Mat Franco
Mat Franco’s Magic Reinvented Nightly pairs live magic with audience-driven improvisation at The LINQ. Plan for a 90-minute show, choose seats for the performance itself, and add extra time if you book the post-show meet-and-greet.
Compare the verified ticket sources, then choose the date and seats that fit your plans.
About Mat Franco
Mat Franco uses conversation and audience reactions to shape Magic Reinvented Nightly. The tricks provide the structure, but the people in the room help determine how the evening unfolds. That makes it an appealing choice if you enjoy a magician’s connection with the audience as much as the final reveal.
The production takes place in the Mat Franco Theater at The LINQ. Its approximately 600-person setting supports a different kind of night from an arena-scale spectacle: focus your expectations on the magic, personality and live exchanges rather than a huge scenic production.
Choose Mat Franco for a group that wants an approachable magic show and is happy to follow spoken interaction. Families should consider the five-and-up admission rule alongside their children’s ability to enjoy a 90-minute performance. For a keen young magician or an existing fan, the optional meeting afterward may matter more than a small improvement in row position.
Plan the live magic, family timing and optional meeting afterward, with extra attention to any special-taping notice on your date.

Planning Your Visit
Ticket choices, timing and practical details for your visit.
What “reinvented nightly” means for your visit
Franco combines established magic with improvisation shaped by the people attending. Expect the live exchanges to be part of the entertainment. That does not mean every trick is replaced at every performance, or that a return visit guarantees entirely new material. Choose a second visit because you enjoy the format rather than expecting a completely different production.
Book for the view, not a promise of participation
Audience interaction is part of the show, but a particular seat does not entitle its holder to become a volunteer. Pick a location your group will enjoy even if nobody is selected. For a child who is excited about magic, explain this before the evening so watching the performance does not feel like missing out on something the ticket promised.
Planning a family evening at The LINQ
Admission is for ages five and older, and everyone needs a ticket. Consider the 90-minute length when choosing a start time. Have dinner early enough to reach the theater without rushing, and handle restroom stops before entry. If children have different interests, talk about the combination of magic and conversation rather than presenting it as a nonstop sequence of large illusions.
What the VIP meet-and-greet includes
The post-show upgrade offers a photo on your own device, an autographed collectible, a custom deck of cards and a commemorative pass, with access to the stage. It is sold separately from the performance. Match both bookings to the same date and leave the time after the show open. Arrive with a charged phone if taking the photo is a priority.
Watch for special taping dates
A listing labeled as a special taping has additional conditions. The October 5, 2026 Netflix taping, for example, asks guests to avoid prominent clothing logos and notes that a filming release may be required. Read the notice for your chosen event and any follow-up instructions. Do not apply a standard evening’s timing assumptions to a filmed performance without checking.
Make The LINQ your meeting point precisely
The theater is inside The LINQ; use its full name when arranging to meet friends. A plan to meet somewhere on the Promenade is too vague when the start time is approaching. If you eat in the area first, leave a separate buffer for finding the entrance and reaching your row. Aim to be at the theater roughly 30 minutes before a standard performance.
Compare the total experience before paying
For a 7 p.m. show, the normal 90-minute runtime suggests an end around 8:30 before departure or the VIP meeting. Compare seats and any upgrade against that whole evening, rather than adding extras without checking your next reservation. For group arrangements, contact sales@matfranco.com. Describe access or companion-seat requirements before choosing a location, and check the terms of the specific seller’s offer.
Where to Sit for Mat Franco
Choose a comfortable view for the live magic, then decide separately whether meeting Franco is worth an upgrade.
A central view of the stage
Compare centered options at several distances before selecting a price tier. This gives you a useful baseline for judging whether a nearer side seat is worth more to you. Keep the whole party’s view and seating together in the comparison.
Closer rows for a fan
A closer location may appeal to someone who particularly wants to watch the magician at shorter range. Buy it for that reason, not for a presumed chance of being chosen. A separate VIP experience is the option to examine when meeting Franco is the actual priority.
Family comfort and access
Resolve the route to your row and any seating assistance first. Ask the box office about the exact arrangement if a child’s view or an adult’s mobility is a concern. Do not assume an aisle location answers every access question.
Common Questions

Guests must be at least five, and every attendee needs a ticket. Choose a performance time that works for your child’s attention span.

When does the meet-and-greet happen?
It takes place after the performance. Leave that part of your evening free and follow the instructions issued with the upgrade.
What if our date is listed as a taping?
Read the event notice and follow-up instructions carefully. Filming can bring clothing guidance, release requirements and different timing considerations.
I recently attended Mat Franco's show in Las Vegas and it was truly impressive. His talent and showmanship were top-notch and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great entertainment experience. One perk was that we were able to bring our own water, saving us from having to pay for expensive drinks inside. However, the concession options were limited and could have been better.
Mat's action-packed show had a great venue, but started a little late. The LED screen was fantastic, and Mat's witty humor and amazing magic made for a fantastic live experience. He interacted so well with the audience that I would definitely recommend the show..
Mat Franco's show in Las Vegas was a highly entertaining experience. While the show started a bit late, the venue was fantastic and the LED screen added to the overall experience. Mat's humor and incredible magic tricks kept the audience engaged throughout the entire performance. His interaction with the audience was a highlight, making it a show worth recommending to others.
This show was absolutely incredible! Mat Franco is such a talented magician with a captivating stage presence. He keeps you entertained with his humor and charm throughout the entire performance. The intimate venue really adds to the experience, especially for the close up tricks. The stage setup and support team were also impressive. If you're a fan of magic, I highly recommend seeing Mat Franco in Las Vegas!
Hands down worth every penny! The flow of the show is amazing. We were upgraded to the front of the stage area and the. I was also picked to go up on the stage. I have no clue how this man got a card under my hat while I had it on the whole time. 🤯 while I was on stage I kept my eyes on his hands the whole time however, I never seen how he did anything and I was right next to him!? Crazy good. He plays will with the crowd and the ending was awesome.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I enjoyed my time at the Mat Franco show. He was funny and an incredible magician. I do wish he preformed a few more tricks versus the filler videos; but that would be my only complaint. The box office was very helpful as well being that I am from Canada and Ticketmaster kept asking me to get a verification code which was pretty impossible since I didn't have a texting plan in the US. They helped me out and printed my ticket.
All in all I am glad I decided to check out this show while staying at the Linq and I would recommend it to others.
We thought about splurging on the couches and glad we didn't. We sat just behind the couches. Every seat you can see well from. The way it's laid out is great. I don't like high seats but to view his show it's mandatory.
Intimate theater is the ideal setting to see Mat Franco perform. He is incredibly talented and his show is a must see. It's interactive so be ready to participate and be amazed!
This show was awesome! We hadn't seen him before on America's Got Talent, but read a lot of reviews and it sounded great. This is a great option for a magic show on the strip. His tricks caught us off guard so many times! I also really liked that it was a smaller theatre, it felt more intimate. They do also do a great job of putting his smaller tricks up on a screen. I'd honestly go back to his show again it was that good.
Oh yeah, this is the one to see!
Mat Franco has such a great personality, matched with real skills makes this a great experience. So much fun to watch! Our seats were perfect to see everything: Sec PREF, Row JJ, Seat 3 - 6. Enjoy!
My wife and I had longed to see Mat live on AGT for years and his performance certainly did not disappoint! He was great at interacting with the crowd, bringing many of them up on stage for a closer look at his tricks, and joked with them throughout. His mastery of magic was extraordinary! We cannot recommend this show enough!
Mat's magic show was outstanding. He made everyone feel involved and captivated the audience with his tricks. No one knows how he does it, but the phone illusion he did was truly mind-blowing. His performance on America's Got Talent was amazing, and watching it live was even more impressive. We can't wait for him to come back!
It's very easy to see why Mat Franco won America's Got Talent. I've always loved a good magic show and he has the charisma, comedy, and illusions to create an epic performance. I would highly recommend Mat Franco to anyone visiting Las Vegas.
