Mágica Para a Humanidade

There are few funny moments (like kids and marshmallows), but magic part is just not good. It is obvious that key parts are taken out, so it looks nothing like skill based magic show, only as a camera/actors reality TV program.

Don't normally review stuff but when a show is being bombarded by people wanting to spoil the fun for others, I feel the need to intervene. Let's be honest, even if this show was staged it is still very much entertaining. It's hard not to smile watching Magic for Humans. As Justin says in his own show: what really matters is not that it's fake, it's how it makes you feel. There is nothing wrong with a little escapism, in this day and age we all need it!

Clearly that is a lie and false advertisement. The guy he made "believe" he was invisible is on youtube...as an actor. I guess this is what extras do during the slow season.

Its magic. Yes, it's a trick. All magic...is a trick. Penn & Teller. David Copperfield. Houdini. This guy. All really good at tricking you. That's the point.

I absolutely adore this show! Justin Willman is a fantastic personality and highly engaging. His tricks are fantastic-- he takes common magic tricks and amps them up in unexpected ways. The show is funny and quirky and right on the edge of being a little too hammy but it has yet to cross the line. The segments are great: he has one recurring bit called "Magic for Susans" where (shocker) he does street magic for a stranger named Susan; a second bit is "Trick Questions" where he performs street magic for a passerby and then afterwards asks them an absurd, unrelated question. It never fails to make me laugh.

The major tricks themselves are also shocking and baffling, I'm always wondering how he accomplished what he did. The show got a lot of flack for being "staged"-- I'm not sure why, perhaps people don't understand what magicians do? It's not "real magic" like Harry Potter but it is real. I think the second season takes more steps to make that clear by using longer, seamless shots (and also there is an episode where he just flat out says, it's not staged).

The second season themes dipped a bit, but I still loved it. It's a great show for all ages and the perfect length for someone that just wants a quick laugh. If you like watching magic, you'll love this show.
