Wednesday, 4-01-2026: We walked over to The Linq from Harrah's where Mat Franco has his own theater. I thought the seating was strange. It was a bunch of chairs huddled together. As soon as we sat down we became immediately chilled. The A/C was blowing full force from the vents in the wall behind us! Brrrr! It became so intolerable that my hubby mentioned our discomfort to one of the ushers. She kindly sat us closer to the stage on a nice cushioned bench. I couldn't believe that they made such nice accommodations for us! Mat Franco is very engaging and very family oriented. We enjoyed his magic show, which is family friendly. You could hear the kids let out oooohs and aaaahs throughout the show. We highly recommend this very entertaining show. read more

The first magician to win America's Got Talent back in Season 9, Mat Franco went on to star in an NBC special called Mat Franco's Got Magic. He currently resides in the LINQ where he performs in the Mat Franco Theater. Our team did an offsite in Vegas and for our social outing, all went to see the Mat Franco show. He's the perfect blend of humor, charm, and magical performance to keep you mesmerized, entertained, and laughing your head off for all 90mins of his show. Along with several pre-planned tricks, he also performs improvisation involving the crowd; so no two shows are exactly alike. If you're looking for a great magical act in Vegas, or just a great show to watch, I HIGHLY recommend coming to see Mat Franco! read more

I've read many reviews about long tenured Las Vegas magicians just "mailing it in". Out of energy...and void of passion. That's NOT the case here! Mat was engaging, funny, and seemed to be truly happy to be where he is in his life... and career. His humor was spontaneous as he interacted with many audience members. The magic was a mix of stage "tricks" and close-up table magic. The theater is large enough to get an audience energy going...yet small enough to make for a personal experience. It's family friendly, and not likely to disappoint. read more

This show will blow your mind. We were in Vegas for a show at the Sphere but had four kids with us so needed some family friendly entertainment. Boy did we find it here. I wasn't sure what to expect but this was incredible. Mat Franco not only does amazing magic tricks, but he also woos you with stories of his childhood (and will make you cry when talking about his grandmother) and engages the audience in the most fantastic way possible. You will be wowed and leave wondering, "How did he do that?" read more

I think this is a good family show with a lot of audience interactions. For me, I prefer to watch and observe the real skill, which is slight of hand. I think with all the audience interactions it bored me and diminished mat francos talent. As you can guess, I enjoyed shin lims show way more! Lol I loved that mat franco was more energetic and engaging but again I just have a preference. However I really enjoyed the show and appreciated the venue is in a smaller space. This show is in the linq and fairly easy to find. I hated that they sold beers for 20$, unbelievable. This is why people are hesitant to watch shows or come to vegas. 35$ for parking already. The cost of half the ticket. If they comped the parking for watching shows, this would bring more revenue. Facts. Nearly everyone i spoke to had the same sentiments. Anyways, I digress. The show had its awesome and impressive moments. Mat franco is definitely very skilled and fun to watch. I think he's magnetic and funny. Mat franco is one of the better shows in vegas imo. I'd bring my kids to see him for sure! read more

Great seating , not a bad seat in there and layout allows you to see no matter where you sit . Matt's interaction with the crowd starts from the get go and continues till the end. The illusion and comedy are spot in and will leave you asking how the heck did he do that . This show is actually better than shim lin and better than the mentalist , there is no lag / down time and you are not waiting too long to get to the climax of each trick , the slight of hand is beyond impressive and the comedy added in with the facial expressions will leave ya wanting more This is a must see read more

The wife, mother in law, brother in law, and myself were in Vegas to celebrate our December birthdays and were looking for a show to go to. The wife decided on Mat Franco. Our seats were near the back of the theater. So when Mat asked for volunteers for the show, I thought there was no way that he would pick me, but pick me he did! He brought me and 3 others up to the stage and did some card tricks for us. I was sitting on Mat's right and leaned over the table, about a foot away from Mat's hands and he was still changing cards right in front of my face. It was unbelievable. Unfortunately we couldn't video or take pictures. I would have loved to have a video record of the experience, but all of the tricks Mat did were mind blowing. We all had an amazing time at the show. read more

September Friday night 7pm I had looked up "best magic show in Vegas" and Mac King and Mat Franco came up multiple times. On my list they went. I bought my ticket last minute the night before and snagged one of the four remaining seats in the back of the room. The view was still excellent but it definitely lowers your chances of participation to 0%. I wasn't sure what to expect- a full blown production, a story telling journey? I was glad it was the latter. Mat's comedic timing was right up my alley. Among my favorites are him poking fun at a group of late comers and referring back to that conversation throughout his performance, the reference to Magic Mike, and the kid at the end who was too young to be on stage. I appreciated the close up magic and the variety of mediums Mat employed to keep us on our toes. The most mind blowing of his tricks was when he did the coin trick under the cloth. I was totally misdirected. I might have shouted with the reveal. Overall, a truly fantastic show: All his jokes landed and I loved the magic and his story. Highly recommend! read more

Second time here and we came with 6 other friends and we were all amazed at Mat Franco's delivery and mystic magic, wow, and oh how did he do that! Very entertaining and a fun show with audience participation! Be prepared to get picked! read more

GETTING HERE: This spectacular show is located inside the LINQ Hotel inside the Mat Franco Theater in Las Vegas. I will brb as I need to google additional adjectives to describe this show. REVIEW: Come to the LINQ. Come to the LINQ. Come to the LINQ. Come to the LINQ. I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this show. I can echo almost all of the reviews here: Mat does have a great sense of humor and his wit is perfectly timed. Great interaction with the audience, too. His tricks are in fact mind-blowing! He had the audience's attention the entire show. It was so awesome! Without giving any spoilers, there is one trick he does that absolutely blew my mind (and it's still blown!) - I was seated on the end, next to the aisle, and when he completed this specific trick my mouth (literally) was open and flies were going inside! Mat walked by me, back up to the stage, and he caught my eyes and mimicked my open mouth! It was an unbelievable experience. The venue is on the smaller side (IMO) and I think enhances the guest experience as there isn't a bad seat in the house. I've included here the obligatory Mat Franco picture as well. Yes. I recommend seeing Mat's show to the zillionth percent times infinity. :) read more

Mat Franco - 12/27/24 - Performing Arts Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Thoroughly enjoyed this magic show! I am not actually the biggest fan of magic, but my husband sure is. We are Vegas locals and I bought tickets for his birthday. The theatre is nice, good size - meaning it's larger than I expected but also intimate enough to feel like you are part of the action and can see well. We were seated in high chairs with a small cocktail table in front, right about dead center of the theatre. The seats were comfortable and we had a good view. Neither of us were familiar with Mat Franco, so weren't sure what to expect. We were both so impressed by how fun and good this show was. May was really funny, quick-witted, and very talented. The magic was mind-boggling and quite impressive. Would highly recommend to show to others. (The only downside was that the parking garage at The Linq was tight and not fun to navigate but that has nothing to do with that show.) read more

Matt Franco at the LINQ is a great show in Vegas. The show featured a diverse range of illusions and card tricks. Matt delivered an unforgettable performance that is family friendly. My teens really enjoyed the show. The venue is a nice size, each seat provides a great view, creating an immersive experience. Matt seamlessly incorporated audience members into his acts, making everyone feel like a part of the magic. read more

Not knowing what to expect from this show except that it involved magic, we were amazed and entertained by Mat Franco's magic, as well as, his humor, background history, and engagement during the entire show with the audience. His tricks ranged for those simply performed on stage and prop, such as table and chairs, to out in the audience seating area. The entire show was energetic and quick paced which definately kept our constant attention. Of course, no photos or videos are allowed during the show which is normal for this type show. The Mat Franco Theater is a very nice venue with good seating and stage view from front to back, staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and great lighting, special effects/videos and sounds. The theater was a bit on the colder side, but didn't us distract too much. Overall, we have a very entertaining and fun time. read more

If you want to be amazed, go see Mat Franco. Awesome show that was very interactive and will leaving you scratching your head. Family friendly. Only complaint was the temperature in there had to be 60°. But other than that he has to be the best in Vegas when it comes to Magic. My husband is a tough critic and he raved about how good this show was. read more

Mat Franco's show was phenomenal! He had a great variety of magic ranging from close up slide of hand to teleportation - often including audience participation. My boys, 8 and 6, are now inspired to learn how to do magic from this show. I'd definitely recommend going and if you can get seats in the front row, you won't be sad.

Mat Franco - It's a bad show advertisement and cheap production. - Performing Arts Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I enjoy magic and try to catch a magic show when visiting Vegas. As a fan of America's Got Talent, he was the winner of the show in 2014 and got his show in Vegas 'Mat Franco, Magic Reinvented Nightly' at the Mat Franco Theater at the LINQ in 2015. Somehow I've didn't catch his show during my visits. So on this latest visit, we got tickets for a Monday show. The theater is on the second level of the LINQ accessed by escalator. The show starts with a film montage of Mat on his starting doing magic at a young age to winning AGT to getting his own show in Vegas. During this approximately 90 min show, he performed about nine magic acts and utilized audience members on several of them. He interacts with the audience and incorporates some comedy in the situation to make the show more entertaining. There is a large screen behind the stage that projects his card tricks, etc. that the all the audience members can see. He even came out in the audience for two of his illusions, one where is was one rom in front of us. It was a very entertaining show. Mat kept our attention to entire time as we were mesmerized by this illusions and got us saying "how did he do that" throughout the show. A great family friendly show that is highly recommended. read more

Excellent show!!! Row FF has big comfy chairs. They don't tell you that when booking. The row in front of FF is also a comfy padded couch/bench seat. We sat in GG and it was great! He interacts with the crowds and brings multiple people on stage to be a part of his illusions. He uses comedy with magic and it is absolutely a family friendly show! The theatre is kept cold so you may want a jacket. All other chairs except for the rows mentioned above are somewhat higher chairs and narrow in the hips. Could be uncomfortable for women with hips more than a size 24. There are nice restrooms just outside the theatre door. Escalators take you up to the theater. Very little walking from the front of the casino/Linq. I would absolutely do this show again and again! read more

Mat Franco - Performing Arts Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Took my 13 and 15 year old kids, and all of us walked out completely blown away. Mat had the entire audience fully engaged from start to finish. The magic itself is astonishing, but what truly elevates this show is Mat as a performer. He is warm, humble, funny, and his interaction with the everyone feels natural and personal, not rehearsed or forced. Every trick has a certain charm to it, making the experience feel very intimate. I am 55 and have seen countless live performances over the years....Vegas shows, concerts, theater, you name it. I can honestly say this ranks at or near the very top of anything I've ever seen live. I was left speechless repeatedly. If you're in town trying to choose just one show, this should be it. Without question. Worth every penny. read more

Amazing. Period. A must see while in Vegas! Matt Franco's magic show was worth every penny and very reasonably priced! First of all, he is so dang cute! Second, the show keeps you entertained the whole time as he tells stories about his childhood, family, and how he got into magic. The pictures just melt your heart! Third, his magic tricks are jaw dropping good. After every act, I was saying "what the?! How the heck did he do that?!" The theater is small and all the seats have a view. For his close up acts such as card tricks, they project what he's doing onto the jumbo screen above the stage so everyone can see. He randomly picks people in the audience regardless of where you are at, so no need to be in the front or aisle. They do not allow video or photos during the show so you'll just have to come and experience the magic for yourself! read more

Stunning. Kid friendly magical and hilarious show. I love him. It was one of my favorite things we did in Vegas

What a a fun show! Besides his wonderful, amazing magic tricks, he is funny and very engaging with his audience. He share personal tidbits about his background, how he got started and who were the people supported him (biggest fan was Grandma). He is a great story teller, so funny, and entertaining to watch. The show flew by and we were constantly amazed by his tricks! He was very liked. The staff, assistants and floor folks were amazing. The theater is located in the LINQ, is nice, modern and not too big, so it feels very intimate. I highly recommend checking him out. You will laughed, be entertained and will really enjoy the show! read more

Outstanding show. One of the first Magician Acts to win America's Got Talent, Mat Franco has been at this location for 8 years. If I knew how the "magic" was done, then it wouldn't be as entertaining. He took a wallet from a member of the audience and made it appear it a table in the audience that he had to cut open with a knife .. how'd he do that! He took a $100 bill from a member of the audience and made it show up in a sealed Ramon noodle flavor packet. At the end of the show during a "card trick" the last 8 cards played were the numbers on that man's $100 bill. Because I don't know how it's done, it's entertainment. Loved it. read more

This is a Vegas must! Mat is such a talented magician and we loved how friendly, down to earth, and humble he is. He really connects with the audience and gets to know the volunteers he incorporates into the show. The show is family friendly - there were people of all ages, and all enjoyed it! There is a bar just outside the theater for drinks. Photos are allowed, but no flash and no video. Mat tells some of his story with magic and shares about his family, inlcuding a touching video montage of them. This made the show all the more personable. His tricks were a variety from card tricks, sleight of hand, to some mind boggling/jaw dropping tricks. If you're in Vegas, don't miss this show! I'm ready to go back! read more

Great fun entertainment lasting 90 minutes! Crowd was very into the magic "experience". Per Mat, don't think, just enjoy. If you want to get involved, pick a seat near the front or definitely by the aisle. Mat was enjoyable to watch and cute pics and stories of him practicing magicas a young boy. read more

Never saw his tricks but it was interesting. I kept thinking of how he did some tricks. He does chose people in the crowd to participate on stage. read more

Mat Franco's show was fun, very entertaining, and interactive for both kids and adults! Throughout the show, there were many moments and tricks that blew me away which still gets me thinking of how he managed to do it!

I took my nine year old daughter to this show and we both really enjoyed it... We came straight from the airport to the Linq hotel and it was not a problem to have the bell desk hold our luggage for us even though we were staying elsewhere. We met a couple of other mom/daughter friends and everyone was in awe of Mat... He is not only an incredible magician, but a fabulous performer as well. He kept the entire audience (all ages) entertained throughout. At one point my daughter looked at me and said, "my brain hurts" from trying to figure out how he did what he did! My daughter and her friends were raising their hands to volunteer to be part of the show and screaming "I love you, Mat," throughout! We are still questioning how he did everything he did during the show... I also loved how he tells a bit about his own life history and family members in the show... Well done! If you want your mind to be blown, go see this show! Thanks Mat! read more

I had the time of my life at his show. His show was more than i expected! He's so entertaining and his magic is outstanding! I have no idea how he did it. I voted for him when he was on AGT and he definitely earned that win!! A must see magic show! You won't regret it!! read more

I've seen a lot of shows over the years, and of all the magic shows in Vegas, this is definitely the best! I've seen it twice now! Mat's illusions are quick, and a lot of it is close-up magic. I still can't tell how he does it! His tricks also involve a lot of audience participation, although he typically seeks out volunteers rather than choosing people himself. I highly recommend this show if you're able to go! It's located on the 2nd floor of the Linq! read more

Go. Watch. Now. Mat is engaging, interacts with the audience, is funny, oh and his magic is phenomenal too! Trick after trick we were just astonished. Definitely recommend the premium seats with extra cushion and a killer view. read more

4.5/5 round up to 5 - seats are super uncomfortable but Mat Franco has a great stage presence. My bf and I were in Vegas in December and we wanted to find a show to go to last minute. Wednesday night- there were seats left for Mat Franco's show and we opted for preferred seating in the middle - around $190 for two tickets after service fee/tax/all that. We've actually never seen America's got talent, which is what Mat Franco is most known for, but we browsed through reviews and his magic show seemed promising. In terms of magic tricks, I wouldn't say they're the most spectacular I've never seen. Granted, I still have no clue how it works but I've seen more "unbelievable" ones in other magic shows. However, what makes the show, at least for us, is that Mat Franco is super funny, engaging, and charismatic. He makes the show, in my opinion. Classic magic tricks, but he adds his own flair and personal story background to it. The seats are not comfortable at all- bar stools mostly and they're packed quite tightly together. There are a few plush chairs, but I'm sure you pay a premium for those. I would definitely recommend this show. If you want to get picked to go up, definitely sit in the front/in the front middle specifically. He tends to veer towards those seats for volunteers. Sadly, we didn't get picked since we were sitting further back but there's always next time. The theatre is also relatively small, so even sitting in the back wouldn't be too bad. For the closer up card tricks, there's also a camera view on the big screen. We showed up 30 minutes before showtime (7PM) and we had no wait to be seated. They escort you to your seat and remind you that there is no phone use/photography/video during the show at all. They also walk around patrolling during the show and I saw them tell off multiple people so they're pretty strict about it. read more

I have been a fan of Mat Franco ever since he won AGT back in 2014. And after watching tonight's show, I remembered why. He is not just an awesome magician (which he is) but he is a storyteller and comedian. I can't think of another show where I was so captivated for 90 minutes. The acts were creative, original, and memorable, and afterward he was so nice and friendly. If I only had one day in Vegas again, he'd make the cut a second time because his show was just that good. And the meet and greet VIP package was totally worth it. Would do again in a heartbeat. read more

We purchased last minute tickets in the premium seating section (DD 9 & 10) and we were not disappointed. The show is held inside the Linq. The theater is not huge but I would not purchase back row seats. The story telling, delivery and crowd interaction were amazing. The entire show flowed. Mr. Franco is a genius and so creative. The entire show I said "how the?". A must see. Great for kids, adults and worth every penny. read more
