We wrap up our three month series of the Las Vegas Chronicles with a chat with one of the hottest and newest acts on "The Strip": Mat Franco. Winner of Season 9 of "America's Got Talent [sic]" (AGT) Mat Franco has starred in his own show in Las Vegas for the past 18 months. Based more on his personality rather than big illusions, dancers, lights and music, Mat Franco consistently packs in the house at the newly remodeled Linq Casino and Hotel where he "Reinvents Magic" nightly. His show features many of the magic tricks he performed on AGT and does include one major stage illusion and a finale that brings together the whole show. I don't want to spoil any surprises in store for you when you see the show, which I highly recommend. There is a lot of competition for your dollar in Las Vegas, but I recommend that you save some funds to see one of the best show on the Strip, Mat Franco.
But back to the podcast, after I watched his show, I was invited to his dressing room to record our chat. He is just as charismatic off stage as he is on stage. And the stories he told about his experience on AGT were completely different from others I have talked with who have also "competed" on the show. But then again, he is the first and only magician to have won first place on AGT! In this chat, Mat also talks about building his show on the college circuit and why he wanted to be on the show then how he created new ideas each week that earned him his just reward. You can watch a compilation video of his AGT performances, see some candid photos I took back stage, read the blog, listen online to the podcast and download the MP3 file at: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scot......t-franco Of course you can always subscribe, download and listen to the podcasts through iTunes, Stitcher, Tunein, Feedpress, Google Play, and a variety of other podcatchers.
