Mat Franco's Got Magic was a hit reality competition series that premiered on NBC in 2015. It starred the talented magician and illusionist Mat Franco, who had previously won season nine of America's Got Talent. In each episode, Franco showcased his mind-boggling magic tricks and close-up illusions in front of a live studio audience and celebrity guests.

The show was hosted by none other than the former Spice Girl and America's Got Talent judge Mel B. Alongside her, Mat Franco was joined by esteemed magicians and illusionists, including the legendary Penn & Teller, David Copperfield, and Neil Patrick Harris. These guest judges, who were also executive producers of the show, assessed Franco's performances and provided constructive feedback.

The series aimed to showcase the next generation of magic and illusion, with Franco leading the charge. He quickly became a fan favorite due to his endearing personality and exceptional talent. Franco's tricks ranged from levitating objects and making animals appear out of thin air to predicting the exact outcome of a football game. His budding relationship with Mel B also added a playful element to the show.

Throughout the competition, Franco's performances consistently wowed the judges and the audience, as he seamlessly mixed humor into his impressive tricks. The show's format required the magician to perform two tricks in each episode, and by the end of the season, Franco had showcased a repertoire of over 60 tricks. The last episode saw Franco perform his signature trick- an unbelievable mind-reading trick that involved audience members writing down their thoughts, and Franco correctly guessing them.

What made Mat Franco's Got Magic stand out from other reality shows was the way it highlighted the technical aspects of magic. Franco often explained the behind-the-scenes process of each trick and how he had constructed it. The show also had a large focus on inventing new tricks that had never been seen before. This aspect was especially highlighted in one episode, where Franco revealed a never-before-seen hamburger trick, which was both hilarious and mind-blowing.

Overall, Mat Franco's Got Magic was an entertaining and exciting take on the classic magic show, filled with wonder and surprise. Hosted by Mel B and judged by some of the most prominent magicians in the world, the show showcased Franco's undeniable talent, clever humor, and technical prowess. It set a new standard for reality competition series, with its emphasis on creating original tricks and demystifying the art of magic.
