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.
Great show! Pure magic in every way. No frills or loud music just wonderful magic and a great story of a determined young man (and his grandmother) to do what he was meant to do.... entertain us in unimaginable ways! The theater is perfect.... intimate and close to the "action". Mat is SO talented and the show was really, really wonderful! His tricks are just amazing!
We were in Vegas for the Rock "n" Roll marathon on Nov 16th. We wanted to book some shows while there. Mat Franco was at the top of the list of shows to see. We were not disappointed! We sat in row CC and saw Mat up close and personal! His show was very entertaining and audience engaging. We thought to ourselves over and over, "how did he do that"!! We would highly recommend seeing Mat Franco at the Linq Hotel!
Loved his show, funny with great magic acts! Our only regrets were not getting seats in the rows close to the stage, he picks people to help him so if you wanna better experience id recommend getting as close as possible! Great show!
He really did a great job when you ask yourself - how did he do that, over and over... And even if you knew how the trick is performed, he does an excellent job at delivering entertainment by his personality. VIP was not really worth it. Got to meet him, say hi and get an autograph. Not worth the extra cash. I was hoping during the VIP he would of showed us a couple more tricks and and shared some more information with him. As he's asking our favorite part of the show, he could be doing a similar trick.
We watched him on AGT and loved his performances. We got tickets in the 2nd section from the stage and were able to see everything.
No matter what seat you buy, you'll be able to experience this amazing show.. The Magic show along with the Comedy, is appropriate for all ages.. Must see if your visiting Vegas. We bought the VIP Package, even though it was a short meet and greet, He was very down to earth. The only flaw with our experience was, we bought souvenirs after we met him. We should have purchased them prior to meet him, so he could have signed them.... Great show....
First, the theater was low class. The chairs were uncomfortable--nothing like what the major hotels have. Second, Mat was personable and entertaining, but his show consisted primarily of card tricks and sleight of hand. I did not want to see a highly produced glitzy show, but expected more use of props and creativity. He also used a fair amount of time showing videos and photos of his childhood, to illustrate his dream to become a magician. I think if Mat does not up the wow factor, he isn't going to make it in Vegas.
Mat Franco is one of the very best shows in Las Vegas. Family friendly and a very enjoyable show. Mat utilizes the audience in many parts of his act making the experience even more memorable.
Mat Franco is amazing!! I have no idea how he does what he does but he is incredible! His show is a must see!
He asked for volunteers and he picked ME!! I got to do two of his tricks with him on stage. He's absolutely AMAZING. I watched him carefully and I have no flippin' idea how he does what he does but that's the fun of it. He's very personable and he showed a little clip of where his passion for magic came from. I thought that was nice that he let his audience see where it all started and how his family supported him. I was bummed that they wouldn't let my hubby take a picture of me while I was on-stage with Mat but rules are rules I guess.
First of all, I really like seeing shows in small venues. It's very intimate…makes you feel like you are part of the show. Mat was very personable, sharing his life story with us and weaving it into his show. I won't even pretend that I tried to figure out how he does what he does….I just sat back and enjoyed it! He moves around the stage and goes out into the audience as their participation is necessary for many of his tricks/illusions. This show is family-friendly and I would recommend it to everyone.
Was a big fan of Mat's before seeing him live in Vegas. He didn't disappoint...he has really gotten even better. His slight of hand is second to none and he did some amazing tricks that baffled us all. Had the pleasure of meeting him after the show...and he is a very nice person and someone who deserves the success he has achieved. We will return again to see him next time in Vegas.
Mat Franco is an unbelievably amazing talent and his show has soooo many great parts to it. He is so charismatic and likeable and he just emits such a passion for what he does. We spent the week in Vegas and saw six shows and his was definitely the best!!! A must see if you are in Vegas. I would see him again the next time that we return to Las Vegas.
Fabulous !! Extremely entertaining! A must see. Mat is very personable, engages the entire audience in his show.. Whether you are in the front row, middle or rear of the house.. You will not be disappointed Lot's of FUN! Don't miss it!!
totally loved Mat. great personality and talented magician. glad he won AGT. would definitely see his show again.
I took my husband to see Mat on Sat. afternoon, for an early birthday present. There was a very good crowd. Very nice, small venue. Mat was truly amazing, funny, engaging and the magic and slight of hand were simply awesome, he does things right in front of your eyes that you won't believe. He is a very talented young man and we would see him again. So glad we had the opportunity to experience his show.
This show was so much fun. Mat Franco did some amazing things and his personality is so darn cute, I would definitely go see this show again and actually take my kids to Vegas to see it. I would recommend it to anyone - any age.
We have seen many magic shows in Las Vegas. This was by far the best and most entertaining show we have seen. The theater is small enough to really enjoy the show. He involves the audience and his smile is fantastic. The time passed quickly and let you wanting more! Highly recommended.
Mat put on a great show very entertaining and engaging with the crowd. He has a lot of energy and you can tell he truly loves performing Magic.
We were super big Mat franco fans coming into the show, because we watched AGT and saw him win! He was just as awesome in person- his tricks are one of a kind! i even got picked to help him on stage- super fun! Great for the whole family!
