Mat truly is passionate about what he does and it comes across on stage. The tricks blew out minds.
Mat's show was very entertaining throughout the entire 90 minutes. Many "how did he do that" moments.
Watching Matt was amazing . My wife and I could not take our eyes off the stage . He also had a smile on his face showing us he really enjoyed what he was doing the whole time. The stories about his family support were truly wonderful.. Tears came to my eyes when he talked about his love for his grandmother and her support.I was lucky to get on stage for one of his tricks and it was amazing to watch up close. We talked about his show with everyone when we got home.Thanks Matt.
I was just going because friends wanted to see the show. I was kind of ho hum about it. The show BLEW ME AWAY. Engaging. Clean. Quick paced. Tricks that left me shaking my head. Must see.
Love love love Mat Franco. His show was super awesome and captivating. You will never get bored within 1 hour and 20 mins. My young kids even love it.
The show is awesome. Mat is very interactive with the crowd. Lots of fun. We highly recommend the Mat Franco show
We had a great time. Comedy and magic show in one. My 8 year old wanted to go back the next night.
We saw 3 shows in 2 days and this was the only one that we keep talking about. Second time for us, and we will see it again
GREAT show and a GREAT person. Mat is not only a very talented magician - he is also very humble. We enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend seeing this!
I've wanted to see him since AGT. I typically don't gravitate to magician shows, but this was one I wanted to see. Every time we go to Vegas, I'm the only one in the group that wants to go, until this last visit. I would see him over and over. I sat the whole time with my mouth open which made the girls I was with laugh. Just amazing. I cannot wrap my brain around how he does it.
What can I say!!!! From beginning to end it was FANTASTIC!!! Mat is not only a fabulous magician but he has such an engaging personality!! What a great way to end my last night in Vegas with my grandchildren and family!!!!
Show was great. Great for adults. Great for kids. The theatre/venue is beautiful. Great job Mat
