Behind the Scenes of a Historic Comedy Magic Special on Netflix

This past year, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the production team for Justin Willman’s groundbreaking comedy magic special for Netflix, set to premiere in spring 2025. The filming took place at a stunning theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, over two unforgettable nights. Being part of Justin’s magic team is always a source of pride, but this project felt especially meaningful—a true milestone in the world of magic.

Working with the theater crew and Netflix’s production team was an awe-inspiring experience. From coordinating the intricate stage effects to ensuring every camera angle captured the magic and comedy just right, the collaboration was seamless. Over the course of two live shows—on a Thursday and Friday—we created an electrifying atmosphere for the audience. In post-production, these two performances will be carefully blended into one cohesive special, ensuring the best moments shine through.

Beyond the technical brilliance, what stood out most was the camaraderie and shared vision. I developed incredible relationships with the crew, performers, and creatives, all united by the goal of bringing magic to a global platform in a fresh, innovative way. Together, we achieved something truly special—a celebration of magic, laughter, and the art of storytelling.

This experience not only marks a milestone in my journey but also in the broader magic community. It’s a reminder of how magic can evolve, inspire, and connect people worldwide. I’m beyond excited for audiences to witness what we’ve created and to be part of this historic moment for our craft.
