“The audiences, my incredible team and the support of Caesars Entertainment have made this journey unforgettable. I’m grateful every night I get to step on stage!”
On Sunday, June 7, award-winning magician and Las Vegas headliner Mat Franco celebrated a milestone with his 3,000th performance of “Magic Reinvented Nightly” at The Mat Franco Theater in The Linq Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. The evening also marked his historic 10th anniversary year as a Las Vegas headliner.
Franco and his team celebrated the occasion post-show with a custom-designed cake and cupcakes shared backstage with cast, crew, family, friends and guests. “Reaching 3,000 performances is something I never could have imagined when I first arrived in Las Vegas,” said Franco.
“The audiences, my incredible team and the support of Caesars Entertainment have made this journey unforgettable. I’m grateful every night I get to step on stage!” Since opening his Las Vegas residency in 2015, Franco has entertained millions of guests with his signature mix of interactive magic, humor and storytelling.
After winning Season 9 of NBC’s America’s Got Talent, becoming the first magician to win the competition, he established himself as one of the Strip’s most beloved performers. The celebration is in addition to another milestone for Franco, who recently announced a five-year extension of his residency at The Linq, ensuring audiences will continue experiencing his show through at least 2030.
Over the past decade in Las Vegas, Franco has performed 3,000 shows at The Linq, celebrated 10 years as a headliner, entertained millions of audience members from around the world, become one of the longest-running and most successful magic headliners of his generation, extended his residency for an additional five years and used 100,000 decks of cards and 12,000 packs of ramen onstage.
Franco’s production mixes mind-bending magic, heartfelt humor, audience connection and crowd work. He constantly updates his show with new illusions and an energy that bridges the gap between modern magic and classic showmanship. Franco remains committed to delivering the unexpected.
