Mat Franco

BIOGRAPHy

Mat Franco

NBC’s America’s Got Talent-winning magician Mat Franco takes an innovative approach to magic-making that’s driven by pure joy. Almost entirely self-taught, the Rhode Island native began staging his own shows before the age of 10 and quickly cultivated a performance style that highlighted his natural warmth and wit. Following a triumphant victory on America’s Got Talent and his first-ever primetime TV special, Mat Franco’s Got Magic, Franco is now headlining his own show, “Mat Franco -Magic Reinvented Nightly” at The LINQ Hotel + Experience in Las Vegas, an improvisation-fueled stage production offering boundless fun and a stunning sense of thrill and wonder. “Mat Franco -Magic Reinvented Nightly” was recently named Gold Winner for Best Production Show and the Mat Franco Theater was named Best Showroom / Live Venue by the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best of Las Vegas Awards. Since opening in 2015, “Mat Franco -Magic Reinvented Nightly” has been honored with seven Best of Las Vegas Awards. Claiming his AGT victory in mid-September 2014, Franco went on to host the America’s Got Talent Live show at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas later that month. Along with appearing on shows like Today, Steve Harvey, and Access Hollywood Live. With the aim of taking his audience on a “shared adventure,” the full-scale production “Mat Franco -Magic Reinvented Nightly” allows Franco to execute his magic with a grander sense of spectacle than ever before—all while maintaining the easy intimacy that’s long been central to his performances.
