  Justin Willman: Illusionati Tour 12/7/24 New Orleans , LA The Joy Theater

     Justin Willman's ILLUSIONATI tour is an interactive evening of magic, comedy and mind-control for the whole family. Prepare to join a secret society of wonder where the only conspiracy theories are about how the hell he does these things. ABOUT JUSTIN: Justin Willman wants to melt your brain while making you laugh. He's best known as the star and creator of the hit Netflix series Magic For Humans and The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman. But you may recognize him from one of his many television appearances (The Tonight Show, The Today Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Conan...). Or maybe you know his work as a host (Baking Impossible; Cupcake Wars; Win, Lose or Draw...). Or maybe he's the child magician you hired in suburban St. Louis in the '90s. If you don't know Justin, he's a magician and comedian who's mastered the art of turning cynics into believers (or at least getting them to laugh). Justin is also a proud father, a loving husband, and has zero experience as a licensed boat mechanic (that's a different Justin Willman). VIP PACKAGE: The VIP package features an exclusive post-show meet and greet, signed poster, souvenir lanyard, and photos with Justin. (less) ... Read more
