Oh my gosh....Mat Franco's performance was excellent, amazing and not to be missed! Mat is so personable and connects so well with the audience. His show was so entertaining and we are still trying to figure out how things were done! The venue is not huge so viewing from anywhere within is good. We sat in the last row and were able to see perfectly. If you have the time, I would highly recommend getting tickets for Mats show as it does sell out and is worth every penny.

I have seen David Copperfield, Penn and teller, Chris angel, and now Mat Franco. Let me just tell you Mat hands down without a doubt is the best. This show is absolutely amazing I was jaw dropped the entire time. Some other magic shows I've seen (not saying which ones) but I could easily tell how the illusions were done, not with Mat, it's as if the man has actual magic in his bones and I sat 2nd row so I was close enough to spot any funny business. I would HIGHLY recommend any one to go see him. I loved how entertaining he was, funny, engaging with the audience. Just an all around fantastic time I am so happy I went to see him.

Mat Franco is an excellent magician. He doesn't do the big flashy stuff like Copperfield but his trick seem more genuine. His love and passion for his craft as well as his joy when interacting the audience is on full display. This magic as it is meant to be: clean, fun, funny, and baffling.

Our group of 16 attended the show for one of nights of entertainment and we all enjoyed it. When you think about Vegas shows, magic is one of the things you think about and this was great. We had a couple of people in our group participate which made the evening more special for our group. I will say I was impressed by the show and greatly enjoyed it.

Mat Franco has a broad variety of tricks and illusions that leave you in awe. He is charismatic, energetic and creates a show that gives you a feeling as if he’s not doing the same show over and over every night. He is an excellent entertainer and very engaging. Besides his magic tricks, the show is funny for all ages. Even my pre-teen / teenager boys really loved the show and laughed a lot.
Seats in the back can still see well as cameras show close-up details.

I expected to be surprised, but I found it somewhat predictable. The guy is very skilled, he does some incredible card tricks, the problem is that everything is repeated and they are tricks that don't bring any big surprises.
It's worth it for the magician's charisma and skill.

The comment about all “plants” in the audience is completely false. We were way up top in venue and Mat personally came up and chose my wife to perform his card tricks on stage. It was a great performance, one of the better magicians in Vegas.

Highly recommend this show! He’s funny and very interactive with the audience. The magic is amazing and left us constantly asking how is he able to do that. He has some touching moments about his family and how he got into magic as a kid. The theater is small so there isn’t a bad seat in the place. We had seats in row PP of the Reserved Seating but because it wasn’t a sold out show (Monday night) they moved us up a few rows when we got there. Tickets are a bit expensive but worth every penny. This was the perfect date night for our last night in Vegas. I would absolutely see him again.

We saw Matt on 11-21-23 with my and my brother’s family. My parents also joined us.
I can’t even say enough good things! Matt is amazing and we loved his show. I think it was very classy and everyone of all ages will love it! He brings a component of his family life into the show and really just shows what kind a man he is!
His slide of hand is top notch and fast! He doesn’t say anything inappropriately and everyone is dressed professionally. Parents, this is a show that is completely safe to bring your kids too and they will enjoy! We had kids from 2-12th grade in our group and they all loved it!
Bravo Matt! We will definitely see your show again!

Mat Franco’s show at The Linq in Vegas is full of good humor, sleight of hand and up-close magic. He’s a rising star who should only get better in the coming years.
Franco channels the legendary David Copperfield in his stage persona, nostalgic family tales and in the playful manner in which he interacts with his audience.
Much of this production at the Linq involves card tricks and other small objects that require large video projection. So in essence, you are watching the big screens more-so than the man under the stage lights. His 75 minute show entertains with Franco using cards to show what his many audience volunteers are thinking or by picking cards that relate to their personal stories. He doesn’t attempt any grand illusions. It’s not a big budget production. But whatever the show lacks in flash and awe, it makes up for in Franco’s affable persona and sense of humor. He also makes good use of popular contemporary song snippets as bumpers between tricks. Franco was a past winner of America’s Got Talent. He’s only gotten more polished in the years since. As his career as a headliner evolves, he would greatly benefit from having a couple of show-stopping illusions that will make his show even more memorable.

Does the 7pm show tend to sell out for the cheaper seats? I’m not sure which night we want to go so can we buy last minute or do you think we need to pre buy?
Written September 30, 2024
Hi All, Wondering if you can tell me if the nonpremium seats in the back, reserved and table seats have backs, or are they stools?
Written February 3, 2022
Stools in the back there are some seats closer that have tables we were in row M and literally in the back. It was really sub par.

Does anyone know if you get any type of a discount when buying group tickets from their group sales office? I might need 10.
Written December 7, 2019
Similar to what the folks said above ... there is a discount available online in groups of four ... I also so a pretty good discount just through ticketmaster as well! Good luck ... great show!

Hi! I'm wondering if this is suitable for children. I have a 5 year old. She is great at sitting still, but I'm concerned about content. Thanks!
Written June 17, 2019
We've seen the show twice and loved it both times. Family friendly but I don't think a five year old would get anything out of it.

Does anyone know if Mat Franco is in Vegas during the month of August. Going to Vegas the end of August but there’s no date for August? Not sure if it’s just too early or he’s not there?
Written April 28, 2019
I would go to the Linq Hotel website. They had some early August shows posted but might only offer tickets 3-4 months out.
Written April 28, 2019
How easy is it to get day of show tickets? We have the las vegas pass so we would need to redeem the passes for a show once the box office opens. It looks like a small venue so I dont really care about seating. Does the show ever get sold out?
Written February 26, 2019
Mat Franco show absolutely sells out. Get tickets in advance. I learned the hard way. Having said that, most shows do hold a number of seats to be released for sale on the day of the performance so it’s worth a shot if you are willing to potentially be flexible with your plans.
