Several magicians have competed on "America's Got Talent" over the years, with some winning the entire competition.
Mat Franco became the first magician ever to win America's Got Talent in Season 9 (2014). The Rhode Island native wowed audiences with his charismatic card tricks and innovative illusions. After winning, he secured a Las Vegas residency at The LINQ Hotel & Casino, where his show "Magic Reinvented Nightly" became one of the highest-rated magic shows in Las Vegas. The theater was later renamed the "Mat Franco Theater" in his honor. He has made multiple guest appearances on AGT since his win.
Shin Lim, a Canadian-born close-up magician, won Season 13 in 2018. He is notable for being only the second magician to win AGT, and he also won the "AGT: The Champions" competition in 2019, making him the first (and so far only) act to win both the main show and the Champions spinoff. Lim specializes in card manipulation and has a residency at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
Dustin Tavella became the third magician to win AGT in Season 16 (2021). The Virginia Beach magician is known for incorporating personal stories and family themes into his magic. He often featured his husband and adopted sons in his performances. He won the $1 million prize and headlines in Las Vegas.
Jon Dorenbos is a former NFL long snapper (Philadelphia Eagles) who finished in third place on Season 11 of AGT. After his 14-year NFL career ended, he became a world-class magician and now works as a motivational keynote speaker. His powerful personal story of overcoming tragedy (his father murdered his mother when Jon was 12) and choosing forgiveness has inspired audiences at Fortune 500 companies worldwide. He blends card magic with inspirational messaging in his speaking engagements and has performed at events with Tony Robbins.
