All language subtitles for the_carbonaro_effect_s03e00_double_takes_special

Hey, Michael Carbonaro here, and thank
you for joining me for a special episode

where we're trying something brand new.

You know, some people don't know this,
but often I shoot my trick several times

to see how different people will react.

What you may not know is that many times
we have several versions of the same

trick that are so good, we end up
arguing about which one should air. In

end, one wins out. But tonight, I want
to show you the very best of the

alternative version in a special we are
calling Double Take.

And first up, let me see the drink.
Okay.

You may remember Brian here.

Holy moly. We convinced him that our
crazy x -ray machine was making

see -through, including him.

I just, I can't see myself in the
mirror.

I can't see myself.

I can see through your body. No, you
can't.

No, it's not at all, man.

Well, he wasn't the only person who got
the vampire treatment.

All right, seriously, man, what the f***
are you doing? Because now I'm not, I

don't see my reflection in there.

Can I have my soda? We tried this on
four other people, but Tremont here was

standout. And he had a moment of
reflection as well.

Okay. Click that switch.

Yeah, turn that power off. Turn it off.
Oh, no.

No, no, no, no.

Sorry, did you flip that?

No, I didn't touch it. Flip it back?

I didn't touch anything.

Did I just do that?

Yeah. Is it because we both touched it?
I literally just did like this. That's

what I did. I felt like a shark.

Maybe we have superpowers now.

What's that? I said maybe we have
superpowers.

Holy.

What's that?

Huh? Do you see that?

Whoa.

Dude.

Oh my gosh.

What the hell?

Dude, I'm freaked out right now. No,
yeah, that's like really creepy.

I mean, it like wiped the color out of
it.

That just freaked me out.

Here, hold on. I'm taking a picture of
that, dude.

Okay.

Smile.

Wow.

I'm kind of scared now, just because I'm
like, I hope nothing, like, there's no,

like, effects from that just happening.
Oh, no, no, it's not gonna, I mean,

there's wires everywhere, but that's not
gonna make, like, the thing. Ooh, I

just did that. Sorry, that was me, that
was me, that was me, that was me. I kick

it with my foot.

There we go, there we go, there we go.
See?

I can click it with my foot.

What the?

Your body. It's like I can see through
your body for a second.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.
Seriously, seriously.

Okay. Hold on.

That was really weird. I like literally
saw through your body for a second

there. You're messing with me. I am not
messing with you. Dude, when you were

standing there, I was like looking and I
could see that box.

What? That is really weird.

What the heck just happened?

My heart is beating like crazy right
now.

Okay, just don't touch that anymore
because... Did you feel that? Yeah, I

like my, like, felt like vibrations and
stuff.

Yeah.

Oh, my God. Oh, I saw the picture of the
cup like this.

Dude, look at that.

Like, you can't even see your body in
there.

That is messed up stuff.

Do you feel okay?

No, I still kind of feel tingly.

Hold on one second. Will you stay right
there?

Oh, come on, man.

Whoa. I pulled the cord out and in.

I'm going to unplug. Hold on. Let me
just... Don't touch any buttons.

I just... This thing is... Okay, that's
back on. Freaking me out, man.

See, but this thing's not even plugged
in here. That doesn't make sense.

I don't know, but I disappeared for a
quick second up here, and it just kind

freaked me out a little bit.

Wait, what do you mean?

Like, literally, like, disappeared, and
it, like, came back on.

Like my image, yeah.

Really? Like the Carbonaro effect?

Like, you know, when they double layer
an x -ray and it becomes transparent?

The Carbonaro effect?

Oh, yeah.

You never heard of that?

Is that what happened? Yeah. It's also
the name of a hidden camera magic TV

show.

Like the one you're on right now?

No way.

Yes way.

Oh my God, dude.

Michael Carbonaro. Nice to meet you.
You're on my TV show right now, The

Carbonaro Effect.

Oh, man.

Dude, what were you thinking?

I'm like, what the fuck just happened?

What did it look like, really, though?

Literally, I just completely
disappeared, and then when it came back

back up. I'm like... You're there now?

You okay? And our cup is back?

So will you be on my TV show?

I'd love to be on your TV show. Good,
you're right. Now, wave there and say

Dude, you're awesome.

Oh, my God. You're awesome.

I'm still trembling right now.

Fun fact, our crazy x -ray machine was
actually just a surgical light, a fact

that I learned today.

Okay, moving on.

All right, it's all five in there. Yeah.
Who could forget this guy's reaction

when five little frogs transformed
before his very eyes?

Wait a minute.

What's that?

Where are all the frogs?

Well, earlier in the day, I also showed
these exotic frogs to Alini here.

There you go.

Doesn't that feel funny?

Well, I don't blame him.

Yeah. I mean, they like being next to
each other.

Aw, he didn't budge at all. Yeah, they
grew up together, so. Aw.

They like the work of the team.

That is so cute.

Okay, and then if you just hold them
like this.

Okay, so just put your hand over the
top.

Yeah, like that, and hold like that.
Okay.

You got him? Yeah, I got him. Okay,
okay, don't squish him. Oh, I want, I

I want. You're going to leave him there?
Okay, like that. That's perfect. Okay,

good.

Sorry about that.

Why are you apologizing?

I just hate the mess.

Don't worry.

Yeah, it's allowed.

Yeah. Okay. They get scared easily. Are
they okay? I think so. He's all right.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. What happened?
What happened? Why is it a huge frog

right now?

What? It's a huge frog.

Oh, yes. Oh, my gosh. That's my fault. I
made the sound.

What does that mean?

That's a defense mechanism that they'll
do. And they become one huge frog? Yeah,

it's like a defense mechanism.

How is that even possible in nature?

Well, because what they'll do is like,
you know how like a blowfish will puff

up? For defense, these guys, when
something scares them, they'll all

together to one predator.

Well, wow.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I'm like
ignorant when it comes to froggy.

I've learned so much working here. It's
like, holy moly. I just had a freak

moment. I'm sorry because I didn't. I
thought I was either.

I mean, I'm just stunned by that. And
that's just that size. I mean, if four

them huddle together like this and they
all get threatened, then those four can

huddle together to an even bigger one.
Oh, my gosh.

That's wild, right? It is. So there's
like frogs within the frog.

There's frogs within the frog, yeah.

Right. Wow.

You know, I was going to make a frog
joke here, but sometimes my jokes can

off a bit cheesy, or so I've been told.

Okay, when we come back, thanks for
helping me out here today. Not a

We'll head to the video arcade.

Okay. Where it's anything but fun and
games for this guy.

Hey, Michael Carbonaro here. Welcome
back to a special that takes a look at

new reactions to some of your favorite
tricks from our show.

Now for this one, we go all the way back
to season one, for Courtney here.

Are you still alive?

She helped me out with an electrical
problem, but ended up getting the shock

her life.

What the crap?

Oh my God. Are they here?

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

Well, earlier that day, I also worked
with Jamie here.

A lot of the machines are separated onto
different breakers, and if two of them

are on the same breaker, they both keep
shorting out. Who found our arcade not

so amusing?

And we'll try and troubleshoot this
here.

Can you hold this for a second?

Oh,

there we go.

Okay. Okay.

There it is.

You got it?

All right. Wait, wait, hang on a second.
Oh, you know what it is?

Yeah, and you don't just go go plug it
in try plugging it in

Yeah,

how do I get you out?

Hey, Mike, where's the last?

This one, this is it.

That's it.

This circuit, the circuit's in here.

Wait a minute.

Can you open this up?

There's a key that goes here.

Oh, there's a key in the cart.

Yeah.

That's got to be what it is.

Yeah, can you open that?

Yeah, you know what it is? This one is
pulling all of this one's power. No,

you were in there.

Yeah. When did you get out?

Well, this one, this one has, this one
is taking the power.

No, I'm talking about, I'm sorry, well,
go ahead.

Because I saw you inside there and you
came out here.

I know, this is what I'm trying to
explain to you. This one is drawing all

this one's power.

So if this machine, if someone's playing
this machine at its full capacity, this

one's going to try and suck it right up.

All right. So right off this moment,
there was a small breaker there. And so

when I plugged it in, a siren sound
started dropping slowly, and you were

there.

Are you still inside here right now? Am
I still inside here right now? Yeah,

because I swear you were in here when it
closed.

You want to open this back up?

Yeah, I don't want to stand near it.
Would you open it back up?

All right, so... All right, so plug it
up, and we'll... If the power is going

here like it should, plug it up, and
I'll show you exactly what happens. I'm

just nervous about these wires coming
out, because when I was in it, I touched

my hand to it, and then I felt, like,
electricity, and then I heard you

Yeah. And then a siren, and then I...
Yeah, that sound came on, for sure.

I must have gotten shocked, because I
don't remember you locking me inside of

this one.

I did it.

I did not. I have no idea how you got
inside there.

Maybe because they're both pulling from
the same power?

Mm -hmm.

You've seen that before when something
can transfer over, you know,

electrically? What do they call that?

The Carbonaro effect?

I would not have quoted that, but yes.
Right, it's going to transmit over to

other side.

Okay, so...

That's the Carbonaro effect.

When it goes from one side to the other,
even if it's with a person, as crazy as

that is.

It makes sense.

It does?

Yeah.

Carbonaro effect is also the name of a
hidden camera magic TV show.

What if I told you you were on that show
right now? I would die.

Don't die.

Don't get electrocuted.

Oh, my God.

My name is Michael Carbonaro, and you're
on my show right now, The Carbonaro

Effect.

Oh, my God.

Who knew getting shocked and waking up
in a giant claw machine could be so much

fun the second time?

Moving on. The thread pulls down on a
spiral -spoken side.

We all remember these lovely ladies from
the antique market who were fascinated

by our shirt -making trunks.

Look at that. It is the tail of the
shirt.

Think of the hours I spend on my sewing
machine.

Well, we also showed this unique item to
this curious couple.

You buy local fabrics, and then they
would just do it. So this way, it feeds

right through here.

And I've got the matching threads going
for you.

And that up.

And then handle on the bottom.

There we go.

Yeah.

I didn't want to mess with any of the
original parts. I did put a little bit

grease on it. That's it, a non -Molly
grease.

Get that through.

Make it a little jam.

There.

Then, yeah, it does a pretty good job.

Get a scissor.

There you go.

And all the buttons in place.

Yep, they got it all. And it closes the
themes, too.

I'm going to try it on and see how I
did.

Did you really just sew that?

I don't sew. I mean, I don't sew.

No, but what she's asking is, what is
the trick to this?

I think that there's like a gear.

There's something about spokes, right?
And that's what the word, I think, spoke

comes from, because it'll grab the
threads.

No one knows how it does it, but... You
just put plain fabric in there. Plain

fabric. It won't do denim or suede. The
needle will break. You set all the

buttons on and everything? It does the
buttons, yeah. You load the buttons up

through the top, and you can change the
buttons out.

There's a chamber that they drop inside
of, and then this is sleeve thread and

collar, and the base, what, a base loop
stitch or something across here, just

from these two. But if you learn it, the
other settings...

It can do like a blouse or there's an
elastic through here to make tight

Wow. That's great.

That's pretty cool. Yeah.

Like how did that fit on your sleeve?

Pretty good.

Was it good? Yeah. Like where would you
want to adjust it?

I don't think I would. Probably wouldn't
adjust it. You wouldn't adjust

anything? It was a good one?

Yeah. It'll remake it to a single dart
in the back, which I like.

I don't like the two because it puffs
out.

So if you feed it back in, and this one
you just used this thread to here.

And you put the thread, you wrap it
around?

Yeah, it's going to click to the back of
the neck on it, like there.

And then, yeah.

It cranks a little bit harder when it's
going through a circuit already, so

that's the only part.

And then it will fix the...

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry. I was going to let you
go home with this shirt, and then I...

I might be back.

Okay, great.

Long story short, he did come back, but
only to sign his release form to be on

the show.

Okay, when we return... Did you make a
noise?

It made a noise.

It definitely made a noise.

We revisit the mysterious shape
-shifting plant.

It looks like flesh.

And get one of the biggest reactions of
all time.

Oh, hell no.

Anthony!

Hey, Michael Carbonaro here with more
brand new footage in our double take

special, which gives you a second look
at some of your favorite tricks from our

show. And boy, oh boy, have we saved the
best for last.

Like bizarro Christmas.

Whoa, what is that?

Now, all of you surely remember the
trick we did where a mysterious plant

changing its appearance based on what it
touched.

Dude, that was red before, right? The
whole thing was, yeah, it was like a

thistle -topped. That is so awesome and
kind of creepy at the same time.

Well, earlier that night, I worked with
Anthony here.

And while he played it cool in the
beginning, this trick definitely grew on

What the heck is going on?

I don't know. Keep it away from me. Did
you see that? Yes, keep it away from me.

All right.

That is so weird.

Wow. It just like ate the orange.

No, this is the orange.

What the hell is this thing?

That's whacked.

I've never seen anything like that.

Does it say anything from where it's
from?

Okay, a Cuban assimilatory Persea plant.

Assimilatory.

All right. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah,
I know he was working on stuff like

medical. I've never seen anything like
that.

What does it say?

It can adapt, wait a minute, a form of
plant life that could provide symbiotic

bacteria to assimilate with carbon
-based life forms and adapt.

Similar cellular growth.

That's so weird.

So something can, like a chameleon, I
guess, right? That is really gross.

Hey, I didn't know anyone else was still
here.

Oh, yeah.

Hi, I'm Danielle.

Anthony. Is this your first date? Yeah.
Oh, that's awesome.

Come here. You've got to see this thing.
We found this thing. We didn't know

what it was. It had like, it like, he
touched that one with that and it like.

And then the tip of this one turned to
the same.

See how the front of the orange, see how
the front of that is? Oh, no. It's not.

It's not like it.

It's not so much. Yeah, don't touch
that. Don't touch that. No, no. Wait,

wait. You just did. She just did. Sorry.

She just touched it. Did you? Yeah.

I barely touched it.

All right. Okay.

I'm going to go. Yeah.

Okay. I'll wash my hands. I'm just going
to. I'll wash my hands. Thank you.

Yeah, yeah. I'll just pack up the stuff.
We'll just label it or something and

pack it up. I don't want to. You guys
have a good night. You got it. Okay.

All right.

I say we skip this one.

I think I'm just going to forget about
this one. We're not going to write this

one down? Well, we can put the thing in,
but I don't really want to do much more

with it. Yeah, we could put that inside
there. Yeah, I wouldn't want to.

So finish writing that up.

All right, so then we'll put that in
with the plant.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah, we'll just tuck it underneath
the... Oh, my God, that's a big one.

Wow. Do you see how fast that just grew?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Don't open it up. Why?

This is amazing.

That is really creepy.

It's the most fantastic thing I've ever
seen. Something that can grow that

quickly. Wow. I'm going to put gloves
on. You're fine. Don't worry. You don't

have to touch it.

Wow.

This is, and it's very light for how big
it is.

This is creepy as shit. Yeah.

You know what? I'll move it over to
here.

This will be our workspace. We'll leave
that over there.

Oh, my God. Yeah, and I won't make you
touch it. Don't worry.

Are you okay?

Ridiculous.

You know what? Here, I'll clear this
off.

We'll leave that there.

I'm just going to keep it down here on
this table.

Yeah, and then we'll have them deal with
that.

You know what I'm saying?

Sure. Okay.

That's insane.

Did that just do that after she touched
it?

Do what?

Got big like that.

Well, yeah. If that turns into a person,
like... Well, because that one, like,

turned into an orange.

She touched that with her skin.

The skin of that touched that. All
right, all right, all right. You're like

-cray. Come here.

Look how big that thing is. Yeah, it is
pretty big.

Let's just water our seeds here. Sure.

Do you have that thing?

Did you hear that?

All right, that's still moving.

Is it moving? Yes, I'm done. I saw that,
right? Yes, I'm done. Oh, no, no, no,

don't leave me. Oh, no, let's go. Come
on. Should we leave? Yes. It just moved.

No, it didn't. Yes, it did. It's fine.

Don't leave me, Anthony.

Come on. No, Anthony, please.

You are insane.

It's just a plant.

No, but that's going to, like, eat you.

Just... Don't worry. We don't have to
touch it. I promise.

Oh, my God.

I am, like, tripping. Yeah, don't worry.
Don't worry.

Like, this is... We don't have to touch
it.

We'll just hang at the table. I have not
ate acid in forever, so, like, this is

just not normal.

Yeah, well, I mean, I've seen some
pretty fascinating things in this place,

me tell you. There's plants that move.

There's plants that make sounds.

Plants that eat people.

No, not eat people.

Someone's going to want to probably do
some research on this, that's for sure.

And I don't know where it came from.

Whoa.

Did you see that?

Wow.

Whoa.

Do you see this?

Anthony, look at this. Why are you still
at that? Because this is beautiful.

Look at this. Yeah, that's gorgeous. Do
you see this? I don't want to see it.

It looks like a human... It looks
like...

Oh, hell no.

Hey, welcome back to the Carbonaro
Effect double take special.

When last we left you, Anthony was just
about done with our living plant head

lady thing. So let's jump back in.

It looks like a human. It looks like
flesh.

Oh, hell no.

How did it do? It's like it assimilated
a face. Anthony, this is beautiful.

Oh, hell no.

Get the f*** out of here.

No, don't run away.

Oh, my God.

That's going to turn into a person and
eat you.

Let's go.

Anthony.

And there he goes.

But don't worry. We told him outside
that shape -shifting plants don't really

exist.

But you know what? That's the fun of
performing these tricks in front of real

people. You just never know what kind of
reaction you're going to get. And hey,

we're glad sometimes we get great ones
twice.

I hope you enjoyed Double Takes, and
thanks for watching.
