Justin Willman, the magician and comedian behind Netflix's Magic for Humans, will premiere his first magic comedy special, Magic Lover, on the streaming platform on June 17.
Filmed live from the Fitzgerald Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota, Magic Lover sees Willman offer fresh perspectives on parenting, inflation, screen time, and finding order in life's chaos, amidst tricks and gimmicks.
The special is executive produced by Willman, Daniel Kinno, Alex Murray, Stuart MacLeod, Adam Franklin, Brian Volk-Weiss, Cisco Henson, and Davina Dobrovech.
A Critics Choice Award nominee with a solid track record at Netflix, Willman has quickly become one of the most prolific magicians of his generation. In 2024, he premiered Netflix's Magic Prank Show, a viral hit in which he and his team helped real people perform elaborate pranks with a touch of magic. Prior to that, he created and starred in Netflix's hit magic series Magic for Humans, where he brought his signature style to street magic, social experiments, and some of America's weirdest and most wonderful subcultures. Magic for Humans became one of Netflix's most-watched series upon its release, with clips amassing over 150 million social media views and inspiring a wave of viral memes. All three seasons are currently available for streaming.
Willman's television appearances include The Tonight Show, Today, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Conan, and a live performance for the Obama family at the White House. He is also an experienced host, having directed series such as Baking Impossible, Cupcake Wars, and Win, Lose or Draw.
Currently touring the country with his live theater show Illusionati—an evening of distraction, mind games, and laughter—which will continue through 2025, Willman is represented by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
