Being big AGT fans, we were excited to see Mat during our trip to Vegas! We went to his show on 12.27. We bought our tickets through Ticket Master, which gave the illusion of a bigger venue than what was actual. We could have purchased cheaper tickets and had seen the show better being a little further away from the stage. Mat is a great illusionist, and does a good job with his card story telling. He also does a good job engaging the audience.
Our disappointment was with the slow service and prices of the drinks (yes, we realize we were in Vegas and nothing is cheap). Another disappointment was with some of the tricks/illusions that Mat presented. Many were basically recycled from AGT and his TV show he did about a month ago. So instead of our kids being totally amazed, they announced what the outcome would be for most of the tricks.
Mat should do well in Vegas, but should try to introduce more new material to amaze his audience. He has the ability, just needs to implement it.
