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

nuts. That's cool.

Oh my gosh!

Hiding in plain sight. Michael, nice to meet you. He makes them fall for the

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

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh my gosh!

This is the Carbonaro Effect.

Here we go.

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug. No water allowed in the antique store.

No way.

Throat freeze, brain freeze. No.

No water on the table. These are antique.

Sorry. Oh, hey.

You're Marcella. Yes, Michael Marcella. All right, so Marcella, what I'm doing

is I'm polishing off a shipment of new figures that just came in. Okay. And

we get the island stuff that my boss really likes, we don't use any oils on

them. So the trick is to just use one piece of paper towel.

Okay.

And there's your water.

You want to open it up and just take a little bit of water.

That's it, but always close the water.

Yeah. I learned that one the hard way.

Okay. And then you just dust it off.

And using the water, make sure that the oils of the wood stay original.

Okay. Looks good.

Where do they come from, if you don't mind me asking?

This one, I think, was Singapore.

Some from Haiti.

So people just get rid of this stuff and they don't want it anymore? Yeah, he's

got connections with all these.

This is amazing. It's so beautiful.

Yeah. And this is a mystery one we get.

A Bulu one or something?

I know. You know what? I'm not superstitious.

Are you?

Like, I'm... It doesn't matter.

This is the thing my boss is like crazy superstitious if we get these we don't

keep them at all. So um You don't want to take it right? I don't think so.

wrap it up. Just wrap it up in that and Don't tell them about it Just

yeah, just throw it away.

Okay good piece of paper towel here and Holy

this in here

What? What's that?

It's in here. Oh, is that a bug?

No, that's like the doll.

What? Oh, my God.

Are you kidding me?

Get out of here. Oh, my God.

Ah! The head is not there anymore.

What? I don't want to touch it.

Well, that's your water.

Oh, my God. Oh, my. Are you serious?

All right. I'm not that.

Oh, my God. I'm sweating.

Okay.

That's creepy.

How the hell did that happen?

This is why my boss hates this stuff, and now I understand why.

Oh, my God.

You know, we get a lot of stuff shipped in here, and we clean it up. So I've

been. Working on this zebra for the past two weeks, this had been repainted a

few times.

So I've just been removing paint.

How do you remove the paint? The trick is to use just the right concoction of

water to thinner.

That's kind of cool.

Yeah. So I have a crate that I'm going to let him sit and finish drying in.

actually right there. You won't mind getting that, would you?

Oh, he has the house.

I know, right?

It's like a little zebra house.

Yeah. Is it dusty or anything in there? Would you just make sure that's cleaned

off? I'll clean off the lid.

Yeah. Sitting around a little bit.

Yeah, it was kind of dusty. A little dusty, yeah. We don't want any dust on

there.

Very good.

Oh, yeah, it really was dusty, huh?

Uh -uh, uh -uh, uh -uh.

It's cool because it has a vent so that air can breathe.

Okay, so I'm going to put it in here like this.

All right. Be very careful.

And I'll put this little puppy on here.

I just want to be careful with him. Will you take him over to that side?

I'm still... Yeah, just make sure... Oh, shoot.

Did you... Okay, I'm tripping.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm going to be in big trouble.

Wait. That was white. That was striped. Then when you dropped it, it changed.

I had this. I used too much of the thinner.

Oh, my gosh. Shoot.

That was just white and black.

Right, yeah, this is the original paint job now.

Here.

How did it get there? Because I took away the oxidation off of this thing

down to the last layer.

And the original paint job was probably loose.

So when the box shook, the original paint job came off.

What kind of law is that? That's kind of weird. It's the physics of the loosened

paint splattering to the side.

Law.

Hi. Hey.

Hi, do you need to get this appraised? Oh, great.

Appraisals. Come to the right place.

Oh, wow. Kind of heavy.

Well, it's American.

For sure. Yeah.

Well, because you can tell by the way the corners here are...

Are perfectly square. It is beautiful.

Oh, this stuff is inside.

Oh, my gosh. It's lined, too. Look at that. Wait a minute. You know what? This

is not American.

Wait.

These are... I've heard about this, but it can't

possibly be.

There's a myth about Catalan wine glasses from Barcelona that were... You

how the wine glass can make a sound? Uh -huh.

That they were used like instruments.

Yeah, and you put more water in it, and it makes a different sound. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah. But these, if this can be them, look at this.

But wait.

Because they blew some glasses that had structure inside of the glass.

So as the pitch would change? Yeah. That's ridiculous.

Yeah, it is ridiculous.

Well, there's two more in here.

Yeah, this one just has a, nope, that looks pretty basic too.

But wait, look at this one.

The one has like writing on it, you know? It says English.

Let's see.

Let's see.

Try this one.

It's harder to do. That might be something.

Maybe if it's on the table. Yeah, maybe if it's on the table.

Hold the base, let's see.

See, it said water. Yeah, I never knew they could do that.

It should maybe the other way, because it does in English this way, and then

this should be Spanish. So let's try going backwards.

Agua. Insane. That is so creepy.

Wow. So this is an English -Spanish translation, depending on what is inside

glass. My hand is, like, shaking. Spooky.

It's very spooky. It is.

I was a music major, so the fact that the pitch can change is insane to me. I

mean, it makes sense because even when you form your mouth differently to sing

song or to sing a vowel, you form your mouth differently to form a different

sound. But for it to say something like that is very creepy.

Yeah, there was a myth about... Here, try it.

What's your name? Casey.

Casey? Here, hold your finger in there. Or, yeah, get your fingers in there.

Yeah, like wiggle them in there.

Okay.

Did you say my name? Yeah, the crystal maker originally made one to say his

wife's name.

Just really just on a whim to tell wine glasses apart.

You know the way you would put like a little tag on a glass. Everyone at the

party knows whose glass is whose.

That is insane.

My hands are shaking. I just got hot and my hands are shaking.

Let me see if my manager can help you. Hold on one second.

Hey, can you help this lady?

What was it you were looking for?

Hi, good afternoon.

How you doing?

Hi. I'm here to return the... Oh, sure, sure.

Just check everything's in here.

All right.

Shoes. Yeah. I'm hearing a dog.

Hmm? Am I hearing a dog?

Yeah, it should be, if it's part of it, yeah.

No, actually, I was hearing a dog.

Yeah, yeah. You got the dress and the Toto.

Oh! Okay.

I did not know I had a dog in there.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It comes with Toto.

Oh, my gosh. Isn't that great?

Yeah, a lot of our costumes come with a live element.

Really? Yeah. See, they love it. They're trained to just hang out with the

costumes. When they're born, in their cage, we put costumes.

Okay, okay. So they just learn to be comforted by them. Right. Wherever that

costume go, I go.

Yeah. If he's not around Dorothy's dress, he cries like crazy.

Yeah.

I feel so bad I did not know who he is.

That's all right. I would have took him out. Yeah.

I'm never going to forget this place. Okay, yeah. We're the only one doing it,

so it's like our thing.

And it's working.

It's working.

All right, well, thank you so much.

You have a great day. Do you have the munchkin?

Huh? The little guy?

Evan? Just check if he's in your car.

Really? Yeah.

Oh, hey, how did that work out?

Pretty good.

The apron.

Oh, cool.

Oh,

nice.

Oh, that's great. You got the whole thing.

Yeah, and this here, we're going to leave in that too?

This is yours?

Yeah. No, with the glasses. Oh, these are mine as well.

Come on, we sell this costume.

I just got one return. Hold on, let me show you.

Where did it go?

Yeah.

That's so funny.

This is like how I literally dress in real life.

Wow, yeah.

No, that's why I said it, because I saw your shoes had the one black lace and

the one white lace.

No,

it just comes with the laces.

Like, uh... Those are the laces in here.

But, yeah, it's called Suburban Pimp.

We've been selling a lot of them.

Well, they're, like, ripping you off. Wow.

Here, take a picture. Yeah, I'll take a picture. This is what I'm wearing. Yeah,

what's not exact?

Yeah, this is wild.

Yeah. I mean, this is a panda.

I know, that's why I said it, because I saw the laces on your shoes. I always

mismatch laces.

Really? So this is your own idea?

Totally, dude.

Well, this is... I'm going to have to, like, switch it all up. You should,

because I'm telling you, we sold about, like, 50 of these.

People are going to be, like, walking around like clones. Yeah, I'll take a

picture of you holding that.

Right here, yeah.

Suburban pimp say cheese?

Yeah? Cheese.

Boom. Yeah. Wow.

Dude, that is wild.

That's... So, I'm doing a video.

Yeah. All right, check this out. So, I'm leaving the costume store, and the

guy's like, are you going to just walk out with that whole costume? And I'm

like, what are you talking about? Let's go right here.

Yeah. So, check it out. Then he just shows me this. Hold on. Look at this.

I thought... Panda shirt, white pants, white shoes, black laces, white laces,

and a hat.

All right.

Same thing. I thought he was.

Yeah.

Look at what I'm wearing.

I got DJ Midnight Candle, white pants, and I have different colored laces in my

shoes. Somebody's either ripping you off or you're lying to me and you ripped

this off. No, man. I mean, why is it even the Suburban Pimp? I don't

it. Wow.

Maybe you're like the new Suburban Pimp. Dude, I've liked them like this for a

long time, man.

Wow. Well, somebody's on to you.

That's insane.

And you know what? Just go plug it in.

I'm a key -swinging arcade man.

Need some quarters? There's a machine over there. Good luck.

Have you ever replaced any, like, batteries or changed out machines?

Oh, good. Yeah, this one, we just got the report, was not, none of the kids

winning. So we like to be fair.

I've never won at this game. Yeah.

We like at least, like, one out of every 20 or so to win. So we're going to

replace the M module.

Okay. All of these that are manually operated are M module games.

This is in here.

Yeah, if these are all stabbed through, if one slips out, it'll start to jack up

in pain. Here, let me close this.

Just grab a flashlight out of here.

Shine it right at that.

That is bizarre.

No, because they're all going through.

Do take out the bulb.

Yeah, I'll take it.

Yeah, go ahead and hold on.

Yeah.

How long have you worked here for? Oh, my God.

You only do this? Yeah, it's too long.

Please, yeah.

All right.

Let me unlock that here.

Go check that key.

Unlock that.

See if it gets temperamental and the kids start winning on it. So they get

They do. They get mad.

You all right in there? Hey, hey. Up, up, up, up. Hey, hey, hey. Come here.

Hey, buddy.

Full of energy now, aren't you?

What? See, that does not make sense to me.

You should still be working.

Is he really in? What?

There's a monkey in there? I did not know that.

Yeah. These machines, they don't, like, you aren't controlling.

Oh, okay, I didn't know that. Yeah, like the monkey controlled what you're

doing. Oh, I did not know that. Yeah, no, because, yeah. So how long was he

there? Well, until he stopped working well, you know?

Or he stopped letting people win. Then we just replaced him.

Well, what's freaking me out is those things were in there, and how'd that big

old monkey, that big, come out of there?

What do you mean?

No, these.

These were all the way through, right? Yeah.

But how'd that monkey come in there?

Oh, they train them.

Hey, how are you? Good.

What's your name? Courtney. Hi, Courtney. Michael.

You helping us out here today?

Yeah. All right, great. We always have to, like, try and section off which

machines can be on which breaker box because for some reason these two

are, like, shorting each other out.

Yeah, so I'm going to try and figure that out here. Will you hold the light?

Okay.

Let's see what's going on in here.

Huh.

Yeah.

Yeah,

there's a light working.

Well, that doesn't look good.

A battery? That's bizarre.

Yeah, and you know what? Just go plug it in. Try plugging it in.

Okay.

No, dangling wires can't be good.

You know, just go plug it in. Try plugging it in.

Okay.

No, I don't know. Well, dangling wires can't be good.

I just... I got through.

Oh, my gosh. This one's connected.

What's the crap?

Can you get the key in there? Oh, my gosh.

Where's the key? Is there a key in there?

Can you... No.

Oh, my gosh.

No,

no, I'm okay. Oh, my gosh. I got zapped. How did you get in there?

Wow. Okay. Yeah, that is bizarre. Oh, my gosh.

Wait, what's...

Was I in here? You were in here.

Wait, hold on. How did you get out? Hold on a minute.

Wait a minute. What's the crap?

Wait a minute, what the... Are you okay?

No, because it said closed on you and I tried to get it open.

I know, but I went in here.

Right. And then this closed. Yeah.

And then I heard a noise.

Uh -huh.

Flash of light. Uh -huh. And then I'm...

When did I go in here? I don't know.

Did I just zone out? I don't know what happened.

How did... How did you get in there?

That's what I don't understand.

Am I... Because you were freaking in there.

I know. And then I got zapped and then I was... Oh,

God.

I thought you died.

What? I thought you died.

Okay, so it's working again?

This is my flashlight.

How did you... I don't even... I think that... I just remember I'm, like, in

this machine, and then it was, like, a zap. There was a siren in there. I was,

like, covered in stuff animals.

What?

No.

That is... That's, like, the weirdest thing I've ever felt.

No, I know. This has got to be... This is the whole problem with this whole

place, you know?

Here, close that down.

They're, like...

They're too interconnected, all of the machines, and then what happens is one

can transfer over to the other.

So you like teleported.

I guess, like through electricity, you know how that can happen. You ever hear

of the Carbonaro effect?

No. There's too much power on one side, so it sucks the power up to the other

side.

The Carbonaro effect, have you not heard of that? Nope.

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

Did you just do magic? I don't know.

Like the one you're on right now?

What the crap is this? This is a TV show. No, this is bullcrap.

Oh, you did so good. I'm so sorry. I'm kidding.

God saved me. Oh, my God.

Courtney saved me.
