## Synopsis

Magic for Humans (2018-2020) is an American Netflix reality comedy created by Justin Willman, who hosts and performs in every episode. Willman, a magician with a dry, good-natured wit, roams city streets baffling passersby with close-up sleight of hand and then tracks the reactions of people who never expected to be fooled. Each short episode of roughly twenty-five minutes builds around a single trick or a larger orchestrated stunt, sometimes involving school kids and friends who are drawn into the joke. The show runs three seasons and nineteen episodes, following a loose, episodic format with no continuing story. Its tone is breezy, warm and playful, with grown-up humor layered over the wonder of illusion. Fans of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Impractical Jokers and Nathan For You will find a similar mix of playful public pranks, host charm and affectionate comedy. The result is light, easy viewing that suits a relaxed evening and anyone who enjoys watching clever tricks land on real people.
