Breaking Rules

Maverick creator Justin Flom has amassed billions of views (about 1.5 billion a month), yet he did not start as an internet star, but  rather a lineage of magicians. You’ve almost certainly seen a Justin Flom video and don’t even know it, because Flom vanishes into his videos making him almost anonymous, while breaking trends, algorithms and even the magician's #1 rule.

If you saw Justin Flom pre-2020 it was likely on tour or on television blowing the minds of a celebrity or late night host with a magic trick, but Justin pivoted to the even more deceptive world of social media with undeniable success. He’s magically appeared without any sleight of hand at the top of YouTube’s and Tiktok’s charts, Facebook’s newsfeeds, and has been hired by brands to create videos that “hack the algorithm.”  

Fun House

Most know him now as a spray paint artist with the “Trap-Door-House'' that has become a recurring character in his videos, full of secret passageways, cartoon paintings, and pranks around every corner  Every room has a dozen tricks up its sleeve including a moving bookcase, a tunnel of doors leading to a secret Nerf Gun and Super Soaker Room, a special setup that allows him to leap from his 2nd-story balcony and float to the ground. But, watch out for the trap door that will drop you into a hidden foam pit (which can also be accessed through a miniature Alice in Wonderland door). This abode is not just a home; it's an adventure, a physical manifestation of Justin's creative spirit and his ability to transform ordinary spaces into realms of fantasy and fun.  “I’m just a kid magician with grown up money,” Flom laughs.

Magical Art

Even with the astronomical views (last year his painting of Iron Man was the #2 most watched TikTok worldwide),  Flom is an enigmatic creator often saying things like, “No one knows who I am. It’s the videos they remember.” Flom rarely introduces himself on camera instead opting for unique opening shots; camera shots he calls “swipe stoppers”. Flom harnesses his power as a former magician and builds mystery into the video concepts to be revealed at the end  like a secret to a magic trick - and in fact, Flom has been kicked out of several magic organizations for revealing magic trick secrets to billions of viewers.

From stage to internet

When asked how he “manipulates algorithms” with his magic mojo he answers, “I don’t. The algo manipulates me.” Flom considers himself a data analyst more than a creator, as backend data from social media platforms drives what to create next, and not the other way around. Ultimately, his success lies in his ability to align his creations with the preferences of the internet, embodying the adage that it’s not about what he likes, but what the internet likes.

He moved from the screen to the page authoring two books on magic for children, one titled “Everyday Magic” and another book on his life called "Adventures of A Kid Magician."

In 2019 Justin was a finalist on CBS’ World’s Best which aired after the Super Bowl. He garnered huge praise from Drew Barrymore, Faith Hill, Ru Paul and James Corden (who later featured his magic on the Late Late Show). NHL partnered with Justin to create 40 episodes of magic for the top NHL players to watch this year. His magic can now be seen in hockey arenas doing games across North America. Each episode on “Hockey Is Magic” featured an original trick devised by Justin specific to each player per league requests. Comedy Central in the UK flew Justin to England to shoot a hidden camera magic special and he came home with the winning prank. That year he also shared magic for the Detroit Tigers and their stadium of fans, opened a Nashville residency to critical acclaim and rang in the new year with magic on Fox News’ live broadcast.
