Mat Franco's latest appearance on America's Got Talent season 19

Mat was featured as the guest performer in the latest episode of America's Got Talent. His magic routine was inspired by suggestions from fans and judges.

He shocked the judges by correctly guessing the card number they randomly picked. One suggestion requested that Mat give someone magic power. He used an audience member as an assistant and placed a coin on their palm. He then made the coin flip on its own, taking everyone by surprise.

At the climax of his act, he revealed the writing on a board where he previously predicted that he would "read minds", "give someone magic powers," and "predict the future" as part of his performance on AGT. Everyone inside the auditorium cheered and applauded the magician's skills.
