Couch potatoes and Food Network enthusiasts may recognize Justin Willman from his hosting gig on Cupcake Wars—but some would be surprised to learn that this TV personality is also a professional magician. (Check out his appearance on Ellen for a pretty fantastic trick.) Mixing comedy with magic (and a natural talent for holding an audience), Willman regularly tours the country, playing huge arenas, the back rooms of comic stores, and even the White House, where he received a standing ovation from the President. This week, he headlines a four-night run at the Brea Improv before heading off to Australia in January. Get tickets now before they magically disappear.
