Michael Carbonaro here. I am coming to you from Chicago, and I'm going to try

something a little different.

I've taken over a diner, okay?

I'm going to have the host seat the next real customer that comes in right next

to me, and I'm just going to try and mind my own business, just have a little

lunch or breakfast here in a Chicago diner. All right, here we go.

There you go. All right, thank you.

Oh, no pickles?

I'm not going to eat them. I'll just

clean.

You're going to eat the burger clean, so.

Yeah.

I've just never seen any pickles before.

It's like a Cuban sandwich, right? Is that what it is with pickles? Yeah.

Yeah. That's a crazy one.

Yeah, it's crazy, man. It's like a triple quinoa sandwich.

Some of them have a name for them.

So just, I would say, no pickles.

Like a pound of pickles.

Yeah.

Take all the flavor out of the meat, you know.

Okay.

We'll do it.

Just one.

Just one. Yeah.

What's the burger that you already called?

The regular house burger. House burger.

I think it's...

Honestly, I think they do what they're doing.

I think he needs it.

Yeah.

Some chefs get really upset when you, like, make any substitutions on there.

I should have tasted it before I decided that it didn't need, you know, what the

chef said that it needed.

I guess he's right. Yeah.

Show me how to...

It's good.

I have to say, it's very good.

Just watch my hands off.

Can I

get a little more

coffee? Of course.

Thank you.

There you go. Nice.

Do you want any cream?

Actually, steamed milk.

Steamed milk.

coffee and steamed milk.

There's a pretty amazing beer there. Thanks, man.

Yeah, it's really distinct.

Pretty good, man.

That's bizarre.

I was trying to get the beer, but I need like a bigger cup.

Yeah, I couldn't get that.

I was trying to make this like...

All right. Thank you.

Sorry.

I think it was a little undercoat.

Right, yeah, but it was just, it was still sizzling, I think.

Did you see that?

I did.

Oh my gosh.

I don't know, that's the craziest shit I've ever seen.

I'm just going to use the bathroom, maybe wash my hands.

Touch that.

I'll tell you if we're to stay.

Holy... What?

It really did just... Look, look, there's nothing on there. I'm not

And the guy jumped.

The safe.

Literally, I...

This is not a Friday 13th.

Wow.

I didn't see anything.

I saw a snake literally jump off.

Sorry? Your snake jumped off the... It slided.

What happened?

I'll tell you the whole thing. You're lucky to see it or you might have

Because you saw it moving.

But this one today literally slid out when that door was open.

I'm not kidding with you.

It really did that. What?

I'm standing here.

Your steak failed on you. Are you serious?

You didn't hear the scream?

I thought somebody fell.

No, that was the cook. Dude, it ran up on him. I'm serious.

I'm going vegan. How about you? Yeah, after that.

Ah, nature. The smell of the air, the birds chirping, the hidden cameras.

I see you.

And welcome to the nature walk.

Yeah, this would be nice for a bike rider to come even take a run. Excellent

bike riding. Over here is one of my favorite, you know, point lookout, I

it. The perennials come in, and that gives a nice flow for the bees. We try

keep those doing what they do. And also, oh.

My gosh, would you look at that?

The rounded thing you're looking at? Yeah, do you see what that is right

Is that a mushroom?

That is not just a mushroom. That is a Kremlin mushroom.

But they can be quite dangerous.

But I'm going to, yeah, I mean, this is just. Not like a Grateful Dead kind of

experience mushroom, right? Just make you sick to your stomach.

You see how deep that was in the ground?

Okay, yeah. That was way deeper in the ground than it looked like, wasn't it?

Yeah. And they're unispor mushroom.

They're just laying flat. You don't want to touch the stalk. That's why the hole

that it leaves.

You know, the hole that it leaves in the ground is just a little... Oh.

There's another one. They pop up very quickly.

Are you serious? Did that just happen while I was sitting here talking? Yep.

Single spore, double mushroom. Each one of those. And every spore can have

another spore. So that's why you see the crinkly skin inside there like that. I

mean, they'll pop up faster than... There's another one stuck on your foot.

Look at that.

Okay, you know what it is. Yeah, well, there's the stalk, right? Is that it?

That is it. I don't know, is that another stalk?

Oh, they're just kind of poking up. Yeah, see how quick they pop up like

You have to be careful. Don't touch them.

I will tell you that. That's the one thing I don't want you to do is touch

Never touch the stalk.

Here, I'm going to pull my shoe off here.

That is... Oh, wow.

You know, they'll root right through the leather. Here, I'm going to pop that

off like that.

Oh, my gosh. Would you look at that?

That has like a dirtier pattern to it. Do you see that? Yeah, it definitely

looks different.

And you can see the bottom of that stalk right there, right?

Yep.

That's another uni stalk. That is just... My gosh.

Whoa. Dude, look at your shoe.

Holy... Oh... Wow.

Holy... My gosh.

Okay. That is...

I don't want to touch... That is... Dude, did you just ruin your shoes?

I'm not going to wear these shoes anymore.

I'm telling you right now.

Dude, I've never seen anything like that. That's a Kremli. That's why

very dangerous. People have been known to have these sprout up all over their

skins. They'll come through the pores, and that's what they do.

Dude, they're coming out of your glasses. Right on out of here, right?

glasses. My glasses? They're coming out...

Oh my gosh. Okay. You know what? I'm going to, let me throw these. I'm going

throw these away. Dude, your whole back. What? Oh my gosh. Okay. Okay. Get them

off me. Get some water and throw it on me.

I need water. Okay. I don't have any. I can run and get it in there. Yeah. You

stay right here for just one second. I'll splash at the fountain. I'll be

back. Just stay.

Oh, the cuffs of your shoes. Ow.

Oh, ow.

I'm staying the hell out of it.

Oh, here's some water. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

Okay. You all right?

Yeah, dude, they were coming out of your glasses, and you turned around, and

they were all coming out of your jacket. I was like, what the?

Yeah. I felt like I was having a weird LSD trip, to be honest with you, dude.

was nuts.

You all right?

Yeah, that was just, like, that was wild.

Yeah, that was.

It was almost scary, like I thought you were going to turn into a giant

mushroom, and it looked like it might have happened, because it was growing.

was getting bigger. Yeah.

Wow, dude. Yeah. Dude, I should have got that on YouTube, man. If I would have

been filming that, that's a million hits right there. Oh, man.

Well, I have good news, though.

What's that?

It was recorded.

Because this is a hidden camera TV show.

Are you kidding me? Called The Carbonaro Effect.

Holy. I'm a magician.

Wow. Are you serious? I'm serious. You're on the TV show right now. Because

was about to... My pants right there.

I was waiting for it to start growing on my feet.

Dude. Dude, I said, this is going to start coming out of the skin. You better

get nine... I swore again.

You're going to... Oh, my God.

This area here is a nice little place to take photos from.

And I don't know if you saw, I had this on our... Oh, wow. Did you not see this?

No. That's a giant tomato hornworm. Oh, really?

And as we notice the environment changes, we're studying the patterns of

the animal's instincts are changing to.

Camouflage evolves.

You know, you can see, you know, for example, you might look in the brush and

see, you know, you see stuff on the ground all the time. There's the sticks

little pieces, cigarette butts and band -aids. This, for example, here, you see

that? Yeah. What does that look like? It looks like a...

A wrapper.

It's some kind of wrapper, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's an excellent, I mean, this

pattern, we might see an animal take on that pattern because if it's put out

into the environment.

To adapt to it. Exactly, it would adapt to it. So we wouldn't even know. Yeah.

You know, that's what we notice is around. And there's a little test that

when you hold it in your hand and you just see, I've seen a little movement.

see that? Yeah.

And you just give it a little, and look at that, it'll fly away.

And it looks like a wrapper, and we wouldn't know that it's a butterfly.

That was really a butterfly?

Yeah, to my trained eye, I can see because I saw a little movement on it.

you see that? No way!

That's so cool!

Right? I thought that was a complete wrapper. I thought it was a wrapper.

Sure did.

Well, it's trying to make itself look like a wrapper.

Yeah! You know?

I just can't believe that was a butterfly.

That is crazy to me. I cannot believe that would look just like a wrapper. It

does. It looks exactly like it. It feels a little softer.

You know, we adapt too. Yeah, that's so crazy.

I mean, that's so cool.

Nature really finds a way.

Yeah, you're looking around for more walking sticks and stuff. This is one of

them, I think.

Yeah, these are very hard to tell because they're actually getting into

mimicry. You know, where...

The patterns, you know, like a newspaper, yeah.

Like this is a difficult thing for something to mimic, right?

You feel it. To the animal, it's just a pattern. We recognize that ad as

newsprint. We would see that.

If you brought it, you know, somewhere where it might want to live, you might

see an animal that would come and mimic something like that.

That's why something can look like a wrapper.

I mean, look, if we were to take this and just give it a toss, you would see.

And you can still see some of the... Look at that.

I don't even... What?

I can't believe that's a bird.

Yeah.

Wow.

But now, have you felt a bird's wing before?

No, I've never... Well, when you felt that paper, you could feel... Yeah, it

felt like paper.

No, it was a lot silkier. You don't feel a silky...

I don't know. I don't build newspaper that much.

And they know that.

So you might even go over and touch it and just toss it on by.

But that's why we have in the park, if we do clean up the park, we make sure to

separate our garbage. You know, we'll separate recycling.

We'll separate the natural waste and then also any camouflaged animals.

And we'll put them right back out here. How?

I just, I'm, I'm blown. My mind is blown away. I can't believe that happened.

Yeah.

What the?

What the?

Holy moly.

Oh, my God.

Holy moly.

Holy.

Okay. Take a good look at me.

Would you follow me into an old medical records room?

Do I have that kind of a trusting faith?

They're going to renovate this room, but this whole building is becoming more of

a party environment where they cater parties.

I know Chicago used to be the first people to either invent or update the

x -ray and the MRI machines, and all those doctors started here.

So they're going to have a party downstairs, and they just wanted to pull

of their old x -rays to put on display.

Okay, cool.

Show you here. They gave me this and this is what I'm trying to figure out.

is the only part that's x -rays Okay, okay, that's right And then what we're

looking for is this one from 72 to 73 So if I nail any of those numbers, those

are ones we want to keep. Okay. Yeah, so that's pretty cool. Okay Yeah, I'll

just go over on this side.

The first one was up here. Wait They had these rips

This one's like

1068 is there a 1068 on there?

1068, no.

No? I'm so high.

Would you grab my soda?

Yes. Both or?

Oh, it's a regular one. Not orange.

Yeah. Pleasure. A Coke and a Sunkiss? Yeah.

Nice.

Here we go.

Just put that right there. Right here?

Yeah.

Okay. Wait, I'm going to try and turn this on. I'll be able to see.

Would you just click the...

Switch right there? Yeah. There you go. Whoa. Nope.

Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Hold on.

Whoa. Yikes.

What was that noise?

I think this machine went off. All right. My heart went really fast. No, I

The lights went off. What's going on?

Let me see the drink.

Hold on.

What's the... What?

What the... Holy moly. Dude.

Holy moly. That is weird.

Holy...

Oh, my God. Holy schnapps, dude.

I don't even want to touch it. I just touched it.

You touched it? Yes.

It got to be something like.

What did it do?

Dude, that was a Coke.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the cup was not clear.

Right, it was like that one.

What did it, like, wipe it out?

Did it like fade it out or something?

Do you see this?

No, yeah, look at it.

But how the hell did that happen? I guess it's like an X. That must be like

-ray taking the thing. Did this go off?

Imagine what it does to the flesh, Tommy. Right, what it's doing to your

right? I don't think we should be drinking that.

Wow. Oh, my God, dude. I got to show this to Tommy.

Dude, nobody's going to believe. Who's going to believe? No, I'm going to take

picture of it. I'm going to take a picture of it. Here, hold this up. Okay.

Okay, here we go.

Yeah, but you know the reason it makes is crazy because I place the pop right

there We want to notice that if I pop wasn't right there, you know, that's

really weird.

Oh Wow, that's crazy.

No one's gonna believe that what I feel like it's like I don't know where to

start. I just like and we're okay, right? No. No. Yeah, I'm fine my tongue

Don't move don't move

So both of those are going off at once. Wow, one.

Dude, so your body just went through the Carbonaro effect.

Do you know what that is?

No. Do you know what the Carbonaro effect is? No.

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