Original and very entertaining act, one of the best card tricks I have seen, but what a presentation! Smoothini's got competition!
@tobbe909 11 жыл бұрын
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.
@keldemption3092 11 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

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.

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 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.
