Mat Franco

Mat Franco is a magician who rose to fame as the first winner of America's Got Talent's ninth season. Known for his personality-driven sleight of hand, he has since created a headlining Las Vegas show, *Magic Reinvented Nightly*, at the Mat Franco Theater inside The LINQ Hotel + Experience. His act blends intimate card tricks with large-scale illusions.

Franco's journey began in Rhode Island, where he started performing magic at age four. After studying at the University of Rhode Island, he toured college campuses before his breakthrough on AGT. His Vegas show has won multiple "Best Magic Show" awards and was the top-rated magic show on the Strip in 2021.

The intimate theater setting allows for up-close magic. Audience members are frequently brought on stage as part of acts like the 'human deck' of 52 random spectators.
