The Carbonaro Effect

Me and my grandmother watch it all the time it is one of our favorite shows. No swearing (just beeps), nothing sexual, no blood and gore, just nothing but good laughs, surprises and things that make you wonder.

Yes the camera doesn't show u the part where he swaps what he's holding for the identical object but one with modifications from under the counter he's standing in front of. But why the @#$% would they? That would ruin the trick? What don't you people understand.

And the reason u don't see the inner workings of the tricks... is because the people he's fooling don't see it either. So it helps immerse you in the experience.

And no they marks not paid actors, they are real people thinking they are signing up for a job or class, or etc., etc. The type of person who thinks the marks are paid actors are the types of people who whine and complain that the Superbowl is fixed. You can't have that many people keep that big a secret u conspiracy theory dumbies.

So do like me and my grandma do and enjoy the darn show :D

The purpose of this show is to entertain and if you go in with that in mind, you WILL be entertained. To those who complain that it is fake, well DUH, it is. It is fun watching people being flabbergasted in these little vignettes, if you actually are expecting 'real' magic, then just remove the series and move on to something more to your taste.

I DO have one complaint. Some of the shows are duplicates with different titles, but the descriptions are the same, as is the content. Hmm, perhaps it's magic!

Michael is very creative, a great magician, a wonderful entertainer, a bulls**** artist Extraordinaire ( in a good way) and his unsuspecting victims always add to the festivities. As a diehard animal lover, I particularly enjoy the way he often integrates them into his magic. He's smooth, smart also not bad to look at.

When I first saw the show its just looks like any other magic TV show. But the people who have done the negative reviews on this show should research it Before writing a review.

I found out that he finds people who need work and then He does magic tricks on them. They are people who see the trick fail, but they have to pay them money any, then there are people who got fooled by the trick but don't want to be on TV but still get paid, the last people get the biggest sums of money are the people who get tricked and say it's okay to be put on TV.

Some of his tricks are really clever which makes you wonder how he did it, others you notice at once and wonder how people fall for it. I just love seeing how the react to the trick. What people are most skeptical about are the zoom in on the victim. They usually do that so you can't see them make a switch while the person is distracted to keep it a mistake. The only reason I don't give it a 10/10 is because they sometimes but this is rare, they do tricks so obvious that it makes you wonder how people could fall for it. Give it a try you might just like it.

Great magic tricks. The explanations & how he (Michael) says things are so hilarious!!! Love watching the 'victims' facial expressions too. Thanks to all who came up with this. Getting pretty rare finding a good show to watch. Laugh your stress away.....Check this show out. I just watched all the episodes on my cable On Demand. I sure hope I will be able to get/find more. I know I would react the same way as the others which scares me because Michael says some real bizarre things as to what they have just witness. His shoe laces "remembered" how to tie themselves! He lifts his foot up and starts rolling it in a circle. As he is doing this we are seeing his shoe being tied, by itself. Feel so much better after watching programs that cause me to laugh, a lot.
