The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman

I will never understand why it is legal to sell this type of media.

If it is so heavily scripted, then why pretend its real in the first place?

Cause otherwise people would not be interested in the slightest.

I think shows that try to sell themselves as "unscripted" should be regulated.

Otherwise they manipulate its viewers in to thinking the show is real.

If they where just honest, and made it clear it was all just "a show", then they have to compete against real TV shows, with far more money, far better writing, and far better actors.

Obviously they don't do that, cause they would be irrelevant.

Let me start to say im the target audiance for this i love magic ever since im little i love magic shows and tv shows on magic and i really love pranks

so how on earth did i not love this show ?

From the first "magic" that they do you could spot that the siblings are in om this and their "surprised" acting is terrible.

No camera and TV crew would waste days of shooting days of hiring directors, makeup artists locations, all of that dozens of peoples work if there is a chance that the "pranked" person wouldnt agree to publish him getting scared.

They had to be part of this or the production couldnt actually do it.

As i assume some people would said they dont want to be on the show as the pranked.

And production wouldnt take the risk.

You could clearly see by their horrible acting of the first people the fake drama.

And it only gets worse from there.

They show and talk on magic as if its 1990 and people still are golable or dont know how things are made.

They could have addressed it so much better as there is a ton of wasted potential.

They could have shown them building the "magic tricks" testing them out a bit like "myth busters" and explain how they want it to work

they could have give more time to planing the retrebution pranks.

And skip the fake spoof.

Just do it as the profuction comes to the brother and sister and tells them we are going todo prank on yoi you just dont know when and how.

I closed it at episode 1.5 and its too bad as im the target audiance for this.

I'm really impressed by how much fake this show is. They can't do even simple tricks without video editing.

There is one place where card disappears and wrist watch appears - I stopped the exact frame to see if it is fake or he's actually really quick with the hands.

You know, at least he can do that.

And... guess what? It was fake.

Guys, seriously, this trick should be easy for any actual magician without wonders of special effects.

The worst episode was the last one with hypnosis. Not a spoiler, they say it in the first minute. The episode was filled with such a bad acting, lame screenwriting and it was unbelievable how they expected us to believe that everything they show us is legitimate.

Personally felt insulted.

It was the cringiest thing I have watched in years and I watch at least one reality show per week. I give The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman two stars instead of one, because few times it made laugh with stupid jokes. I love those.

Its 2024 we don't need that horrible editing and commentary style anymore. People have thankfully moved on. The viewer is not a fish brained dumbass. Horrible Acting. Unsuccessfully trying to be funny. Is this supposed to be for toddlers? The average fake youtube prank would give you a better prank experience. Horrible Pacing. Had me pissed off enough to create an imdb account in order to leave this review. I don't even like writing reviews. What a waste of resources. Barely any magic, barely any pranks. Just a bunch of people trying to be funny. Name it the Magic Garbage Show. I cannot overstate how bad it is. Save yourself the time.

As a person who really loved Magic for Humans and who has met Justin Willman, this show is really weak. A few of the people in the show are a friend of mine and was excited when I saw the teaser for the show back in November. I have watched the show and it's very funny it keeps you on the edge of your seat I want the final prank is going to be but fails. The magic I do believe is real and I believe the reactions are real. But this is a reality show so you can't trust everything, as I think through the magic of editing the magic seems realer than probably what it is in person and I think the reactions are built for TV. Justin, Kyle, and Blake, a really really good magicians who have Creative Minds so their heart and their tricks are in the show but it fails to get the point across.
