how many times am I goin to watch this and fall in love with him?
ikr
a lot
hmm about 86 quintillion times
MissSunflower242 I think 100
MissSunflower242 maybe a thousand times
Original and very entertaining act, one of the best card tricks I have seen, but what a presentation! Smoothini's got competition!
Well i don't know if I'd call it original, I've seen it be done a couple of times by other magicians too.. for example: /watch?v=CAkdWUjdJyA .. but he's probably my favorite of them.
If Mat performed this trick on any other season of AGT or anywhere else in the world, he would have to tell a different story with those cards. The story is what is original.
Ya mannn
its been done before but he added a twist with the switcheroos he did with the cards if you watch carefully you can see it
Amazing card trick, but the Ghetto Houdini is still the man! The only bad thing is that I actually know how Smoothing did his tricks, but his guy I have no clue.
He has a great grandma
I want you to be my grandma and I'll be your little boy. kiss me
I saw this before the video really started and I was really confused because I was like... And? And then I realized you meant he has a GREAT grandmother, not a great-grandmother lol.
Tim Toothinator yup best of tge best
😂
Well if his you mean his grandma's mom, then he would have a great grandma
Actually so happy he didn't get the golden buzzer cuz we got to see his journey to stardom. He's incredible! Glad he won
That was before u could get it
+Renigadecrew the golden buzzers started in season 9 (2014)
backup cool Yea but you wouldn't have gone straight to the live shows. If he wanted to go strait through like david and leeman did it would be announced during Vegas week
And mainly the Golden Buzzer meant that the act just made it to Judgement Week, like any other act. This is why Dustin's Dojo and the ratchet exposers duo didn't go far. The first golden buzzer uses were just to piss off fellow judges who didn't find certain acts appealing (kinda like the first two times David Walliams in BGT used his golden buzzer on certain acts), later they became more useworthy.
As a Magician, I can tell you that even though the trick wasn't technically demanding, the performance made it. He took something old and overused and contextualised it beautifully in this context! For once, a guy other magician's can be proud of and that doesn't just ruin our reputation!
anyone else he betting his friends don't let him shuffle the deck when playing poker
meh. Mat: "Oh look! 4 aces!"
Super original. If he can do close up slight of hand tricks like that, he'll be amazing in the live shows.
Pinoys know
That trick..
I didn't know you were a magician....
Golden buzzer from me.
Smoothini and Mat Franco in one season. Magic is going to be awesome this season
+emma watson all i know that he did is he had make thumbs on for the salt trick and there were actually 2 red balls to start woth in Mel bs hand.
"self-taught" pretty sure most magicians don't got to hogwarts.....
Lol
They were saying he didn't get taught by another magician first hand but still that was kinda funny what you said.
+James Elliott-Hughes On a scale of 1 to idiot you are a solid 12
+Card Bush Ya +James Elliott-Hughes he was amazing give him a break He is my all time favorite magician I have seen ever! Dont diss him
+Card Bush if you say so mate. The truth is most magicians find a way to teach themselves, the whole self taught angle is designed to make him seem more impressive but ok....
if you look closely at the end where nick is telling you to subscribe there is a girl in a blue jacket and pink bow and she starting raising her arms and jumping. Not towards the camera though.
Lol
Wow thats funny
That totally just made my day! XD
VanishingCamera lmao good find
Omg I can't stop laughing
Went to college with Matt. We were in different fraternities but I can Honestly say that from the time I met him to when he graduated, he was always the portrait of a genuine gentleman and an all around awesome guy. He actually did magic every year for our yearly Greek Week talent show and he always killed it. Won every time he was in it. I am so happy to see him succeeding in what he loves to do! Great job Franco! Keep it up!
This made me smile.
ok.
+John Macain you uglyass s.o.b lol
Wow that story was awesome and the trick definitely mesmerized me love this dude😍😍😚
he has no idea that he is the winner of the show.
yup
EquestrianGamerGirl he won?
How does he not know?
@@monty294 lol
@@monty294 He's stupid
He was very good. I am a magician, and he took a classic trick and made his own version if it.
WOW GENIUS!! the magicians are taking over AGT!! all the singers/athletes seem so boring next to this..
HardwareAddiction Iii
czcams.com/video/uyElB2wGvLg/video.html Ka Bantu Subscribe channel admin,Please
As a 44 year old man that loves magic, this presentation was flawless and he knows his way around cards. Never saw any of the typical flaws. He's perfect!
Mark my words, this guy's going to win the show.
Yep.. that season he was the winner 👏🏻👏🏻
It's just the beauty in the talent these people have. It's almost unbelievable, yet so incredible.
What if Mat accidentally clicked the golden buzzer
your profile pic explains it all
+brandon young ikr
Ur pp though 😂
Kevin Nguyen he should have
He would not
I can do this... hold my beer
This is why this guy is a winner! It's not about how simple or easy his tricks are. Any intermediate card magician can pull them off. But the way he manages himself on the stage, charms everyone, the thought he puts behind the tricks makes him amazing. The human card race, the one where he did a cups and balls routine with a poem.. ahh, this guy is just so brilliant.
This dude makes me cry, his story is so insperational, his attitude is awesome, he is always smilng, he deserved to win... Mat Franco, you are an awesome person, and i would love to see you some day...
I saw him last night in Las Vegas and he was incredible.
I hate how they've shortened these down now and we don't get to hear the judges... (not that I always want to..but in this case I did)
Same disappointment here and if it wasn't for the good act I would have thumbed down this video. Now let's search for a longer version…
I think if you go to Hulu they have the judge comments.
Man there is something special about this guy, not only the original act he performed but his personality too💯💯
that background song makes this video simply amazing
I really really Love Magic 😍😍😍
*Tries to do a card trick*
*Messes up*
...
*Presses the golden buzzer*
more please
Congratulations Mat! winner of AGT!
I just love this guys attitude:)
My right ear wants to hear this video too.
Exactly. My. Thought.
He made that up as he went
😂😂😂
His magic trick story was really well done and his presentation made the performance really amazing!
Love how this card trick had a story line and it flowed very well!!!
My left ear really enjoys this
The fact that people are commenting very immature things, I'd like to see you try and do this trick, also try doing it with the confidence and stage presence he had. I hope he goes far.
Shuffling the deck the entire time.
i am so, so glad he won. he's incredible.
I love his perfomance..the best cards trick i've ever seen..and still watching it..
Wow, that was awesome! Even if you were able to decipher the mechanics of his sleight of hand, the creativity and timing behind the story were impeccable. And he had such performance charisma! I really hope that if he advances, he keeps his performances like that - personal and down-to-earth. Loved it (:
I like how the dropped a Black queen for Mel B and a Red queen for Heidi lol
I saw him in Las Vegas once, and he amazed the heck out of me. He’s AMAZING!!
This is my favorite magician! He does magic that I've never seen before!
lol, had one earphone in so I thought he wasn't talking xD
Lol, same way with me. No left earphone?
My left earphone got ripped off so i cant hear him talk :c
he deserve the golden thing
I met him last night and he performed even better tricks! He's amazing and has my full support
Congratulations Mat for Winning!
He seems very related to James and Dave Franco!
He's their cousin
Bill Nye The Science Guy Oh thanks! I was so puzzled when he wasn't listed as their brother!!!
Wait cousin? I thought he was the third Franco brother. Who is the third Franco brother then?
And Dave was in the movie Now You See Me, a movie about magic.
Dave was also in that movie with Seth Rogen, and Zach Efron.
i just watched this!
his smile is so beautiful
Astounding Magician, Amazing Storyteller and a Astonishing Showman!
my right ear feels left out
Nick Fradiani in the back at the end!😂😍😊
i thought i was the only one to see that😂
Where at in the end!
magic is all about presentation . mat franco is the best magic presenter, i have ever seen in my life.
his smile is so beautiful!!
at the end when nick cannon says to subscribe you see that guy who just won american idol. Nick fernando or something like that.
Fradiani I think
Ranifsophia "Well, maybe except for you, Heidi, you do have some undeniable 'six appeal'."
Jeffrey Brown k thx
Yep. He auditioned with his band
yup, nick fradiani, from my hometown 😊
i have done card magic for about 4 years and this is really good and i i'm pretty sure some off u have seen this trick but this guy made it even harder and the funny thing is that "normal" ppl can't even tell the "easy" way or the "hard" way i guees the "hard" way was just for magic ppl like me ^^
This guy take simple tricks and turns it to magic with charisma, innovation and motivation... this is the real talent. .-.
So many amazing magicians this year in AGT
He shuffled the cards before he started the story...so he didn't just lay down the cards...
Well theres a thing called false shuffles, search up card mechanic or Richard Turner and youll see he can make it look like he is shufflling cards Poker Procedure even though not a single card is being moved from its original spot.
I don't ever see this being a million dollar show in Vegas
I went to see him last month in Vegas... Amazing show. "magic reinvented nightly" Thats so true. He would pick crowd members and keep us engaged and made a story about the night even with people's ages, it was great.
He's lucky to have his grandma around
Yeah
Amazing, he's kind of cute
music's great, anyone know what it is?
Speechless... sorry that was just amazing!!
Seriously, I never thought anyone can come close to David, but this trick by Mat hands down AMAZING!!!!!!!
accidentally hits golden buzzer.
"Welp, it looks like I'm going to radio city"
lol, should've put the golden button inside glass box so people don't accidentally press it XD
does anybody know the name of the backgraound music ?
Absolutely brilliant !!
Now this is what I call TALENT :D
I'm sooooooo glad he won !!!!
Mat Franco is Amazing Self taught Magician....Keep it up Bravo
What if he accidentally pressed the golden buzzer.
What is the song ???
His smile is sooo genuine 😊❤️ I think I'm inlove
Amazing presentation, the background music gave me goose bumps!!
Who is watching in May 2016 like
I am so weirded out, we are in Season 12 Of AGT.
the background music please??
+Amelia Lojewski i dont think its sandstorm. darude-sandstorm is different, not this one.
Wow ! I can't wait to see the next round ! absolutly amazing card playin` !
I was floored when I saw this!!! True talent! Let's go Mat!!! This show needs more variety acts to win the show than singers. Only Olate Dogs and Kenichi Ebina have been non singing winners. It's time for magicians and comedians to take the crown! Mat is leading the charge!
name song pls 2:20
UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND REPRESENTTTTT
Why do I already like his personality? He is very talented and down to earth!
This music is perfect for his show!
Music durig the Trick ?
SOMEONE FIX MY RIGHT EAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my too
It may look like simple trick to others but what counts is the way it was presented. It was entertaining.
I AM SO AMAZED
Great!
Does anyone knows the title of this song? :)
Michaił Vietechovicz i want it too lol have you found it yet ?
No
Same I have been wondering for a while
***** u drunk dude? :D
+grashoper00 you must be new to the internet..
Mat Franco or Collins Key
Both are really well done self taught magicians but who do you think is the better magician.
I would say mat franco
Gabriel Xiong Mat Franco
+GlitterGlammer20 LOL
Well Matt Franco still won but still Matt Franco is better
I watched this recently. Very smooth, not slow at all, and not like anything I've seen before. I think AGT at its best is more than just skill, but originality. Very impressive. :)
Me too! I first became obsessed with magic because of 'Bewitched'. Then I saw David Copperfield and Doug Henning and I have never stopped loving being amazed! I don't care how it's done I just love to see it happen before my eyes.
Aren't most magicians self-taught?
pshhh... easy to do
vNx18 ya right
lmao，then y you are NOT on the stage？
I watch this over and over again
He is one of my favorite contestants in this season, and I'm glad he won.
Congrats Matt!! A gramma's grandson...gotta love it! You deserved to win!!! God bless you
I saw him perform at my college, he's amazing!
Saw his Vegas show. Had never seen AGT before. In Vegas? GO SEE IT! ONe of the best live shows I have ever seen. Was sitting literally 15 feet from him and was blown away! Spend the money you won't regret it
From one Johnstonite to another-Congrats Mat. Great trick.
