American magician
Band of Magicians is a touring illusion show featuring a group of magicians billed as "The World’s First Magic Supergroup". The original group featured magicians James Galea, Justin Flom, Justin Willman, and Nate Staniforth. The current group includes James Galea, Stuart MacLeod, Brett Loudermilk, and Joel Ward. 
The group is unique because magicians traditionally perform as solo or duo acts, and sometimes with assistants who rarely share top-billing. Other touring shows featuring multiple magicians, such as "The Illusionists" and "The Supernaturalists", feature an assortment of solo acts with performers rarely sharing the stage at the same time. The Band of Magicians was conceived as a way to perform illusions that individual performers couldn't get away with alone. Galea has said, "What we've done with this is create brand-new illusions for the show that could not be done by anyone else. Simply for the fact that it takes four professional magicians to be able to misdirect the audience and do the magic. It's not possible for one magician to do with three assistants. You need magicians to pull them off."
History.
