2021 SUMMIT KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Justin Willman | Entertainer, Entrepreneur, Comedian
Wednesday, July 21, 3PM CST
Star and creator of the hit Netflix original series Magic for Humans, Justin Willman brings his experience as an entertainer, entrepreneur, and comedian to the screen while using his skills as a magician to examine what unites us and makes us all...well, human...he does this while incorporating his disarming demeanor into street magic and social experiments that will boggle the mind. One of the most streamed shows on Netflix with clips garnering over 150 million views to date across social media, Magic for Humans doesn't disappoint.
The L.A. Times exclaimed that Willman is, "A new breed of magician who's making magic cool again for grown-ups." Time Out hailed that his show, "Has to be seen to be disbelieved.”
In an entrepreneurial pivot in March 2020 as Covid spread across the globe, Willman debuted MAGIC FOR HUMANS @HOME, a virtual paid zoom show, which has since garnered an audience of over 500,000 people from around the world watching from the comfort of their living rooms. His goal was to take everything fans love about his Netflix show and pack it into a hilarious hour of mind-blowing magic and mind-reading. The show features magic interaction with viewers and families throughout the show.
He's a regular guest on The Tonight Show, Ellen and Conan. And one time, he performed at the White House for the Obama family. Justin was born in St. Louis, lives in Los Angeles, and does not own a rabbit.
