Mat Franco is not just an incredible magician—he is a fabulous entertainer! This was hands down the best magic show we have ever been to, and easily one of the highlights of our Las Vegas trip. From the moment the show started, Mat had the entire audience completely engaged. His magic is mind-blowing, but what really sets this show apart is his personality, humor, storytelling, and ability to connect with the audience. There is never a dull moment. You’re laughing one minute and wondering, “How did he possibly do that?” the next! What made the experience extra special for our family was when my son was pulled on stage to participate in one of the tricks. He absolutely loved his little celebrity moment and had the BEST time being part of the live show! Mat was wonderful with him and made the experience so much fun. It created a Vegas memory our family will be talking about for years. The show feels polished and impressive without losing that personal, intimate quality that makes audience participation so much fun. It’s entertaining for both adults and kids, making it a fantastic choice for families looking for a Las Vegas show everyone can enjoy together. If you’re trying to decide which show to see in Vegas, Mat Franco is a must-see. Amazing magic, lots of laughs, fantastic audience interaction, and an incredibly talented performer. We would absolutely see him again. 10/10!
Went to see Matt Franco last night in Las Vegas. It was a very entertaining show. I went in expecting something different, but Matt’s style focuses more on card magic and audience interaction than some of the other magic shows I’ve seen in Vegas. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth seeing.
Wow this was an awesome show, and as many others have said, Mat genuinely has a good sense of humor. Not forced and not like he's intentionally trying hard to be. This is a more direct in your face magic show... not a large stunt-focused show. Personally I think it's great this way. I kinda think some of the stage acrobatic magic shows are more fake. Would recommend Mat Franco show to anyone, 10/10
Just saw Mat Franco and his show was Amazing! ✨ His tricks are absolutely insane up- close, but his crowd work and humor make the show truly special. He is so charismatic and genuinely funny. The Mat Franco Theater at The LINQ is the perfect venue for this type of show. It is incredibly intimate, meaning there isn't a bad seat in the house and you can see every single detail of the close-up magic. Comfortable seating and a great atmosphere overall. If you only see one show in Vegas, make it this one! ✨
Mind-blowing show that had all of us and everyone sitting around us yelling “NO WAY” over and over for the entirety of the 90 minute show. And we didn’t want it to end! Not only is Mat an expert illusionist, but he is hilarious and kept the audience laughing and smiling nonstop. There were a few sentimental moments with some behind the scenes videos showing his journey from practicing magic as a kid, to winning his season of AGT, to headlining at the Linq for the last 10 years. Super family friendly and such a feel-good show. Someone from my family was chosen to join Mat on stage for one of the tricks so I am confident that the audience volunteers are not “plants” as some people might try to claim. My family and I are still talking about the show and theorizing about how Mat did each jaw-dropping trick. 5 STARS and I would totally love to see this show again. Mat is a fantastic talent!!!
