All language subtitles for The Carbonaro Effect s04e00 100th episode special

and welcome to a very special edition of
The Carbonaro Effect. This is our 100th

episode.

Yes!

To celebrate this milestone, we are
bringing you an insider's look at the

and mayhem that go into making our
little hidden camera magic show. We've

never -before -seen footage, and later
on, we're going to reveal a brand new

trick that pays tribute to our fans.

And I've also got some special guests to
join us on our walk down memory lane,

which starts now.

Introducing... Come on.

I've never seen anything like it.

The Carbonara Effect is all about
believing. My job is to get people to

in the unbelievable.

And over the past five years, I have
tricked a lot of people into believing a

lot of crazy things.

Jesus!

Your daughter disappeared, and now she's
a chicken.

Did you just train someone's dog?

That's ghost stuff, bro.

That's ghostly.

Okay, now the show may leave you with
the impression that we fool everybody on

every trick we attempt.

Boy, I wish that was true, but it's not
exactly.

This past season, I successfully tricked
this dude Samuel here into believing

that an ice hockey player got frozen
underneath the ice.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, my God.

He's under the ice.

Fortunately, I launched a rescue mission
using a Zamboni. Here we go. Here we

go. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Eric. Oh, my.

Well, before him, there was Genevieve,
who seemed to believe the first part of

the trick.

That's it?

I've never seen anything like that. I've
never seen anything like that either.

Oh, no.

What the heck is going on? It's
literally under like a layer of ice. How

that happen?

But she never quite warmed up to the
illusion of the frozen hockey player.

normally, I like to keep BSing to see if
I could win them over, but I could tell

that Genevieve was just not having it.

This is going to be the one. This is the
one that everyone's going to love. So

get ready here. Three, two, one, shoot.

Good. Whoa.

Aaron?

He's gone. He's disappeared.

What the heck is going on?

Aaron?

What is happening?

In fact, take a look here. I'm talking
to the producers through a secret

earpiece, and we're debating whether or
not we should even go through with this

trick. Hold on a minute here.

Just climb up and go for it.

Are you sure?

Yeah, go ahead and chop him up. Is this
worth it?

Okay, I'm going to chop it up.

To get him up. I'm going to chop it up
to get him up. Go for it.

Am I?

Are you sure, guys? Michael, don't do
it. Yeah. Don't do it. Okay.

Just reveal to her. No. Are you buying
this at all?

Not at all. Oh, well, wasn't that fun?

I'm sorry. It was so well done, though.
Oh, thanks. That was absolutely amazing.

I'm Michael.

Oh, cool.

I had you at the light meter.

Yeah, you did. I was like, what the
hell? I was like, that makes no sense.

What had you? That's so cool. You were
like this the other way. How did you

do this?

I literally was staring at it. Oh, my
God. That was so much fun.

You're amazing.

You're amazing. What is this? What is
actually happening? There's a TV show

called The Carbonaro. No.

Hey, what's the Carbonaro effect? I'm
Michael Carbonaro. I'm Michael

How are you going to be?

Nice to meet you.

I'm a magician.

That was incredible.

That was so cool.

So you don't know how it happened. I
bought it for like three seconds. Three

seconds. When I came out and I saw him,
I was like, what the?

And then that was. No way. And then I
was like, no.

No way he's underneath the ice.

Oh, man. That was so fun, though. No,
that was so much fun. Thank you, bro.

Okay. Now, in rare cases, it's actually
easier to get someone to believe in the

trick than it is to convince them that
they're on something called the

effect. Like Anna here.

She had no trouble believing that she
returned a TV antenna with a huge bat

inside. This happens on these routers.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Okay.

I'm sorry about that. But when it came
to telling her she was on a show, look

what happened.

It's called the Carbonaro Effect.

Uh -huh.

You heard of that before, the Carbonaro
Effect? I don't know if I've known

that's what it's called.

Oh, yeah, yeah. The Carbonaro Effect's
also the name of a hidden camera magic

show. Okay.

That you are on right now. Oh, yeah?
Yes.

Wow. What's your name?

Anna. Anna, what if I told you I was a
magician and that I just made that

happen, that there was no bat in there,
but that was a magic trick? No, you did

not. I don't know if I believe you. You
don't believe me? Does that have a

microphone right here?

I have no idea what's going on. I don't
know what's crazy or bad. I have no

idea. This makes a little bit more
sense.

Okay. We'll go with that. Let me get you
your money back.

Okay. From people who don't believe the
trick to people who don't believe

they're on a show to people who are on
the show who don't believe that the

people on the show, go with me here, are
real people.

Allow me to illustrate.

Stephanie. She witnessed me cook a
delicious corn dog in my pedicure foot

And what followed was the most surreal
conversation I have ever had in my life.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

They'll think it's like the Carbonaro
effect or something.

Yeah, that's kind of what I would have
expected the Carbonaro effect to do. Do

you know the Carbonaro effect?

Yeah. You know it's filmed in Chicago,
right? Is it? Yeah. I didn't know they

filmed that here in Chicago. Well,
Carbonaro's film is all over the place.

has different actual stores that he goes
into.

Wait, what does he do?

He's a magician.

So you've seen the show?

Yeah, it's on TruTV, I think.

I've never heard of True TV.

It's a cable channel. I don't know. I
don't remember which channel it is. But

he's like about six foot tall, Caucasian
with black hair, I think. Okay. Dark

brown hair. Right, right. But the thing
is, they're actors.

Really? I think it's all accurate. So
you don't think you'd ever, like, no one

would ever get you into that situation?
No, I think I'd get hired to go do that

for a day. I see. Unless you were being
hired as an actor, you'd never actually

just find yourself in a situation on a
carbon monoxide. Well, the thing is, is

know what the guy looks like. So if I
walked into a place and he's there, I

like, okay, where's the kids and family?

Right. You would know. Yeah. Yeah. I
think I would probably know, too.

Yeah. Although I didn't know, I didn't
even realize that we were doing it right

now. You know what I mean? Yeah. I was
like, for a second while I was talking

you, I forgot that this is the Carbonaro
Effect.

Because I'm Michael Carbonaro.

And you're on the Carbonaro Effect.

Really? You're on the Carbonaro Effect
right now. You're such a jerk.

That was cool.

Yeah, that was actually pretty cool. And
this is so embarrassing because my

father -in -law actually watches the
show all the time.

So he's going to watch it and go, hey.

See? Despite what Stephanie thought, the
Carbonaro effect only features real

people. Honestly, it's the only way to
get those hilarious and authentic

reactions, like the one in this clip
about mutant crabs from outer space that

became the most talked -about trick in
the history of our show.

Look at that.

It is totally moving.

It's alive!

Oh, my God.

It's a creature from outer space and
it's still alive.

It's totally like mutated.

Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from
Atlanta, Georgia, it's Jennifer.

Yes. Oh, my God.

Yes. My God.

Hi.

How you doing? This is crazy.

I'm like starstruck now being in front
of you. Seriously. It's the crab cats

lady.

Is that okay I call you that? It's okay.

It's okay. Do people ever call you that
in life, the crab cat's lady?

Only my family.

Do you get recognized from being on the
show? Everywhere.

Really? Yes, throughout the whole United
States.

Is that so? Yes, I travel a lot, so I
get recognized everywhere.

Yeah? What's the weirdest place you've
ever gotten recognized? Well, once I was

in Ohio, and I was in a hotel coming
out, and this biker dude comes up to me.

And he goes, hey, I know you. And I was
like, well, I don't know you.

So it must have been from the Carbonaro
effect, and he instantly knew exactly

who it was. Yes. That's amazing. That's
a great way to meet biker dudes.

You know?

I've got a special little present for
you to take home. Don't be scared.

It is the meteor from the show.

This is the actual one. That's for you
to keep. Do not get it wet.

Oh, my God. There's not a crab in here,
is there?

You might see.

Stay tuned because when we come back, we
have another special guest coming your

way.

The last time I met Michael Carbonaro,
he pulled the head off of a chicken.

And then, magically made it appear
again.

Didn't happen. A four -night thing
happened. Yeah, you're right. Well, this

about Michael. Oh, congratulations.

Congratulations on 100 episodes of
pure... Oh, I got something stuck in my

beard.

Son of a... So, Michael, I just want to
congratulate you on your 100th episode

of The Carbonaro Effect.

And we have watched every single one of
those.

But we've been known to lie.

Keep those damn chickens away from me.

Welcome back to the 100th episode of the
Carbonaro Effect.

Now, behind the scenes, we spend a lot
of time preparing and rehearsing to make

sure that the tricks go smoothly. But
even the best laid plans mess up.

when Mother Nature decides to have her
own agenda.

Remember the trick where this poor woman
got sucked into a toilet?

Where'd she go?

Well, later that day, I tried that same
trick on Aaron, and before I could even

get started, Chicago showed me why
they're called the Windy City.

I moved here, well, like a month ago, so
I guess late August for college.

Yeah, and where'd you come from?

You know?

That'll happen a lot of times. It will?

Yep. Mother Nature can strike at the
most inopportune times. Like as I

to finish the last trick of the day in
the middle of a severe thunderstorm

warning. Here we go.

All right.

So you've got to explain that to me a
little bit more.

Yeah. What that powder does.

Well. Okay, so is it made from quartz?
It's made from quartz. What that does is

it takes natural rainwater.

and it assimilates the fermentation
process to that.

Right. Well, it looks like it's getting
pretty rainy. I know.

So wait.

Now watch here as our audio guy tries to
run out to save the equipment from

being ruined. That's exactly right.

Oh,

they're probably starting to close up.
Hey, guys. Yeah, don't worry about it.

You can get that stuff on out of the
way.

The process that makes that work, it's
called the Carbonaro effect.

You ever heard of that before?

Maybe. I don't know. You don't know?

I don't know. It's the name of a hidden
camera magic TV show.

Okay. That you're on right now.

I'm a magician.

That was magic.

Come with me. We're going to give you a
prize for playing.

I don't know why she stayed.

Who sat there?

Yeah. Okay.

Now, it doesn't take too much for a good
trick to go bad. For example, on the

occasions when the magic is, dare I say,
too effective.

So effective that it sends people
running out and screaming into the

remember, once they're away from our
cameras and microphones, there's nothing

for you at home to see.

Holy crap. Yo.

Yo, hold on. Don't leave me here. Do you
want to go?

No, I'm going to go over here. I got a
van.

You want to get out of here? I'm going
to stand over here.

I gotta get help. I gotta get help.

I gotta get help. Oh, hell.

No. It's like it assimilated a face.
Anthony, this is beautiful.

Anthony is the wonder of nature right in
front of us.

Get the fuck out of here.

Holly.

What the?

Sometimes I'm able to save the day and
convince the runaways to come back into

camera range, which is what happened
after Harley here was confronted by a

cursed chalice that turned everything it
touched into stone.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Whoa.

What the?

What the?

Oh, my gosh. What? Oh, no, no, no. It's
OK. It's OK. Yo, are you all right?

Dude, come on.

from Chicago, Illinois, Harley!

Yes! You made it!

Harley,

it's actually you!

Oh my gosh, holy.

I have to start with an apology.

I got your heart thumping pretty good
there, right? Yes, you did.

Are you okay now?

I'm okay now. Okay. Just recovered.

Just recovered now? That's awesome. Now,
seriously, when you looked over and you

saw that that dude had turned to stone,
what were you thinking?

I thought he died.

Oh, my gosh. Like, I just thought that
was the end. I also couldn't remember if

I had touched the cup, so I thought I
was going to turn to stone. Oh, yeah. I

thought my last moments on Earth were
with you. That those were them.

Those were the last moments. Oh, my
gosh.

Okay, so when I finally let you off the
hook and told you that you were on the

show, honestly, seriously, we want to
know. Were you angry? Were you mad at me

or the crew?

No, I wasn't mad. I actually started
asking for a job.

All right. Well, I'll tell you, when we
go back to Chicago to shoot some more

episodes, if you're around, we will
reach out and maybe you can become part

the team. Thank you. Would you do that?
Yeah, definitely. You've never done

that. Why not?

Okay.

All right. Now, I have something special
here to watch. It's an extra clip. It

happened during our encounter, but it
never made it to the final cut.

All right?

Okay.

I don't know if you know this, but the
vest we gave you to wear that day to

had a secret microphone in it.

And one point during the trick, you got
so scared you tore the vest off. Do you

remember that? Yeah, I remember. And I
had to figure out some way to get you to

put it back on. And what I say doesn't
even make sense, but somehow it worked.

All right, what do we do?

How is this happening?

It's a cup.

What do you mean?

Wait, are you the... Oh, wait, stay with
me. No, just don't leave.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Are you okay?

Okay. Put your vest on so we're safe.

for you, and this is a gift for you as
well, so good luck getting that on the

plane.

We will be right back with a special
trick where for the first time I play a

trick on some fans of the show.

Thanks again for joining me for the
100th episode of the Carbonaro Effect.

This special is all about celebrating
the fans, but I'd also like to thank

TV and the entire crew who works on the
show. I know that sometimes it looks

like a one -man operation, but that's
the farthest from the truth. There is an

entire team of people, including some of
the world's most talented magicians,

who helped me create and execute these
delusions.

And you might recognize a few of them
from when they got to play my secret

assistants on the show.

Thank you, guys. I could never do any of
this without you.

Now, fans of the Carbonaro Effect almost
never appear on the Carbonaro Effect

because they're the ones who call me out
and recognize me. And I thought that

was kind of unfair.

So for this 100th episode special, we
engineered a very special trick as a

reward for the fan.

Here's what we did. We set up fans of
the show to set up their friends and

family, also fans of the show. All they
had to do was get them into an

electronics store and make them think
they were watching a demonstration for a

new TV.

I think I see my phone. I have not.

I'm not putting bugs in my house.

That's literally my favorite one we've
ever done. Before we move to number

we're going to do something a little
crazy.

I'm going to try a trick right now
through this screen in your living room.

my pocket.

I've got a piece of paper. I want one of
you to stand up right now and come

towards the screen.

If you're alone watching the show, I
guess it's you. But if there's a group

you, choose one of you, just one of you,
to stand up right now and come towards

the screen.

I'm going to wait.

I want you to take your finger and touch
the paper and say your name out loud.

Touch the paper and say your name.

Lauren. Good.

Now, through the magic transmission of
television, your name appears.

Lauren.

Now, if you thought that was amazing,

stick around. You are not going to want
to miss this. This is not the time.

How does he know that?

How? My heart is beating.

A million minutes a minute.

How did he know?

Before we move on to number three,
another magic trick right now through

screen in your living room. See, I don't
like this.

Someone in the room, your room, right
now, I mean it, I'm talking to you.

Grab the remote control.

If you have the TV's remote control,
hold it in your hand tightly.

Don't let it go. Keep the remote control
in your hand and stay seated.

Everyone else in the room, stand up.

All right, guys. I mean, stand up and
come close toward the TV screen.

Oh, God.

Be shy.

You're going to wish you did. Come on
over here. Hold your hands out toward

screen and touch your fingertips to the
screen.

Get ready. Touch your fingertips to the
screen. Good.

You're touching. You're touching.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, my God!

Welcome back to the 100th episode of the
Carbonaro Effect.

Now, when we left off, I had these fans
in the middle of a television portation

conundrum.

Here we go.

Three, two...

One. Now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What
the heck?

Where are we?

Guys? Hi.

Hi.

Where? Are we in California?

No. Oh, my gosh.

I'm so sorry.

Hi, Michael Carbonaro.

Hi. Nice to meet you. What's your name?
Lauren. Hi, Lauren.

Hi, Chiquita. Hi, Chiquita. How you
doing? I am so sorry. They weren't

to air this episode. I was just in the
middle of shooting in California. I got

to call my director, and we'll get this
fixed. I think he's stuck in there.

Sorry about that.

I hate him. I hate him.

Now check out how some of these other
fans reacted.

Wait

a

minute.

Hold on a minute.

What is going on? Oh, my gosh.

Mom!

Mom! I'm too freaked out. You're out?
Lily, come with me.

What?

Holy cow.

Is this happening right now? This is
really happening right now. This is

happening right now.

What the?

Oh, my God.

Holy.

What the just happened?

Tim might be stuck in the TV forever.

Keep his ass there.

Sorry, guys. I'm going to need a flight
back to California right now.

They aired the episode and we got, I
think we had, is this your friend? You

probably keep him.

You want to leave him in there? Yeah.

They're okay with leaving him in there.

So we'll just call this a demo run.

Okay.

Great. Yeah.

Sorry about that, guys. Uh -huh. I'm
really sorry.

Are you familiar with this phenomenon,
the carbonaro effect?

Do you realize you're on that show right
now?

Oh, God.

It's starting to come together.

It's starting to come together.

You said your hands were shaking?

They still are.

I'm trembling in the inside. Like, I
can't even. My heart is beating so fast.

Well, you guys are really fun to play
with.

Thank you so much for coming. Oh, my
God. This is great.

Thank you, Jordan. You're right here in
your living room.
