With slight-of-hand tricks as quick as his wit, Justin Willman combines the humor of standup comedy with awe-inspiring illusions to pull an amazing show out of his proverbial (and perhaps literal) hat. Willman created and starred in Netflix’s “Magic for Humans,” and partnered with the streamer again for “Magic Lover,” the platform’s first comedy special from a magician, and “Magic Prank Show,” Netflix’s first hidden-camera magic prank series. A veteran of the talk-show and late-night circuit, Willman’s wholesome and hilarious energy makes his magic that much more amazing.
