Naathan Phan (born August 20, 1988) is an Asian-American magician, actor, comedian, singer, and internet personality. Although he was born in Irvine, CA, at the age of one, he moved to Scotland with his family and lived there until 2000 while somehow simultaneously attending Taft elementary school in Southern California. His YouTube clips have been featured on Tosh.0. As a magician, he was featured on America's Got Talent, Estrella TV's Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento, The Hollywood Christmas Parade, Syfy's Wizard Wars (S01E06: Birds of a Feather), where he and his partner won and took home the $10,000 prize, Masters of Illusion, and Penn and Teller: Fool Us. As an actor, he had a small role as a party-going teenager[1][2] in the 2007 comedy film Superbad, a driver's ed student in Reno 911!, and numerous stage productions throughout Southern California.[3]

In April 2007, Naathan Phan joined the national tour of Jonathan Larson's rock musical "Rent".[4] for one performance at the Orange County Performing Arts Center (now Segerstrom Center for the Arts). He landed the part by winning an OCPAC karaoke contest to see who made the best video of them singing a "Rent" song. He also starred as the host, one of the judges, and several "contestants" in the un-aired pilot for the TV show "Stand-Up Stand-Off."

He graduated from Orange County High School of the Arts and earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 2006, became a member of the Screen Actor's Guild in 2007, and joined the Academy of Magical Arts, Inc (also known as The Magic Castle) in 2012.
