Jelly Roll Shares Magic Show Surprise

Clear Facts
- Jelly Roll served as a judge at Netflix’s “Star Search” series finale where magician TJ Salta won the $500,000 prize.
- Jelly Roll admitted he has always been uneasy around magicians, describing magic as something that “makes his skin crawl.”
- Despite his discomfort, Jelly Roll said he would buy tickets to see TJ Salta perform again after witnessing his talent during the show.
Country star Jelly Roll opened up about his feelings on magic after the “Star Search” finale, noting that he was never comfortable around magicians.
“Listen, I did not like magic at the beginning of this thing,” Jelly Roll said before saying his opinion changed after seeing the finalists perform.
“I mean, I don’t know if afraid is the right word as much as just creeped out. Just creepy. You know, just weird. And that still makes my skin crawl, but I’d buy tickets,” Jelly Roll said.
TJ Salta took home the top prize, saying he felt shock and gratitude as his family watched on.
“Oh my gosh. It was a lot of shock. But just, again, being here from the first week, it was a mental, physical, and spiritual battle and journey,” Salta said.
“You see all of the work, from all of these artists tonight, all of the talent. You don’t see how much goes on, and just getting to finally get the love and the results for that was just, yeah, dream come true,” Salta said.
Other judges for the season were Sarah Michelle Gellar and Chrissy Teigen, with Anthony Anderson as host. Performers Harry Merlin Piper, Duo Vespertilio, Spud Howard, and Salta reached the finale.
