Magic for Humans

Justin performs magic for unsuspecting passers-by on the street and in ordinary surroundings, and adds a modern take on some classic magic tricks. There are 3 seasons of Magic for Humans available to stream on Netflix here.

The Magic Prank Show
Another series with Justin Willman and the team behind “Magic for Humans”.
In this show, Justin and his team design elaborate pranks to help people get payback on people they know (in a fun way!)
You can stream The Magic Prank Show here.
Magic Lover: Justin Willman
One final show from Justin Willman – this one’s a live theatre show filmed especially for Netflix.
I loved this show. Justin is a great live performer – funny, charismatic and brilliant magic. Definitely worth a watch if you’re a fan of his other stuff.
Stream Magic Lover on Netflix here.
Death By Magic
As the title suggests, in this 8-part series British magician Drummond Money-Coutts looks into magic tricks and stunts that killed the people who tried to perform them. After researching what went wrong, he goes on to recreate the stunts himself!
Watch Death by Magic on Netflix here.
Derren Brown: The Push
Originally aired on Channel 4, “The Push” is one of Derren’s hour-long experiments, where he uses a mix of psychology, influence and trickery to get people to do unbelievable things.
Can Derren influence somebody to do the unimaginable and commit murder by pushing someone off a building? Find out by watching The Push here.
Derren Brown: Sacrifice
Like “The Push”, this is another show in the series of Derren’s psychological experiments.
Can Derren convince someone to take a bullet for a stranger?
Watch Derren Brown’s “Sacrifice” on Netflix here.
Bonus: Now You See Me
OK, this one’s not a TV magic show, but fans of magic will enjoy it. It’s a blockbuster film about a fictional group of magicians who use their skills to pull of bank heists.
The film features an all-star cast including Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson and Isla Fisher.
Watch Now You See Me on Netflix UK.
Magic Shows on Amazon Prime
The Zabrecky Hour
Rob Zabrecky is one of my favourite magicians. Combining brilliant magic and mentalism with dark comedy and a truly unique character, there’s nobody else quite like him. I was delighted when his full one man show “The Zabrecky Hour” became available recently on Amazon prime in the UK. It’s a full one hour theatre show and definitely worth your time to watch.
Watch The Zabrecky Hour on Amazon Prime here
Underground Magic
Underground Magic is an 8-part series filmed in a small theatre in New York City. Each episode is features 3 magicians doing a short set, hosted by Todd Robbins. There are some great acts including Blake Vogt, Joshua Jay and Eric Jones. A real variety of magic in a live setting. at the time of writing I’m half-way through and loving it.
Watch Underground Magic on Amazon Prime UK here
Magic Shows on Disney+
Beyond Magic with DMC
Drummond Money-Coutts (AKA DMC) was already mentioned earlier with his “Death By Magic” series on Netflix.
If you’ve got a Disney+ subscription, you can also watch DMC’s series “Beyond Magic”. In this show he explores the world of sorcery and witchcraft, among the oldest forms of magic.
Watch Beyond Magic with DMC on Disney+ here.
In & Of Itself
If you watch just one magic show, this is the one I’d recommend.
A film version of Derek Delgaudio’s off-Broadway theatre show, Delgaudio combines mind-blowing magic and brilliant story-telling to explore the illusion of our own identities. It really is superb, go watch it now!
Watch In and Of Itself on Disney+ here.
Magic Shows on Sky and Now TV

David Blaine: Real or Magic?
Another one of Blaine’s, Real or Magic features a mix of close-up magic and extreme stunts. His celebrity guests end up questioning which bits are real and what’s magic.

Dynamo is Dead
In this hour long special, Stephen Frayne ”kills off” his alter-ego, Dynamo.
The show features a bunch of great magic along with Stephen Frayne AKA Dynamo talking about mental health issues with celebrities.
For the finale, he buries himself alive and attempts to escape.
Magic on Channel 4 on Demand
There are a whole host of Channel 4 original magic shows available via 4 on Demand. Some are starting to look a little dated, but they’re still a great watch (and full of nostalgia for me!)
Derren Brown: Original TV Series
Derren first graced our TV screens in “Mind Control” back in 2000. This was followed by “Trick of The Mind” and Trick or Treat” in later years. Most of these are still available to watch on Channel 4’s On Demand service via the links below.
Derren Brown: Trick of The Mind
Derren Brown: The Specials
Two of Derren’s TV Specials “The Push” and “Sacrifice” are now on Netflix as we’ve seen already.
There are several more in this genre – you can watch the rest of Derren’s specials on Channel 4 here.
Derren Brown: The Stage Shows
Is there no end to this man’s talent? Apparently not – No fewer than 7 of Derren’s stage shows are available to watch on Channel 4.
There’s a playlist featuring 6 of Derren’s stage shows here – and his latest excellent offering “Showman” is available here.
Barry and Stuart
Barry Jones and Stuart Mcleod are possibly my favourite magic duo – sadly they don’t perform together any more (Stuart is now involved with Magic for Humans on Netflix, mentioned above.)
Two of their magic specials are still available on Channel 4 on Demand. Both shows feature them recreating “miracles” apparently performed in the Bible and by Jesus. They’re brilliant, go watch them!
I couldn’t find a trailer for this, so here’s a clip of Barry and Stuart walking on water
Dirty Tricks
Hosted by Barry and Stuart and featuring guests including Ali Cook, Pete Firman and Penn & Teller, this series first aired in 2005 and was described as “magic meets Natural Born Killers”. Make your own mind up by watching it here.

Dynamo: Magician Impossible
Dynamo’s latest special was mentioned above and is available on Sky and Now TV.

Other Magic to watch online
