Magic For Humans Spain
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
MAGIC FOR HUMANS SPAIN, a Spanish adaptation of the Netflix series Magic For Humans, features magic performed by Spanish illusionist Antonio Diaz -- also known as El Mago Pop. From transforming a piece of sushi into a living, swimming goldfish, to making a Porsche appear out of nowhere, Diaz goes around Barcelona performing magic tricks to random people to test their perceptions of reality.
Is It Any Good?
This lighthearted spin-off features El Mago Pop performing a range of illusions designed to both fascinate and keep people wondering how they are done. Antonio Diaz's dry humor, albeit more funny in Spanish than in the English subtitles, offers a entertaining edge. The expressions of the unsuspecting people on the street he performs to are also amusing.
Like the original series, the producers insist that the illusions featured on the show are performed without any camera tricks or staged reactions. But what Diaz does in Magic For Humans Spain will have you wondering how he is able to misdirect people enough to perform large-scale tricks. If you like magic with a touch of humor, it's a fun show to tune in to.

Families can talk about magic. How do illusionists trick people into thinking that what they're seeing is real?
Do illusionists from different countries have different styles of performing the same tricks? Is there a difference between how illusions are performed in Magic For Humans Spain and Magic For Humans?
