Similar to the participants, viewers will be puzzled seeing the magic unfold in front of them because they've never seen reality bent so well and question how something so extraordinary can even come about. After all, longtime fans of Justin Willman have been scratching their heads trying to figure out the science behind what he does. Some are even so impressed, they question reality.
"Personally I enjoyed [Magic for Humans] a lot! There were a few moments that made me question the authenticity of the effect, however it was overall super entertaining," one Reddit comment read. "I do believe his claims that the effects are genuine. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh."
Fortunately, Netflix subscribers will have the opportunity to check Justin Willman out for themselves and formulate their own opinions as to whether they think his magic is too advanced for the regular eye to comprehend.
Or perhaps viewers don't care to learn how Willman does his tricks and instead just want to watch people get pranked. Both reasons are perfectly fine! Just don't forget to head to Netflix on Monday, April 1, to stream every episode of The Magic Prank Show.
