Hey, how you doing today? Michael Carbonaro has an effect on people.

That's nuts.

That's cool.

Oh my God!

Hiding in plain sight.

Michael, nice to meet you. He makes them fall for the impossible.

The best thing to do is just pick him up by the tail.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh my God!

This is the Carbonaro Effect.

Vibra. Vibra.

How are you? Great, how are you? I'm doing good.

Good. All right.

These? Oh, that's cute.

All right, a card magnet.

Oh, I love this book, though.

I had that book when I was a kid.

It's a good one.

It's like pop -up books.

I love little kid books. Yeah.

These are fun. Yeah.

Little zoo animals.

This is a new edition, though, right? I don't know.

You haven't seen this book? No. Oh, this is great.

Yeah.

I think mine used to be a little bit thicker.

They're making them really thin now.

It's amazing how they can, like, come up with, like, ways to, like, make stuff

just, like, pop up like that.

But when I was a kid, the one was a surprise.

Oh, that's better.

Isn't that crazy?

That is so crazy. The last page was, like, this little, like, box.

That's awesome.

Because I wasn't allowed to have pets as a kid.

Here's a bunch of books with animals in it.

What do they do with this one now?

Oh, this is great.

Yeah, mine was a... Oh, that's good.

Yeah. Mine was a salamander.

How did they do that?

I don't know.

It's like... It's a real fish?

Yeah. And how did the book... I'm so confused how that could happen.

Wow.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

Mine used to be... It was like a little lizard or a salamander, but I don't

think you're allowed to...

give those to kids anymore.

But... Yeah, that's great.

It just popped up.

You did just pull that out of there, correct? Yeah. That just happened, but

is hard, and that gets flat, and that wasn't... Yeah.

How are you guys doing?

Good. All right, a little project going on? Yeah.

We'll look out tomorrow night.

All right.

Oh, we're also giving out free balloons, so you can choose a color. Oh, cool.

Choose any color you want.

I'll get that blown up for you. Here you go.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Yellow?

Yeah. All right, we'll wait for that.

I'll blow that up while that... Okay, I'm going to try.

Okay. Is that good? That's pretty good. Yeah, my dad and my grandpa had it.

The ability to do this where you just blow it up, you know, and then it

actually... Oh!

I used to be able to blow it up.

Really? Yeah.

That's my fault. Hold on, let me try that again.

Do you want to try a different one?

Orange? Okay.

Let me try orange. Sorry.

A little more on my left lung here.

There you go.

It's so funny.

My great -grandpa used to do it at a fair in Italy, yeah, and then it got

down. Oh, my God.

Yeah.

So cool.

Yeah. My great -grandfather and my grandfather, my father, and now I can do

That's cool.

He's like a lot of hydrogen in his blood. Yeah.

Oh,

sorry.

There goes another one.

Yeah, I didn't know that was even possible.

Yeah, but on my grandfather's side.

When they did, like, a family picnic, all the guys in the family, they'd blow

up, you know, a big hot air balloon. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, and take around, you

know, the elders.

And Pop -Pop would hold up a lighter and just, you know.

I have a lot of pictures of it, like, old black -and -white pictures of it.

Hey, how are you? Doing well.

Oh, my God, I totally got this thing to work.

Wow. What is that? It's like a little knitting canister. That's what I want.

It's what you want?

I didn't know you said knitting stuff. Have you heard of it?

No, but I need knitting stuff.

Really? Yes.

Oh, perfect. I actually, I've been trying to play with this all day and I

couldn't even get it to work. Okay.

Yeah, I have a bunch of them here. Let me see if I can make sure.

Oh, wow. Look at that. Perfect timing.

Oh, really? Yeah.

That's what I've been searching for. Oh, that's so funny. Yeah.

This makes like a, this makes a little koozie, like a drink thing. I don't

understand. Perfect.

Really? Yeah. Oh, wow.

Well, let me make sure the whole thing works.

Okay. It's got like a...

All right, so it has these in there. Okay.

And you have to make sure that they're lined up.

And then you choose, it has like a little, C I guess is koozie, M is

think. Seriously?

Yeah.

That's totally awesome.

And that goes in there like this, right?

You balance it on top. I think you have to use the lid on it. Okay.

Like that. Push that down. So it's like balanced like that.

All right. And if that's dialed right.

It says to shake, but I was pulling. I actually was getting a better result.

Okay.

That's great. Look at that. Are you freaking kidding me?

Wow. No way.

Yeah, how does it do that?

Dude. What the heck?

That is... You have to be joking.

That is awesome.

Oh, my God. M is mitten.

Wow.

That's crazy.

That is the most ridiculous thing ever. You have to shake and pull.

Shake and pull.

Yeah, the directions said to shake, but it wasn't like shaking out. That's what

I've been looking for. Really?

And then there's G, which I guess is gloves.

Wow.

Man, that was the fastest pair of gloves I've ever seen. You think?

That's mittens. Yeah. G is for gloves.

Let's do G here. Pick another color and put it on top of that. Are you kidding

me? Okay.

Red? Yeah, let's do red. Okay, so the string has to go.

Yeah, I think it has to be like this, right? But these have to be like, you

to push those so those are like lined.

Like? Yeah.

And that little one, yeah.

When they're like spaced apart like that, then like that goes through the,

like threading a needle, but I'm going to try it without the lid on it. I don't

understand how this works.

What?

What?

Wait a minute.

Wow. It works without the lid too.

That's great.

I don't understand.

Oh, but it didn't work. That's not a glove.

Oh, gee.

Oh, that's perfect. That's even better.

Okay. That's funny.

I won't ask. That's okay. Yeah, it's good. Wow.

It's for an 85 -year -old grandmother that's got the best sense of humor ever.

Oh, yeah. I mean, sure, crocheted. Are you kidding me? Or knitted. I don't know

the difference. That's great. I don't understand how this thing works, but

is beautiful.

Wow. Let me see if I have one packaged for you.

Oh, my God. You have to be kidding me.

Oh, my God. I don't get it.

I feel good.

Health food store?

Feeling good.

How are you doing? Good, how are you? Doing great. What do you got there?

Good stuff.

Oh, yeah.

Macchiato stuff.

Really? No, I need a macchiato. Keep you awake in the... No, no, it's good to

be. Oh, that's great.

Have you had some of our fresh almond milk before or just from the store? Just

from the store.

Wow.

You have to do it.

machine press makes them bitter okay so we have a whole order uh we have a whole

group of people who come in and get fresh almond milk from us daily so yeah

up early and i squeeze them and they're gonna get more people to help do this

okay to make it fresh because it's like so we have a little kit too here i'll

show you it's over let me move on over yeah this is so people can do it at home

it's they just make it cute and i can rest your hand on it because it

It gets your fingers going, let me tell you. Okay.

Yeah. And then you find the little.

Are you serious?

The little, yeah. There's like a little on the back right here. You can feel the

ridges on there.

If you find between, there's like a soft spot.

And that's the directions that are in there. You find the right spot and you

really just get there.

If you find the spot.

What are you doing? Just milking the almond.

Are you kidding?

Yeah.

No way! So each one, you can really just get the last little bit. Let me get it

in there.

And it's fresh.

Do you want to taste that?

Alright, it's not bitter like the store kind. It's got a nice sweet... Shut up!

It's good, right?

Oh my god!

It's really good. I can't believe that you just actually squeezed the almond.

I've never seen that before.

Yeah. Mike is like milking a cow, but you're just milking the almond.

I love it!

It's exactly the same thing. Did you cut the end of it off? No, you don't even

have to. You find the nip.

That's the almond nip.

They all have two, and it's hard to do with just one.

Okay. But if you put a whole bunch of them in there, like, you know what's a

good thing to do? Do we have any more of that stuff?

This is great.

Okay. Okay. Cocoa powder. Okay. A little bit of cocoa powder. Okay.

And I like to take about, oh, seven of those things and sprinkle a little bit

cocoa powder on there, like this. Okay.

You're not allergic to chocolate or anything?

No? It's good? And then this way you could, like, squeeze the whole...

Squeeze hard, you can get a whole bunch of chocolate milk.

Like that.

It's a little messy, but it's worth it because it's fresh. It's really good.

See that?

Like, my mouth is not closed yet. Yeah.

Are you kidding me? Nope. And that's it. Look. Who are you?

I'm just a milker.

Is that bad that I did not know there was actually milk inside the nut? I had

idea. I felt the same way. I was like, wait.

And they're like, no, almond milk.

Milk and almond. I'm like, duh.

That was like one of the best things ever.

Wow.

Are you the sales rep for Moringa Bar?

What is it?

Moringa Bar.

Moringa Bar?

It's raw?

Yeah, we're not cooking it.

I don't eat raw food, and I haven't been eating any solid food.

I've just been eating supplements.

So, again, I wouldn't eat the bar directly, but we hand -make our

so I'll just put pieces in there. This is how I eat everything.

Yeah,

and at least this way I'll get to try it.

And I'm just going to use a little bit of amolia oil because that helps

encapsulate it.

It breaks down.

All of the particles.

And maybe just a little bit of ginger wicker.

Because that just gives it a zing.

Because I don't eat a lot, so I like a little something, you know? A tiny

bit of flavor.

So all of that in there.

Okay. What does it have? It's circular inside. It has a spiral inside.

Yeah, there's a corkscrew that goes up for pistons. Okay.

And it's got a natural...

centrifuge with the gravity.

So it's all about balance.

So you just give it a light shake in circles like that and it travels down.

Really? Yeah. Even if it's like too thick?

Well, yeah, it sounds a little thick, right?

I want to take it a bit together. Can you hear it? Yeah. It dried.

That's when it dried around it.

Perfect.

And I can take it in a separate form. Yeah.

No way.

Yeah, yeah. The amolia oil breaks it down so that I can take it as a capsule.

Wow. Yeah. I'm going to try it. Okay.

I don't drink water.

Yeah.

I can taste the merengue.

That's good. You can taste it?

I can taste the moringa, yeah. Wow.

My palate is very sensitive now because I don't eat food.

Does it kind of have like an oat taste?

Yeah, it does.

Yeah, it has a woodsy taste. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It really filled me up.

How long have you guys been doing this?

This goes back to shamanism, that they would use oil to break down food,

vegetables, meats, figs.

Don't get that stuff on your fingers.

It's dangerous.

It's natural, but it is dangerous.

Now look.

Oh, oh dear.

So we want to find something.

Holy.

This is like an official authentication light.

It authenticates things. See, look, I'm authentic.

What's your name?

Hope. Hope, wonderful.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too.

Oh, this is great. Have you been working in the basement?

No, this is new for me. Oh, okay.

Great. Here, put that down right here.

Awesome. Where should I put this?

Anywhere you want.

You sure? Yeah, sure.

Okay, I'll just stick it down there. Great.

Wow, this is great. Yes.

Oh, yeah, put gloves on, though. Okay. Because you're going to be touching.

Yes. You're going to be gloving. Okay. Yeah. They are setting up stuff for the

Egyptian exhibit, so this stuff is all coming from different places.

I know we had a big shipment from Cairo, and our job is to take a look at the

stuff that comes in and to authenticate it, which I've learned how to do. Oh,

wow. With a light, so I'll show you how to do that. Okay.

All right, so what do we got here?

Ooh. A mummy cat?

That's exactly what it is. Oh, my gosh. Look at that.

No one is going to believe me. No one is going to believe you?

Wow. This is really happening.

Wow. You know, Egyptians would be mummified, and they would be buried with

cat. Wow. With them? Yep. Oh.

So the cats were really, really sacred, and they believed that the cats would

bring their soul back to life.

Wow. I love it. So what we're going to do.

is you run the light over it.

Now you see what's happening right there? Yeah, the spot's glowing. Yeah,

spot's glowing. You see how it glows like the body?

That means that there's a lot of protein that's come up to the surface.

So this one, because I see so much glowing, I would leave this one for the

master curator just so that he can handle it.

Wow. Yeah, just so we repackage him.

I know. All right, thank you.

Wow. Yeah. From Cairo.

Yep.

So you want to put that on the cart? Sure do. Okay.

And then I'll show you.

Oh, wait a minute. You know what? That's broken.

The cart is? No, this is broken. I didn't see that.

Yeah. Glad you passed it to me. Yeah, look.

This side is broken. Oh.

Oh, dear.

Yeah. So, no, we do want to find something.

We got to put that in. Yeah.

Was that broken when you brought it in? I don't think so.

All right.

I have not.

Holy.

Is that real?

Wow. Michael? Yeah. Michael.

Michael? This happens all the time.

Are you kidding me? No. They're trying to smuggle cats from Egypt here.

So they wrap them to look like mummy cats.

And it puts them, yep. See?

Oh my gosh. This is normal?

Yeah. They use... A preservative that activates with the light that we use to

authenticate.

Yeah. I just, I activated it with the light.

Is this real? Okay.

That's crazy.

Oh, my God. I guess I can get the rest of these wraps off here. This is crazy.

It is crazy. Oh, you thought it was really a mummy cat coming back? I

like, I was thinking, like, Egyptian, you know, you're not supposed to mess

the tombs and, like. Oh, we were going to be like.

In big trouble? Like we just, like the universe is about to crack open and

something's going to happen.

I don't know. All I know is they're mummies and then they're not mummies and

we're not supposed to tell anyone.

How are you? I'm great. How are you guys doing? Good. What's your name? Ronika.

Ronika. Nice to meet you, Michael.

Nice to meet you. All right.

That's Darren.

Nice to meet you.

How are you doing? Good. You don't have to talk to him a lot because he doesn't

do any work around here.

Thanks. So it'll just be me and you. No, it's good I get extra help.

All right.

Yeah, this is super cool stuff.

So maybe just put all the alike stuff on. You know what? I'm not even going to

tell you what to do.

You get to be creative and just set that stuff up.

All right, so she's going to be doing that.

So set up all the brass pieces.

That's great.

Oh, I see.

All right, we're going to be getting an actual mummy that's going to go inside

here. So that's cool. So it's going to be 5 '9". I don't think it's going to

5 '9". How tall are you?

5 '4". How tall are you, Darren?

5 '10". 5 '10"? Well, if you would fit in here, then a mummy would fit in here.

Presumably, yeah.

Would you get in it?

In there?

Yeah. Well, they want us to take a picture.

I'll take a picture. Of the measurement, so just be careful because if we have

to move... Only handle it from this side. Can I? You know what I'm talking

about? Yes, definitely.

Okay. Get in this thing?

Yeah.

Will you help us?

Yeah. Okay, here, wait. I'll have you take it. Well, be careful.

What is that?

It's your costume, I guess.

Does he fit?

Yeah, you fit the whole thing. Look, you can wear that.

Oh, that's lovely.

Yeah, he, like, fits in the whole thing. He would be like... Oh, shoot.

Can you help me?

Oh, my gosh. Darren?

There he is.

Does he fit?

Yeah, he fit the whole thing. Look, you can wear that.

Oh, that's lovely.

Yeah, he like fits in the whole thing. He would be like... Oh, shoot.

Can you help me?

Oh, my gosh. Darren?

There he is.

Oh, where's he at? What the heck?

Darren?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Where's he at?

I don't know.

God, what are those?

I'm, like, at a loss for words.

Okay, we don't say anything. If somebody comes up, we just say Darren did not

show up to work today.

Okay?

He's always late anyway, so they're totally going to believe that.

But I'm not. Well, what if we don't find him?

Well, I just don't want to be responsible. Right. You know? I

Like, how does that happen? I don't.

No. Have you read about that? I have never in my whole entire life.

No, but that Egyptian, where they believed that when you wrapped up the

the essence of the body, once they were buried, would escape.

They call that the Carbonaro effect.

Have you heard of that before?

I've heard of the mummy stuff.

Yeah, I heard of a little bit of that. You never heard about that? The

effect? No, not that.

Oh, yeah. It's also the name of a hidden camera magic TV show.

That's so scary.

Like the hidden camera magic TV show.

Well, that's what I'm on.

Are you serious? Yes.

My name is Michael Carbonaro.

You're on my show right now. I'm a magician.

I'm serious.

What were you thinking?

Like, where did he really go?

I'll never tell.
