Top notch episode," Craig Ferguson says. Willman is best known for hosting and executive producing the Netflix series Magic for Humans — showcasing a diverse array of tricks, from mind-bending mentalism to classic sleight of hand. His new Netflix series, The Magic Prank Show premiered April 1st (April Fool’s Day). It’s a mix of MythBusters, meets Impractical Jokers, meets Black Mirror. Along with his new series, Justin will be going on a 100 city theater tour starting this June with Outback Presents. Tickets available here. EnJOY!
