Hey, what can I get you? Michael Carbonaro has an effect on people.

What is that?

Hiding in plain sight. How you guys doing? He makes them fall for the

impossible.

They remember how to be tied.

This is the Carbonaro Effect.

Is there anything?

More satisfying than watching.

Intelligent people believe in the impossible.

You looking for fun gifts?

For my niece who's like going to be 10 or 11.

What is cool these days?

This stuff, we keep it up here.

What is it? Liquid stiff.

What is it? Does she like to blow bubbles?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I don't hang around her very much. Oh, you don't hang around her? Oh, she lives

in Savannah?

What happened?

Oh, it's like, um...

It was made by a glass blower.

Uh -huh.

And it's a special mixture.

Apparently you can kind of bounce them.

Oh! And you can grab them.

And then if you can get it right before it hardens completely, you get a little

tip on it.

And then, yeah, you make little ornaments out of them.

Yeah. Kind of fun, right?

Oh, my God. I'm definitely getting one of these. Yeah.

It's cool, right?

Hell, yeah.

They're really cool. It's originally how they made contact lenses.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, it's just... Huh?

What? Look at these. Look at this. It's little... He just made that.

Here we go.

Catch them.

That's ridiculous.

That's really ridiculous.

Yeah, it's a glass. Are you going to do it?

No. There's instructions online for it. Okay. Yeah.

That's totally ridiculous. It's really easy. I mean, you just blow and grab.

Wow. Yeah.

Should I try it? Should I blow? Yeah, sure.

Come and try.

Here, you both try it.

All right. I want to try it. Yeah. All right. I'll be right back, okay? Okay.

I'll bring you up after.

He made it look so easy. I knew it wasn't that easy.

All right.

Wrapping paper.

Over here.

Okay. Having a party?

Mm -hmm. Oh,

very fun.

A lot of people love the sticker fit.

Oh, cool.

At birthday parties. Have you used them before? Uh -uh.

Oh, you haven't seen these before?

Uh -uh. Oh, this is really great. Yeah.

Yeah. Here, let me show you. Oh, wow. There's a lot of your stuff over here.

I'll show you, yeah. Use a bowl of water, and you just peel off one of

little fish.

They're, like, dried out.

There you go.

And you see how, like, the fins are sort of translucent, but the body is still

sort of intact?

Yeah. I don't know how they do this, but you touch them to water. Kids love to

do this. And they just, like... What?

Yeah, they animate back to life.

What?

Yeah. That's a live fish? Yeah.

What?

Yeah. Did that really just happen? Yeah, I don't... Okay.

Okay. Like, and then you feed it and it's alive? Yeah, you feed it and it's

alive. How much does it cost?

25 cents each.

Stop it! No, I swear. Yeah.

They're from Indonesia.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, I'll take... Oh, my God.

25 cents each? Yeah.

I'll take ten of those. Ten of them? Yeah.

Oh, well, my hands are wet, so let me be careful.

Don't start animating. No. Can I have a plastic bag to put it in? Yeah, that's a

good idea.

Excellent. Wonderful. Thank you. Great.

How you doing?

Good to see you.

All right.

Oh, yeah, those are just a penny each because they're almost out.

Oh.

They don't have that many bounces left in them. That's why they're trying to

rid of them.

yeah bring it over here where you can yeah does it bounce oh yeah that's

good that's a penny yeah penny if you're gonna buy it though then don't don't

bounce it now why keeps going down and down yeah they're running out of bounces

they have like each one has like let's see does it recharge no no no that's the

thing that's why they're so cheap running out of bounce that's never heard

such a thing yeah yeah yeah try it again oh i just did it done It did? Yeah.

So it's done?

Well, is it done?

Yeah. He doesn't understand the concept. I never thought a ball would do that

quickly, though. That's why you see, like, in the sporting games, they come

out and change the ball.

Like in a basketball game? Yeah.

Does the guy count the bounces? Yeah, that's the guy that comes out and

the ball.

Man, I don't want that job.

Yeah, yeah. All right, so you want the one with no bounces, and then I just

you to know the... Yeah, these will only have, like, 20 or 30 bounces. That's

fine. And that's okay? Yeah.

Okay, you got it.

All right.

Okay, a little helper broom set.

And just keep in mind, though, these brooms only have a limited number of

tweets.

Did you call about the Ecoformat stuff?

No. Oh, okay. We're not supposed to sell it as of midnight last night, and

someone just called and they wanted to arrest them real fast.

So what is it? Oh, it's the whole thing on the news about it, the Ecoformat

amphibomolding process.

You know how you make a candle?

Yeah. It's this sludge stuff. Okay.

You use like 15 cc's of it. Oh, okay.

You inject it in here, like an injection mold. Yeah.

But it's crazy because the stuff, it solidifies so quickly.

Okay. They give you this light, and it pulsates with, like, the frequency of,

like, a frog. Yeah?

It creates the heartbeat, and then you see how, like, the colors change? Oh, my

God. Yeah.

That's so crazy. And it looks really... That looks good.

Yeah. Oh, my God. And then there it is.

Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry.

Oh, my God. Yeah, here. That's not a real frog. Yeah, no, it is. It's a real

frog.

Are you kidding me? No, no, no. It's like a... Yeah, it's this stuff.

Can you just pop a frog out of a can?

Yes. No, it's a mold.

Wait, wait, wait. No one? Wait, what?

Yeah. Can we buy one?

No, it's being recalled. I'm technically not supposed to sell it as of midnight

last night. I know.

Anybody want this?

No, I want a frog. Is it only five bucks?

They had a salamander one that sold out.

really fast.

There's a frog in here right now. There's a frog in here.

Squeeze the green stuff into here. Close the lid.

Put this little light on top of it. It started changing colors.

No, there was nothing in here. You, like, squeezed it out of that tube into

here. That technology is frightening.

Yeah. Put it down. We need to be using this technology for something else.

That's what people say.

So what do you do about the frog now?

Yeah, like, do you have to feed it? You could feed him, or it microwaves for 30

seconds, and it will go back to the sludge stuff.

I don't understand.

Instead of hitting cameras today in the gym, so that I could perform the

vanishing knot.

All right, it's a wrap.

Hey, how you doing, man? Hey, how are we doing today? Great, how are you? Right,

I heard you're into fitness. That's right, man. You're into fitness

I used to be in the military.

Oh, okay.

Have you used an isolation box before? You've worked out with these before, I'm

sure. Right, right, right.

There you go.

So you go ahead and step right in there.

There you go.

Put your big feet in there, right? All right, yeah.

And you get some sticks.

All right, and you're going to want to put that about, oh, eight inches in

of the box there, right? Yeah, a little closer to the box.

Good. Take your left hand and put it on top of the stick like this, right?

And just use your hand.

Relax your other arm down.

Now... If I were in front of the stick, I could pull my body up.

But I'm off balance, and that's why you're in the isolation box. Right,

I have to use my spine to be able to pull from the center of my body and pull

myself up and down. Can you do that?

Up and down.

Okay.

Okay.

You feel your spine?

Yeah, I think I'm engaging my spine. Yeah, you feel your spine. That's

right. Yeah.

That's good.

Really good.

And you're just concentrating on that spine going down.

Yep. Spine down, body up.

Right? Okay. Here, let me take that.

Stay in the box. We'll try one more thing. This is a little bit easier. Grab

onto the cables.

All right.

Here. My cables got twisted here. Okay.

And now what you want to do is you're thinking about pulling the box up, okay?

Now, Obviously, you can't pull your own body weight. Right, right, right. But

now if I engage my spine, right, I'm able to pull just almost.

Just get it to go up for a second. Just for a second. Can you do that?

You just put yourself off the ground.

Right. Okay.

Can you do that?

Don't even think. Just go for it.

Do you mind kneeling down, or do you want me to get a mat?

No, I'm okay.

Okay. With this one, the hands are going to go like this.

Okay? Yeah, they go right, and you're pushing your weight on it. Just about

that. Good.

And start to just wiggle your right hand back.

Just kind of inching it along the bench there.

Okay. As far as you can get that to go. That's great.

That's great.

Where's the stop?

I think it's that. Right there?

Yeah. Yeah.

There's some muscles in the way, right, and some bone? Mm -hmm. Is there,

though?

No. Well, look, watch.

If this isn't just about my wrist, it's about my arm.

See what I'm saying? It's the shoulder, it's the wrist. Can my arm twist?

Take the whole arm and twist from the shoulder.

Yeah? See that? Go ahead, grab onto that and grab my wrist.

Go ahead and twist it.

Is it going to hurt? No, turn it this way. Grab my arm and say, I'm twisting

arm. I'm twisting his arm. Oh, my God.

See that?

You can go right around.

So, when's the last time you worked out at a gym?

Really, I don't really go to the gym.

Perfect. I don't know if I'm the right person for this. Oh, no. That's why you

come to a trainer. Yeah.

Okay, so ideally, I got that, right? All right, ideally, I'm going to have you

lay down right here with your head on that thigh. Okay, stomach down or back

down? Back down. Okay. Yeah, it's real relaxing.

Yeah, you just sort of feel your spine pressed into the floor.

And now what I want you to do is turn your head to the left just a little bit.

Okay, and turn your head back. Good, good, good, good.

And now sit up for just a second, okay? Sit up right here.

Okay, because we're going to keep repeating that action, okay?

I'm going to show you.

I just opened a brand new sponge for you.

Okay. It's an electrolyte sponge.

Okay. Okay, so it's super absorbent and totally dry. Feel it. Yeah.

So we're going to just press that right here for a second. Turn your head to the

side. Yep.

Good.

And now watch this.

I'm going to give it a squeeze.

Are you serious? A little bit. That's a little bit. It's not much. It's not

much.

Not much. That just came out right now? Just a little bit. It's not sweat.

It's potential energy.

What do they use that thing for? Because that's like... There is kinetic energy,

right? And that's energy that you are using, okay? Then there's

potential energy.

That's energy that you can use, right? And then there's aqueous energy.

And that's energy that you're storing that you're never going to use.

It's inside muscles you didn't even know you had, okay?

You must be tired. Let me get you a towel. Here's a little towel. There you

Catch that.

That's for you. Good job.

You know about that? Nah.

Oh, it's a spray foam towel.

Okay, so you just spray it.

Yeah, it's like a little bit of... Here, hold out your finger a little bit.

Come right out and... Gotta shake it. No.

You have to shake it, sorry. Okay. Hold on.

Yeah, it just spreads like this, look.

There.

It's a little spray towel.

I've never seen anything like this. Let me show you.

You can blow air into it, look.

While you do it? Yeah.

You make like, did I? Yeah.

I make socks with it.

Wow.

Like, I feel like I'm in another world.

There's like a lot of people waiting around.

It's like a sting.

All right, I'm the lady.

Could you help me out for a second? Could you just watch my bike for two

while I do some port -a -potty? Sure. I don't have a kickstand, and I don't

think someone's going to take it. Yeah, no problem.

All right, I'll be two seconds, okay? Yeah.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

Oh my gosh. Okay, this is too weird.

Why? Did someone... No, but how did you get from there to there? I'm sorry?

You, somebody who looked like you asked me who went in that porta potty, but you

came out of there.

It's me.

It's someone who looks like you. I just asked you to watch it to use the porta

potty.

You were jogging over here. I was. And I stopped you and said, can you watch my

bike for just a second?

And I went in here, yeah? And then I came out, and I'm coming to get it. No,

didn't come out of there. You came from here.

I think you might have been jogging a little bit too long today.

I can't give you this bike. I'm sorry.

Because whoever owns this bike is in there.

In here?

I just use the port -a -potty. This is creepy.

This is weird.

This for you? Oh, my gosh.

Yes.

Were you here last night? I wasn't. I just got here, but I heard about last

night. I heard about it. How are you?

Oh, my God. I can't believe it.

Whoa.

I've never won anything in my life. Nothing? Nothing. This is not bad. I

play anything. This is not bad for winning something for the first time,

paid $20. One ticket I played. Oh, my gosh.

This is crazy, crazy.

I walked here from my house. Can I get it turned over now?

Yeah, I just need your driver's license and your ticket number.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I have all these shenanigans right here.

There is my driver's license right here.

Okay. And, yeah, because we didn't do it by name, we did it by, you can check

the, yeah, the number, right? And give me the ticket. Yes, I do. Oh, my God,

so excited. I can't tell you. Oh, my gosh.

This is, oh, wait, that's not it.

Wait a minute.

Hold on a second. I got it.

Take your time. Okay.

You know what?

You can't give it to me without the ticket. They told me. Really? Yeah, I

All right, I'm going to just run and see if I have the ticket in my house. Take

your time.

What the f -

You can't give it to me without the ticket? They told me that, yeah, I need

ticket number.

All right, I'm going to just run and see if I have the ticket at my house. Take

your time.

Huh? Huh?

Huh?

What the?

Do you have the key?

He's in the box. It's the gray box on the table.

Chad, I'm looking in the box now. There's no key here.

Look in the glove compartment of the car. There's another key in there.

Chad, the car is not here.

The car, literally, the guy came and is talking to me. The car is not here,

Chad. Can you come here?

He came to pick it up. And as he was looking for his stuff, as he was looking

for his ticket, he ran. He said he was running to go home to grab his ticket.

didn't have his ticket. And I turn around and the car is not here.

I found it. It was at my house.

You found it? Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. Where was the key? I knew I had the... How'd you get the key? Huh?

How'd you get the key? No, this is it.

This is the winner.

Yeah. How'd you get the key?

Huh? The key to the car.

I have the ticket. I know. I understand that. I just need to know where you got

the key from. I didn't hand you the key.

Handed me the key.

The car?

Mm -hmm. Who handed you the key? I didn't hand you the key.

I came up to you, and I gave you my driver's license number. And then you

needed to have the ticket. Yeah.

So I got the ticket at my house. And you ran back. I got the ticket. At that

time, wasn't the car still here? Yeah, the car was here. But you wouldn't let

have it.

When did the car move?

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just trying to wrap my mind around.

Because I'm confused because everything happened so fast.

This is what I'm saying. I was here talking to you. Yeah.

I was here talking to you.

And you ran back.

To my house. Yeah, yeah.

And I turned around and the car wasn't there.
