?‘Cupcake Wars’ host and magician coming to the Comedy Attic

Justin Willman, magician, actor, comedian and TV personality, is coming to the Comedy Attic at 8 p.m. tonight for a three-day run of shows.

Partially made famous by his involvement with the Food Network, Willman works as a TV host for three of the Network’s shows: “Cupcake Wars,” “Cupcake Champions” and “Halloween Wars.”

A regular guest on “The Tonight Show,” “Ellen” and “Chelsea Lately,” Willman also hosts “Win, Lose or Draw,” a game show on the Disney Channel.

Willman initially dabbled in magic at age 12 when he started playing with cards as physical therapy after injuring both his arms in a bike accident, according to an article written by Alex Murrey on IMDb.

He credits his first official steps in the entertainment industry to a magic show he put together for his sister’s fifth birthday.

He is currently touring nationwide on his “Tricked Out Tour,” a live, one-man comedy and magic show.

Willman will perform five times this weekend, with one show taking place tonight and two Friday and Saturday nights at 8:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Ticket prices range from $12 to $16.
