The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman

The score for this is incredibly low. I loved watching this and hope we get another season. I absorb a lot of content and forget about it almost immediately, but this show lives in my head rent free still after watching it over a year ago. A lot of fantastic pranks and magic tricks. It's also really funny. It's a crime we don't have another season at least announced. I was disappointed seeing Justin is on some baking show now. I'm sure it's a good show, but his talents are wasted there. Hopefully his special on Netflix reignites interest in the prank show. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch.

Its 2024 we don't need that horrible editing and commentary style anymore. People have thankfully moved on. The viewer is not a fish brained dumbass. Horrible Acting. Unsuccessfully trying to be funny. Is this supposed to be for toddlers? The average fake youtube prank would give you a better prank experience. Horrible Pacing. Had me pissed off enough to create an imdb account in order to leave this review. I don't even like writing reviews. What a waste of resources. Barely any magic, barely any pranks. Just a bunch of people trying to be funny. Name it the Magic Garbage Show. I cannot overstate how bad it is. Save yourself the time.

Let me start to say im the target audiance for this i love magic ever since im little i love magic shows and tv shows on magic and i really love pranks

so how on earth did i not love this show ?

From the first "magic" that they do you could spot that the siblings are in om this and their "surprised" acting is terrible.

No camera and TV crew would waste days of shooting days of hiring directors, makeup artists locations, all of that dozens of peoples work if there is a chance that the "pranked" person wouldnt agree to publish him getting scared.

They had to be part of this or the production couldnt actually do it.

As i assume some people would said they dont want to be on the show as the pranked.

And production wouldnt take the risk.

You could clearly see by their horrible acting of the first people the fake drama.

And it only gets worse from there.

They show and talk on magic as if its 1990 and people still are golable or dont know how things are made.

They could have addressed it so much better as there is a ton of wasted potential.

They could have shown them building the "magic tricks" testing them out a bit like "myth busters" and explain how they want it to work

they could have give more time to planing the retrebution pranks.

And skip the fake spoof.

Just do it as the profuction comes to the brother and sister and tells them we are going todo prank on yoi you just dont know when and how.

I closed it at episode 1.5 and its too bad as im the target audiance for this.

My wife and I have been going through this show and have been very surprised by how much we're enjoying it!

The cast is full of great characters, the magic is...magical, and the pranks are pretty incredible.

I read that some people feel like this is all fake, and the show doesn't come off like that at all. This is the magician that convinced the guy he was invisible and that prank was replicated by people all over the internet because it works.

There are moments where they use hired actors to pull off some of the pranks and those people for sure come off as acting. But the responses from the people they're pranking feel very genuine. Mostly they're shocked and in disbelief not really knowing what in the world to say because what's happening to them is ridiculous.

So if you like the idea of elaborate pranks pulled off like a heist with some great characters to follow and genuinely funny bits....the refrigerator is one of my favorites...then you'll have a great time with the show!

I will never understand why it is legal to sell this type of media.

If it is so heavily scripted, then why pretend its real in the first place?

Cause otherwise people would not be interested in the slightest.

I think shows that try to sell themselves as "unscripted" should be regulated.

Otherwise they manipulate its viewers in to thinking the show is real.

If they where just honest, and made it clear it was all just "a show", then they have to compete against real TV shows, with far more money, far better writing, and far better actors.

Obviously they don't do that, cause they would be irrelevant.
