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.
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.
Entertaining and just the right length. Mat seems to love what he does. Our seats were horrible but not his fault. I'm sure we would have enjoyed it more if we could have actually seen it.
Great show..very entertaining.....would reccommend
Mat Franco is simply amazing. He performs one of a kind magic. No other magician can hold a candle to him. Every trick he does ends with "How did he do that?" or "No way!" A must see show when you are in Vegas
We saw Mat Franco on Monday and Criss Angel on Wednesday. Both shows were good but Mat was AMAZING! A very simple set and simple show but we were blown away. We tried to get tickets to see him again on Thursday but the time did not work out with our dinner plans. I definitely recommend the show and I will definitely go back next time I am in Vegas!
This is one of the most enjoyable shows I have seen in a long time. Great family entertainment and the magic was amazing. Mat was high energy and even better in person that he was on TV. Loved the audience interaction and the joy Mat displayed throughout the show.
The show room is small enough that every seat is good. Mat engaged the audience with his tricks. He used humor throughout and had us all laughing. His tricks were not the usual things you see on TV. I felt that his most amazing trick was his "story" of the events of this night. Highly recommend that you see Mat Franco while in Las Vegas.
We were fans of Mat Franco when he was on America got talent, we were excited to see what he's able to do now he has his own show. He did not disappoint!!! It was a lot of interactions, humor and laughter. It was perfect for all age group, especially families.
Great Show! Very entertaining, would recommend for any age.
This wasn't ur typical magic show with "death defying" tricks. However it was so amazing! It was simple magic tricks but I sat there mystified. It was very entertaining and a fun show. It starts of slow but picks up. You're going to have a great time. Great for a family too. I'd recommend this show to anyone.
He started the show pretty much on time. He was funny, entertaining and his magic tricks were unbelievably good! You just sit there during the entire1-1/2 hours, mesmerized and asking yourself: "How did he do that??" Time went by way too fast, he's great at what he does.
