Mat Franco’s Magic Reinvented Nightly is a headline magic show at the LINQ Hotel & Experience on the Las Vegas Strip. Mat Franco won America’s Got Talent Season 9 and has headlined the LINQ since 2015. The show runs nightly with multiple performance times. Tickets start from approximately $59 per person. The LINQ location makes it a natural pairing with the High Roller — both attractions are on the same property.
The LINQ Promenade is anchored by two headline experiences: the High Roller observation wheel and the Mat Franco Magic Reinvented Nightly show at the LINQ Hotel. Mat Franco — America’s Got Talent Season 9 winner — has headlined his own Las Vegas show since 2015, making him one of the Strip’s most established resident magicians. This guide covers the show itself, tickets, how to get the best seats, practical visit planning, and why combining the show with the High Roller makes for one of the Strip’s best full-evening itineraries.

Mat Franco is an American magician best known for winning NBC’s America’s Got Talent Season 9 in 2014 — the first magician to win the competition in its history. He has headlined his own Las Vegas residency at the LINQ Hotel since 2015, performing his signature blend of close-up magic, large-scale illusions, and audience interaction in a purpose-built theatre.
His show, Magic Reinvented Nightly, is designed to feel spontaneous and interactive rather than scripted — a significant part of its appeal is that the magic is performed with and for members of the audience rather than at them. This approach makes the show particularly accessible for visitors who find traditional illusionist shows too remote or theatrical.
Mat Franco’s Magic Reinvented Nightly is an approximately 75-minute show combining close-up magic, sleight of hand, mentalism, large-scale illusions, and heavy audience participation. The format changes nightly based on audience interaction — Mat Franco is known for improvising with volunteers rather than using a rigidly scripted show. Appropriate for all ages, though the interactive nature means adults typically enjoy it most.

Buy This TicketMat Franco performs multiple shows per week with varying start times — typically two performance times per evening. Standard schedule is Thursday through Monday (dark Tuesday–Wednesday), though this may vary by season. Common performance times are 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm. Always confirm the current schedule on the LINQ Hotel website or Viator before booking, as dates and times vary by week.
The front rows are the premium seats — you’ll be able to see sleight of hand and close-up effects that are less visible from further back. They’re also the sections most likely to be selected for audience participation, which is either a feature or a concern depending on your preferences.
The centre mid-section balances proximity with the full-stage view — you can see close-up work and large-scale illusions equally well. Recommended for first-time visitors who want the best all-round experience without necessarily being called up on stage.
The far sides of the theatre can create angles where some stage magic is less effective or partially obscured. If seating choice is available, centre-front or centre-mid is preferable to far-side seats at the same distance.
The Mat Franco show and the High Roller are on the same LINQ property — the mat Franco Theatre is inside the LINQ Hotel, and the High Roller boarding entrance is at the rear of the adjacent LINQ Promenade. Combining both in a single evening is straightforward and makes for one of the Strip’s best full-evening itineraries. The recommended order is High Roller first (evening/sunset ride), then Mat Franco (show at 9:30 pm).
Yes — the show is family-friendly and appropriate for all ages. Children typically enjoy the interactive, improvisational nature. Younger children with short attention spans may find 75 minutes long; use your judgement based on the age of your child.
Approximately 75 minutes, typically without an intermission.
The typical schedule is Thursday through Monday, dark on Tuesday and Wednesday, with shows at 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm. Always confirm the current performance schedule directly with the LINQ Hotel or on Viator before booking.

No — audience participation is voluntary. However, Mat Franco will regularly invite audience members to participate, and the closer to the front you sit, the more likely you are to be selected. If you prefer to stay in your seat, let the volunteers in your section go first.
Refund policies vary by booking channel. Viator typically offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the show. Check the cancellation policy at the time of booking. For the most flexibility, book through a platform with a free cancellation option.
