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.
Had no idea what to expect, but this was incredibly interactive with the audience. Right from the beginning Mat Franco was just so full of energy. His slight of hand was amazing. His misdirection was even better. This is a show I would really want to see again. Really really good!
Amazing show! One of the best (if the THE best) show I've seen in Vegas over the years!
Seeing Mat Franco in person is even more amazing than his TV performances. A great blend of magic, humor and personality.
One of the best up-and-coming magicians everyone should see.
Entertaining and intimate. Great illusionist. Likeable entertainer and professional.
If you like glitz and glam then Mat isn't your show. Mat is pure magic at its best! His tricks and slight of hand are the most amazing, jaw dropping that I've ever seen. He's also funny! So you don't need the smoke, fire, lavish production type of magic show with Mat Franco. If you are a magic purist - then there is NO better than Mat Franco. Certainly the new best that Vegas has to offer.
Similar to Terry Fator, this guy is in Vegas to stay as long as he wants. Great magic tricks! His show isn't a big spectacle like some other shows, but mainly up close and slight of hand magic. Close up camera's help you experience the magic up close as well as audience participation make the show work. Using audience members is very tricky as you'll never know how they'll respond, but the night I saw the show, the truly added to the show. Mat's reactions to some of the crazy things they did was priceless. He doesn't get political (like Penn and Teller), there's no message he's trying to push, except that he loves magic. He's a natural on stage and you can tell he get a kick out of pulling off every trick and making the audience respond with amazement or laughter.
mat franco was good at the link on his show but it still need to be polished a littele bit more. some of the tricks were very easy to tell
It was impossible to see most of the acts because it s small magic trick with cards and sleight of hand on a table. ridiculous. i didnt like it .
We enjoyed Mat Franco on America's Got Talent, and even more in his own hour-long show. His illusions were, as always, amazing, mixed with his warm personality and just enough humor. He really draws his audience in. Very entertaining on all levels.
If you are a fan of America's Got Talent, then you already know how good he is. If you've never seen him on T.V. but enjoy magic, this show is an absolute must-see. Not only is his magic spectacular and unbelievable, but he is very funny and has audience interaction in a small, intimate theater. There were times that I just sat there with my mouth open in amazement, he is that good. I will definitely see him again and very highly recommend Mat Franco, Magic Reinvented Nightly.
The show was fantastic!! Having 2nd row seats was like a private show. Unbelievable magic that will leave you with your mouth open!! You will leave the show saying to yourself..."How did he do that?" After seeing the show, it will remind you on why he won $1,000,000
Mat Franco is super talented...he is amazing! When he performs his magic, he is awesome and leaves you with, "How Does He Do That"? A show that children old enough to enjoy would be suggested, a good family event. Loved the audience participation! Would see again, he is that good!
Mat Franco puts on an amazing show. His delivery is impeccable. His last act where he lays down cards with numbers and suits that relate to the whole show is a sight to be seen.
Mat's opening videography is an inspiring story about the rewards of hard work and dedication. His personality is charming (cute in a dorky way, according to my wife), allowing for some comedy mixed into the act. Beyond that, the illusions he presents are masterful, leaving the audience possibly believing that magic is real.
Mat is a phenomenal performer- high energy, great audience interaction, terrific sense of humor and above all, outstanding card tricks. We were a little apprehensive initially having seen David Copperfield the day before, but Mat matched him in terms of excitement and craft. Given that this is only his first year performing in Vegas, I can only imagine how good he would become in the years to come. We also loved his personal story, about how his grandmother always encouraged him to do magic, something that gave him enormous confidence in everything he did. America's Got Talent provided the platform and I was glad we watched him- his card tricks are unique, spellbinding and truly exceptional. An absolute treat to watch.
Great show. Wish it could be much longer. Did not want it to end.
I saw Mat the The Linq on Thursday August 13th. He put on an amazing show. As a magician and someone who knows Mat personally I may be a bit biased, but his show is high-energy and definitely recommended for magicians and enthusiasts alike.
Mat has a great personality. He is amazing! There aren't many who can put on a one man show for over an hour and keep you riveted to your seat - Mat does!
This was one of the best Magic shows I have ever seen. After following him from Americas Got Talent I knew I had to see him live. He is an incredible magician and has a great personality for entertainment. I can't wait till I get the chance to go see him again.
