The LINQ Theater

Went to see Mat Franco magician. He was GREAT!!!! All seats were very good. We saw 4 shows and my wife got super seats for all. Linq is great because it is a small venue which works well for a magic show. Definitely recommend this show when you visit Lad Vegas.

Watching Matt Franco show is a must when you in Vegas. Never seen such a good one. The skills and the way he manipulates is amazing. Definitely recommend watching it

Smaller intimate theater. Mat Franco's show is highly recommended! If you can do the meet and greet... I highly recommend that too! Mat is really cool and down to earth.

Saw Matt Franco and I can't say enough about it. His magic is fantastic but what I think makes it even more special is his Enthusiasm and joy. It carries over and made me happy and laugh and smile!!! I would definitely recommend!!!

Saw Mat Franco at the theater there. It was a great show.

Great magic show for everyone. Excellent for all ages. Mat gets the whole audience involved along with volunteers. My wife and kids ages 9 and 6 loved it. The theater is perfect size. Get there early and enjoy a drink. We sat in the couch style seats which were great and very comfortable.

We saw Frank Marino's Divas here. The show was great! Overall the venue is nice and appears to have been recently updated. The main chairs are nothing special, and didn't appear very comfortable. Luckily, we had enough of us that we were able to book an entire booth. The booth was very comfortable and provided a great view. They do provide waiters for bar service, but it seemed to take awhile to order/get a drink.

Great Mat Franco show. Sleight of hand is unreal. Very engaging personality, witty, funny and also down to earth. Can't go wrong with seeing this. As a reference, saw MJ one and WOW. both were very good. Enjoyed Mat the most

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!

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.

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!

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.

Great entertainment for the whole family. Mat connected really well with the audience. The magic was really good. Family friendly but not a "kids show".

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! People from the crowd were also chosen to participate on stage as well. We sat in Row D, seats 1-3. The view were good, the theater is clean and spacious. The theater is located inside the LINQ hotel.

What a great show! Mat is very talented, funny and engaging. Many of the tricks ended in WTF??! moments. You should go! I do wish they did not use TicketMaster as it is a real pain.

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!

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.

Great magic! Would recommend. Lots of card tricks, could have varied the tricks up to not include cards but they were all Amazing and definitely got my moneys worth! Smaller theatre so felt more personal.

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.

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!

We went LV for just 3 days on New Year day & looked for a good magic show for my 2 adult sons. We decided to buy the special-deal tickets to sit at the very end table. This show was fabulous & we all liked it! He presented various kinds of tricks & spoke with humor & compassion. I personally liked the ending part which showed his memorization (couldn't tell where the cheat sheet was!). He also mentioned how hard he has been practicing to aim for his passion. It's very inspiring to youngsters like my sons.

We grabbed tickets to this show on a whim.... We like magic. This was incredible. I would highly recommend splurging for a closer seat. We were 3rd row off-center. Yes, there are screens- but absolutely worth it to be able to see some of the illusions with your own eye. There were tricks we couldn't wrap our heads around. His sleeves were rolled up, but he was making objects appear out of thin air. I don't want to spoil the show for anyone, but highly recommend.

Family friendly show! Mat is an awesome card magician! We were wondering HOW DID HE DO THAT?! After every trick. Mat does lots of audience participation, my husband was picked to go up for one of the act. The kids were engaged the whole time! Now they want to learn magic!

The wife and I love Magic, and unfortunately we could not get tickets for David Blaine or Shin Lim and I have seen Copperfield before. This Mat fella was a winner on America's Got Talent 7 years ago and has had residency in Vegas since then, and I experienced first hand why. Mat has crazy good stage presence and his Magic was amazing. We were in the second row and his close up Magic was unbelievable. Definitely worth the money even after the US conversion! (CAD dollar sucks). I would rate this show way!!!! Above Copperfield. If anyone has seen Steve Cohen, he even ranked higher than him in my opinion. Super talented fella!!

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.

What a great show. Mat is definitely a great entertainer. He really keeps the audience involved by including them in on the fun. I remember seeing him on AGT, but he's 10 times better now. We got last minute tickets and were worried about the seats, but there isn't a bad seat in the house. I will never be able to figure out how he pulls off all of the magic. Great family show. My only complaint would about how cold it was in there.

So good! Go see this show. Mat interweaves the origins of his passion for magic, family, and, of course, the actual magic. There were so many times I knew I should be clapping but was so engaged/confused/amazed by the magic, that I found myself just staring and wondering how he did that! Mat is a wonderful showman, entertainer, and storyteller. Go see his show. You won't be disappointed.

Very entertaining magic show as I was quite surprised. I usually book one show per trip to Vegas. We booked our tickets a month in advance on Ticketmaster. The show is located at The Linq hotel. You can grab a bite to eat at the Linq Promenade but no outside food or drinks allowed inside. My husband was more into deciphering the trick as he caught on to a few of them. I don't want to give anymore away. Definitely worth seeing at least once. He won't call you on stage if you don't raise your hand lol.

We were completely blown away with this show. We are fans of magic and we were totally amazed! He is very personable and interactive with the audience. I recommend sitting on the aisle if possible and several volunteers were picked along the center aisle/walk way. The seats are mostly tall bar stools so seeing the stage was not a problem. Highly recommend especially for such a reasonable price for Vegas!

My fiancé and I stopped in Vegas for a night and wanted to hit up a magic show - we are so thankful we saw this one! Mat put on an amazing performance - I've never been to a magic show before so I was completely blown away! He was very interactive with the audience and was quick-witted with his chosen participants. All of the magic tricks were absolutely fantastic! The theater is in the Linq Hotel + Experience on the 3rd floor. I'd like to also review the team member (whether it was Mat's team or a hotel staff) who assisted us with our ticket issues. We had accidentally purchased tickets for a Friday show, and she went to talk with several people who were ultimately willing to help us exchange tickets for the Wednesday show! We were incredibly thankful for her willingness to help us out. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. If you want to see a great show for an affordable price (and one that's family friendly) check out Mat!

It was a good time. Though some of the impossible feats of "magic" were clearly staged as expected it was entertaining.

Mat Franco is an extremely gifted magician and showman with great stage presence, humor, and personality. He draws the audience in to make the experience interactive. His acts are so varied and creative that you feel like you're witnessing something fresh throughout his show. Our only disappointment was the seating at the LINQ hotel theater. We selected seats in the fourth row (DD) where everyone in front of us was seated at the same level. There were some swaying heads that blocked our view and made for a distracting and annoying experience for the first 10 minutes. The rows behind us were elevated and better suited for this stage. Fortunately, no one was seated right behind us... so we were able to move back and up... with no more distractions. If you like front row seats, then the first row would be fine... but I would avoid buying any seats in rows BB, CC, and DD.

Mat Franco was the smoothest, coolest, funniest magician we've seen. If there's one magic show you can't miss. This is it! It was wholesome too, so you can bring little ones. He got a standing ovation at the end of the show and I'm sure this happens every night.

What a great show!!!! Matt interacts with the crowd and even brought my kids on stage and gave them all a pack of cards! The magic he does is amazing and we had so much fun. The show is 1.5 hours long and it was worth every penny. The seats are just regular old chairs like you'd see at a restaurant or ones you'd buy yourself but they are not super comfy or even like movie theater seats. The seats at the move theaters are more comfy than the chairs in here but that didn't take away from my experience sitting in the front row and seeing the Magic up close and seeing Mat interact with my kids. It's an experience we'll never forget!

Loved it! Mat has great stage presence and his storytelling just adds to the already amazing magic he does. Interacts with the crowd and seemed so genuine in his love for his craft.

I've always seen the advertisements for Mat Franco but never had a chance to see the show. When I was offered tickets to see it on 9.28.2022, I jumped at the chance to finally see it. Located at Linq, I wasn't expecting much but it was a fantastic show. I will say that I'm not a fan of the no photos policy. I felt bad for the family seated in front of us who were told to put their phones away by an usher when they wanted to take a photo of their 6 year old who was chosen to go on stage to participate. Really? I don't watch regular TV so I had no idea that Mat Franco was from AGT. He is a fantastic performer! There was only one trick that he did that I recently saw another Vegas magician, Murray Sawchuck, perform - the handkerchief & egg trick. More often than not, I kept asking my husband "how is he doing this?!?" His card tricks are very impressive. I'd absolutely recommend this show.

Super cool Magic. Matt has a great personality. Good for kids and adults. Don't know how he did a lot of the tricks. Highly recommended.

Great show!!!! You'll be scratching your head the whole time and wondering how the heck he does the illusions.

Super fun and mind blowing show. He has a great presence and just seems like a good guy too. This show was a fav out of all 4 shows we saw in Vegas for my kids (12 and 14) and for my hubs and myself.

When planing our Christmas trip to Vegas we were sure we wanted to take our magic loving kid to a great show. There are so many options out there and we landed on Mat's show. For the entire family, of all the shows we went to Mat Franco was the best. Family friendly, super funny and great magic tricks!!

We took our 8 and 9 year olds and this show was the highlight of their trip. Mat was funny and personable. The magic was fun and exciting. We all enjoyed the show. We bought our tickets on Groupon and felt the price was on point. Highly recommend. Clean and appropriate for kids.

LOVED this show! He is so personable with the audience. He loves what he does as it shows! He seems like a genuinely awesome person who loves his family. I want to hang out with him and his grandma. The illusions are great. I'd go see this show again in a heartbeat. 5 stars!!!

10/10 recommend this show! His crowd work is incredible and keeps you highly engaged the whole time. I still can't wrap my head around the magic tricks he performed, I don't wanna give any away, but you will for sure be leaving the show going how in the heck did he do that?!?

If I could have given 10 * ... I would have. I don't watch reality TV and not familiar with America's Got Talent. A couple years ago, I saw Criss Angel in Vegas during his contract negotiations ... awful show. So I had no expectations for this show. It was AMAZING! It is family-friendly. Lots of audience participation. The small theater is perfect for his performance. There isn't a bad seat in the theater. There wasn't an empty seat. We just kept looking at each other saying "How did he do that?" Mat Franco's show is definitely on any future trips to Vegas itinerary. He mentioned his contract was renewed for 5 more years. Congratulations!

It's a great show! I had lots of fun and amazing time. They passed me to the stage and I felt a lot of excitement

Boring. The tickets we got are fillers. No wonder why. Up to you, though. That's just me. Plain BORING.

The fiancé and I love going to magic shows so didn't think twice before getting tickets to this show. Mat Franco was amazing!!! I would totally recommend his show! He's great at what he does and I love how he brought together his story and a ton of humor to his show. The seats in the theater are not the most comfortable but once the show starts you barely even notice. If you haven't seen him yet, you must go!

The Jabbawockeez cancelled on me, so I was left to find another show to fill the evening's entertainment. To be honest, Mat Franco was picked out of convenience because we were staying at the LINQ and it was a quick ride down the elevator from our room and up an escalator to the show. It was kind of disappointing how slow check-in was. We arrived 5 minutes before the show started, but it took 20 minutes to get inside. They only had 1 person checking tickets and then once you got inside you had to wait to be escorted to your seat. The show itself was a lot of fun and totally family friendly! I'm glad that I hadn't seen any of his "AGT" performances before, because everything was completely new to me. The show was about an hour and fifteen minutes from start to finish, but really seemed shorter since I was having so much fun!

So much fun and truly Magic Reinvented Nightly. Mat was so engaging with the audience. The close-up magic are fresh and just pure entertaining. His skills are world class and the show was jaw droppingly amazing. For this December 10 show, the family from Atlanta who was late, missed Mat levitate a helicopter and hang on it with a fire tornado underneath! Shout out to Mauro from Earth. He must have thought Mat was from another planet.

Very entertaining. Great for all ages. Lasts about the right time. A definite evening in Vegas.

Worth the money, 10 out of 10 performance. Magic with ad lib comedy oh'ed and ah'ed the crowd.

The magic show is very good with amazing sleight of hand especially flicking the cards around and making them appear and disappear. Just a funny and likable guy - the show exudes personality. One star penalty for the really stiff uncomfortable seats, slightly rundown venue and spotty overpriced drink service. Not your fault Mat but just just keeping it real.

I would give this show 100 stars if I could. Mat Franco was incredible. Very family friendly but from the youngest person to the oldest person in the theatre I think everyone was amazed.

Great show! I love magic shows but my favorite ones are the comedic ones like Penn & Teller which we've seen already the last time we were in Vegas. Mat is very personable and funny. One of his tricks you can see on Youtube. Some of the other tricks were done, but "reinvented" using the new audience. Nonetheless, still very enjoyable to watch because I am amazed how these tricks are applied with the new audience. Don't spend too much time trying to figure out how he does anything - just enjoy the show! Very family friendly - would love to bring my kids. He reminds me of the show of Netflix - "Magic for Humans." So if you enjoy that show, you'll enjoy Mat Franco! Seating wise - if you want to be selected in the audience participation, you'll need to sit in the premium or preferred sections. If you are in the reserved section, try not to sit behind another row or else you'll be trying to move constantly to see the show. I would recommend preferred section at least. It's only about $20 difference.

We've seen several magicians on the strips, May was our first show, and remains the best in our opinion

Just go!! Best magic I've ever seen. I had a headache when I left because it boggled my mind. Go. Trust me!! Oh. Great for the whole family!!!!!!!!

Date of visit: 6/5/2021 Great show. Came here with my teens and they were so psyched! Highly recommended!

6-18-2021 This is an Excellent show, that our group of 4 really enjoyed. Mat is back after the Covid hiatus and he did not disappoint. Mat has a great personality and he really draws in the audience with his quick funny wit and cool tricks (magic) which involved several members of the audience. I really Love the personal touches he puts in the show, explaining his love of magic and how it started when he was a kid and even Includes personal home video clips. I Definitely recommend this show and suggest you get tickets early. There were very few empty seats available for purchase at the door. Show lasted about an hour and is suitable for kids. We had table 32 and our backs were literally against the back wall of the theatre but the view was great. Not a bad seat in the theatre. They have large screens on stage for the real Close up look at all the magic action. The Mat Franco theatre is Located in the Linq on 3rd floor, take the elevators next to the check in desk. Very easy to find. Go check him out and support Vegas shows.
