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 was amazing! If you liked him on America's Got Talent, you'll love the LIVE show. He is so entertaining. He gets a lot of audience involvement and keeps show going very well. Magic was mind boggling!!
Exciting and very entertaining show! Really wishing could have got Mat'so autograph to take back to our daughter in St. Louis!
Good performance. Great presenter. But it would be nice to see something different than what he has done in AGT.
I watched both Mat Franco and Chris Angel. However the Mat Franco show was amazing! I was more impressed with Franco then I was of Chris Angel. Lots of laughter and fun! By far one of the best illusionists out there! Great job! Also enjoyed the free upgrade to better seats and closer view!
The Mat Franco show was everything that we had expected. A good amount of Humor and Magic mixed together to create a fun evening for a good price. Mat is an up and coming performer who I am sure we will see much more of in the coming years as he progresses through the levels to become a larger production show in the future.
Amazing Show! Purchased the meet and greet tickets. Mat is a very down to earth guy who put on an awesome show.
I've been a fan of Mat's since he first took the stage at America's Got Talent. I was fortunate enough to have seen him at the America's Got Talent at Planet Hollywood last year and was so impressed by not only his magic, but his stage presence. His show at The Linq is even better. Mat is the true epitome of the American dream. His show is worth every penny. His story is pure and his talent is genuine. I could watch this show every single night.
I saw Mat Franco at the Linq Theater in Vegas & he put on a spectacular show!!! Mat was extremely personable and talented and kept you entertained the entire show! There was a lot of audience participation and a lot of laughs. It was an outstanding show I'd highly recommend for everyone to see!!!
The show was good, Mat's slight of hand was unbelievable. His wit, eh.. The seats were terrible, high bar stools with no place to put your drink, unless you get a seat with a table. The waitresses were overwhelmed and never picked up the empty glasses. The 'ushers' were also overwhelmed given there appeared to only be 2 of them ! If you are short in stature, you won't be able to see over the person in front of you from some rows.
Mat was awesome, he's the best illusionist I've ever seen. And that's saying something because I've seen Copperfield and Burton among others!
Amazing show! Mat Franco is a real entertainer and knows how to work the audience. Did not disappoint at all!!
We sat in the front row and paid $150 per ticket. A complete waste at that price. There were simply too many visual errors for me to be impressed. It's a good thing we didn't see his TV special before the show, I would have been even more disappointed. Call it a bad night? Call me too critical? Don't know. But if you're going to spend that kind of money on a magic show, go see Penn and Teller, Copperfield or Angel. Or, pay much less, sit in the back and don't feel you've wasted your money. I wish Mat well and as he works on the finesse of movements, it'll be a better show.
We really enjoyed the show. Mat Franco was incredible, very entertaining and well worth the money. We would highly recommend seeing his show in Las Vegas!
8 of us went to the show and were blown away. He did things that still make us wonder how he did it. I can't wait to see the show again!
If you have NOT seen Mat Franco on America Got Talent then this show is totally amazing, BUT if you have seen him on the show, all you are going to see is a repeat performance! I was expecting to see new things, so I was not too impressed because I knew what to expect. also disappointing was finding out that the guy in front of me paid only $99.00 for his ticket, while I paid $153.00. I did not know that show tickets work like airline tickets! Prices should NOT change , prices should be charged for the location of the seat! Ticketmaster I will NEVER USE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Had lots of fun seeing his progression from AGT to his new Vegas stage.
If you thought Mat Franco was great on America's Got Talent, he's even better live! If there are wizards, Mat is one of them.
Amazing and did not disappoint. I liked how he included some clips of his past and keeps the audience interested and amused. I would recommend anyone to see his show and will probably see him again.
This was a great show. Even after seeing Mat on TV, everything seemed very new and exciting. Mat is not only a great magician, but an excellent entertainer. The show was interesting, funny and a lot of fun. His interaction with the audience was hilarious! Would definitely recommend this show.
My wife and I just saw Mat Franco in Las Vegas last Thursday. He is very entertaining and puts on a wonderful and fantastic show. Once you see him you will have no questions why he won America's Got Talent. Highly recommended. By the way, we saw him at the Linq theater and was surprised at how intimate the theater setting was. We bought high priced seats to be close to the stage, but, just about any of the mid to close seats provide great views. They have big screens showing the close up action so everyone in the theater can see what is going on. No, I don't work for the Linq, Ticketmaster or Mat Franco. This is a legitimate posting.
