I was very excited to see Mat win AGT. After seeing his show in Vegas, I'm even more of a fan. I find most magic shows very dry and boring; Mat Franco's show was funny, creative (as in how he delivers the magic tricks), & nothing short of magical. Mat connected really well with the audience and that made the show so much better. Yeah yeah so what if you've seen some of these tricks before? So what if you know how he does his tricks? Stay at home and watch your own magic show then if you're so great lol If you focus too much on how magic tricks work, you're going to ruin the show for yourself. Just enjoy the show for what it is.
The only thing that I did not like was The Linq Theatre but I'm not going to let that affect my rating for the show itself. The Linq Theatre's setup is really strange & not like most theaters; it's a lot smaller with uncomfortable chairs. They serve drinks inside, which got pretty annoying after the show started since the cocktail waitresses had to use their flash lights walking around to deliver the drinks. It's a lot more convenient for everyone if they just set up a bar right outside of the theater.
