Magician Wins Star Search Talent Competition on Netflix
Netflix has brought back the iconic talent competition Star Search with a modern twist, launching a live, nine-episode reboot of the classic 1980s series. The show set out to discover standout performers across multiple disciplines, including singers, dancers, comedians, and magicians, all competing for the top prize.
After four weeks of live performances, celebrity judging, and nationwide fan voting, the competition came down to a dramatic finale — with the winner decided entirely by viewers at home. The judging panel featured an all-star lineup including Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen, with Anthony Anderson serving as host.
The final vote came down to four impressive finalists: Harry Merlin Piper, Duo Vespertilio, Spud Howard, and Las Vegas magician TJ Salta. In the end, it was Salta who captured the championship — and the $500,000 grand prize.
Salta is known for blending street-style performance with real-time mind reading, creating a fast-paced and modern approach to magic that clearly resonated with audiences at home.
“I was shocked, and I was grateful,” Salta shared in an interview with Tudum. “I want to ride this wave and give people the magic they want. I'm ready to give the world a magic experience. That's my dream. I'm using this win as a first step in that.”
Spoiler alert for those who haven’t watched yet: all episodes are available to stream from the beginning, allowing viewers to experience the full journey of the competition.
With strong viewer engagement and a wide range of talent showcased throughout the season, fans are already asking the big question — will Star Search return for Season 2? Netflix has not yet made an official announcement.

Ghost Wand by Barry Mitchell
Ghost wand is the only wand made from the world‘s largest ghost tube. It stands 13 inches tall and 6 inches in diameter. It will hold up to 3012 inch silks. But wait there’s more! We waved our big wand and created some big ideas for routines with silks, SpongeBob, balls, mouth, coils, spring bills, and more. You receive ghost tube wand, small wand, protective cloth, bag, and DVD of performance ideas. We especially love our SpongeBob production idea with 32 inch. SpongeBob’s appear from the tube. It’s ghostly amazing!
