Mat Franco ’10’s run on America’s Got Talent had us glued to our TV screens this summer. The marketing alum started studying magic at 4 and gave his first Vegas performance at 12. He wowed URI audiences as a student here with his blend of college humor and shocking illusion, and went on to found a talent agency for college performers. This June, he made it into our living rooms with a card-trick story tailor-made for America’s Got Talent. At press time, he was in the semi-finals. America finds him as enchanting as we do.
