Justin Willman

Justin Willman brings his magic to the State Theatre on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 7 PM. If you've seen him on Netflix, you've got the gist: he's a magician and comedian from St. Louis who mixes sleight-of-hand illusions with stand-up comedy. The two halves don't really run in parallel; they lean into each other, with the jokes punctuating the tricks and the tricks giving the comedy something to land on.

This tour is called One for the Ages, and it's billed as his biggest one yet, built around brand-new material. That means you're not just seeing a collection of his old hits—the set is fresh, and the tricks are new. It's a good night to bring along people who've never seen him before, since you'll all be seeing the same new stuff for the first time.

Willman's a familiar face for a few different reasons. He's the creator and star of the Netflix series Magic for Humans and The Magic Prank Show with Justin Willman, and he's coming off the release of Magic Lover, Netflix's first magic comedy special. Beyond his own shows, he's written and consulted for America's Got Talent and The Goldbergs, and he's appeared on The Tonight Show, The Today Show, Ellen, and Conan. He's also spent time behind the hosting desk for Cupcake Wars, Halloween Wars, Baking Impossible, and Win, Lose or Draw. The Magic Castle named him Stage Magician of the Year, and he's performed at the White House.

The show is recommended for ages 8 and up, so it's one of those nights that works as a date or as something to do with the kids. It's at the State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403, starting at 7 PM on Thursday, November 5.
