Combining street magic and magical social experiments, good-natured magician, comedian and television host Justin Willman returns to Netflix with Magic for Humans. The newest third season features seven episodes. In the series, Willman, who spent his life mastering the art of magic, seeks to "use magic to master the art of being human." He claims that the tricks and illusions shown in the series are not enhanced by camera or editing tricks. It’s safe to say that Justin Willman has pulled it off again with another enjoyable series of tricks. This new season keeps the magician on the map for further seasons. There's always been fascination with magicians; the ones who do the usual routine magic tricks with cards and flowers and those that apply showmanship to the audience, which is half of the magic. Justin Willman is the latter; the magic does not really matter, it’s the person he is performing for. With remnants of Derren Brown, the key ingredient to Willman’s work is showmanship and suggestion. In the opening episode, Justin Willman makes his point literally with social media influencers by inadvertently influencing them. He is not meant to provoke or veer on the side of controversy; his acts of magic are rooted with kindness and understanding and that’s why, the Netflix series works rather well. The magician enjoys people more than the product which he’s offering; he makes the experience enjoyable rather than nerve-racking but the skills are equally as impressive. This season shows consistency and variety in his work, which signifies why the showman has managed to secure himself a third season.
