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

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.

Calisthenic karate.

You ward off your opponent by using a moron.

All right. Have you studied before?

I have not. Okay. Now we're going to support our diaphragm here. Okay. And

he -ya.

He -ya? Yeah. And just explode the air. Shut!

Oh, wow. That's so cool.

Strength is from the yell. Okay. Okay, so let's give it a try.

That's really good.

Really, really good. Okay, I'm going to show you how we do simple focus

fighting. You can step over here in front of the table.

All right.

We're just focusing your eye contact on a little piece of paper and connecting

the voice together here.

Yeah, one step back so you can see it. See, I focus on that paper, okay?

So my hands are in as if they punched out.

Then I pull in.

You see how I do that?

Now I'm going to connect the voice to the paper and get...

Okay?

And it really helps to amp it up like that, to really bring it up. It's called

crescendoing vibrato. Okay, so I'm going to teach you how to do that.

Okay. You want to come on that? Yeah, come around over here.

Because I like to think that it's the open area you want to be able to look at

and not get yourself stuck in the wall. And with this one, because it's

reversed, but I'm going to have you try this with a meditation candle.

Because it's very easy to see even the slightest vibration in the flicker of

flame.

Put it just like that.

Yeah, there we go. That's a good position.

Very good. The flame of the candle. You're looking at the flame of the

Flame of the candle. Let's start to get that sound going.

Keep it building.

Really connect.

And when you feel it.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, my God. That's so crazy.

Don't do that to me. Oh, my God.

How did you? What were you?

You're a natural. Where are you from?

You're glad.

Sorry. You're glad.

I'm broken.

Oh, God.

That is awesome. Oh, my.

For a beginner, that's really good.

Right.

Hi. Hi.

Is this lunch?

Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Golden Buddha.

Oh, wow, you guys are fast.

I thought I was meditating too long there. Okay.

Yes, you put this right here.

Hold on to that for a second.

I keep all my restaurant coupons over here.

I thought I separated it before I started meditating.

I'm pretty sure I have one in here.

I'm sorry, hold on.

Golden Buddha? Yeah. Okay.

Golden Buddha?

Yeah, Golden Buddha.

It's free lunch.

Oh, but this expire.

Oh. Expire?

2010.

Oh.

Well,

I could just pay cash if you want. Is cash okay?

Try this one. This is a fun one. It's a little bit of connecting back and forth,

one person to another. I'll stand right here. You stand right there. Good. But

what happens a lot of times when things are weighing us down, you know, we're

twisted, we're nervous, we get anxious, we huddle, right? We huddle up. The idea

is to really feel as tall as possible, right? Yeah, you did that right.

Shoulders go up and down. You feel how tall you are? Yes. Okay. Now, just for a

visualization, step up on the blocks, okay? Can you step up on the blocks?

Sure.

Right, and face me.

Good. Do you feel how tall you are here? Yes. Do you feel how the room looks?

Yes. Okay, good. Now step down.

Now what you want to do is recreate that same feeling of being up on those

blocks, okay? So it's like instead of huddling down, you stand up straight. Do

you remember how the room looked, the awareness of the room before?

Yes. You bend your knees down and come up and try and remember what that felt

like when you were up there. You can just feel yourself slowly, fine.

Your way up.

And just what the perspective of the room looks like, letting my body feel

You see?

Oh, my gosh.

Do you feel tall?

Wait.

How did you get up there?

Well, it's not about being up or down.

Okay. We have to be very clear about that. Okay. It's about breathing the

air. It's about feeling.

Your perspective change, right? Okay. Okay. So let's try this again. Breathe

And then feel yourself coming back down.

Oh, my God. Right. See, there is no up on the blocks. There is no down off the

block. It's the perspective of where we feel we are living from. Really? Yeah.

So what is it like? Just meditation?

It's a meditation type thing.

Oh, wow.

Allowing you to understand that your thoughts are on a higher plane than the

world is You know if things are on a high shelf, you'll be able to take them

down just by thinking about taking them down It's not about how high is the

shelf. It's about if I were up on that shelf. I can take it down right and then

You'd be able to take it down

It's actually harder to fool kids, right?

They're, like, looking at everything.

It's a challenge. I can do it.

What do you got?

You making all the bracelets?

Necklaces?

Oh, fun.

Oh, yeah, someone just brought us one of these.

Lucky wish frogs?

Uh -huh. Hey, hold on to that. You feel how he bounces when you play with him?

Would you wear something like that?

They're cool, right?

What did she say? That's a no. That's a no?

I love them. I keep this little guy on here and I just like... Wait, was that

real?

Yeah.

That's why I love them, you know? You can wear them all day and then... Is

real? Yeah.

It's not until you take them off.

It's a defense mechanism that they do, because they get nervous.

But he'll clamp his little mouth in there like that, and then he'll hold on.

Do that.

And once he clamps on, he'll just stay. Wait, wait, wait.

That's his defense mechanism.

No. Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. See?

Strangest thing I've ever seen.

Yeah. But you could wear it. That's what's so fun about it. Wait, wait,

wait, wait.

You know?

They're from Mexico.

You can still feel that it's real. You feel them?

Oh, my God. They're so cool.

I'll see if I have some more in the back. Hang on, because I'm out over

Oh, yeah. I love that thing.

Give me one.

Oh, my God. I want a phone, Mom. I would totally be responsible of another

phone. No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, you got a gift card. Good.

Yeah. And I'm required to inform everyone about recall on this if you

Okay. You don't have it? No, we're in the clear. Thank you. Oh, yeah. It comes

from Kenya.

Oh, really? And they sent them to America. And, I mean, it's really cool.

It's supposed to be like a little mint.

Oh, that's cute.

It is cute. It's a cute concept. Like when an adult plays with it, you know.

With some kid sticking his tongue in there? No.

It's not even a safety thing. And they're not sure if they did this on

or what.

But that's just the regular mode. But the kids found it out that if you engage

these ink capsules in here, and it will actually print

an all -too -realistic bill.

Oh, my gosh. And it does it front and back.

Oh, my gosh.

I mean,

that's cool.

Yeah. Wow.

Right? Wow.

How are you doing today?

Is this it?

Yeah. All right.

Is it a reading program?

Yeah, they have a book club. Oh, yeah. We're donating these as a gift to the

book club. Oh, that's great.

One of those new forced perspective toys.

They've just been going crazy. People are buying these like nuts. So I have

small and one large.

They're the same size.

Well, one's a small and one's a large plane, depending on.

Have you seen that thing? It's a perspective plane.

Oh, no, I haven't seen it.

It's like, you know how they like to fly planes, and the farther away it flies,

the more it looks like a real plane? Oh, really? Yeah, yeah.

Like, you know, if you have it here, the closer it is, the smaller the toy

looks. Oh, I see.

You know what I mean?

Do you see? And then, see, the plane is really this big. Uh -huh. You see what I

mean? And then, wait, you fly it further away. Well, like, see the box size? Uh

-huh. Right. The farther away it is, the more it looks like a real plane. Oh. So

it's far back here.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. It simulates that new kind of plane that they're doing, that it looks

real the farther away it is.

Well, this, see, when this one's farther here, it's not.

Did you see the box will be the same size? How does that work?

And if this is close, it looks like a, it's an optical illusion.

Wait, hang on one second. I'll be right back.

How'd that work?

I don't

understand.

There we go.

That is peculiar.

Here, let's write down what we had. We had legs, right?

What the...

Invisible. Invisible. Invisible.

Invisible. Invisible.

Invisible. So I'm going to tell you how I did that. I went hiding behind the

shirt.

Okay.

Okay, we can do this.

No, I'm acting.

How are you guys doing?

Fine, thank you. Good.

Doing a little demo here, showing the different camos.

You know? I was looking for something that I bought a long time ago, but I

found anything.

It was green, like...

Like that. It's one over there, but it's not the same.

Oh, yeah. Just be careful when you're shopping, because the ones, if they have

the retinal camo logo, they're very expensive.

Oh, really? Yeah. The other ones aren't as expensive as this one, because the

retinal camo, I'm going to put it on, and you'll see the difference.

You see how they weave it, and the threads have metallic threads inside of

So it sort of bounces, the light bounces off your eyes a little bit. Do you see

that?

Yeah. And this one comes with like, do you see how this?

Oh, wow.

Yeah, it's hiding on there. And it's good because you could keep it and only

half of it has it and the other half doesn't have it. So one half has it and

other half doesn't. And this is the main shirt that comes with, it's like a

utility shirt. And you don't see anything on there. But in the woods or

whatever, and that's a real army compass right there.

Wow. Yeah.

It's great, right? You see it on the shoulder? You can see that. Uh -huh. You

see the way it's shining? You don't see that.

No. Come on. Are you playing with me? Really? You see this.

Wow. No.

You don't see it? No.

Yeah, yeah. When it's the same kind.

And this is a utility item.

Wow. Yeah, so that you can have all your stuff on there. Something like this.

You hold it up and you won't see it.

You know what I mean?

It's hard to see it, right?

Yes.

Like that. And this is, right?

so you can wear this and you don't really feel anything on there but like

you're trying to get like people are trying to get things like wow you see

because you're not allowed to have stuff on the airplane that's that large so

people bring their just their regular product yeah you can't see it right and

all the way around the back feel that on the back do you feel that yeah feels a

little puffy right uh -huh do you see it no come on now that you know you don't

see that you see it see the way it's shining

It's like a bump, no? No.

Come on, you don't see that? No. See, that's why I get away with that at the

airport all the time.

I bring Tucker with me because he's patterned in this little camo outfit.

Isn't he great?

It's Tucker.

I couldn't see Tucker.

Yeah, and he just sits in the little pocket and I can bring him on the plane.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

Isn't he the best?

Oh, my gosh. So, if you're interested in hiding anything, it's retinal camo.

You're going to want to use that.

Yeah.

You can't see it, right? Uh -huh. When it's on there, it's hidden.

Wow. Yeah.

It's brand new. Yeah. Retinal camo. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Bye -bye. Meow.

Bye -bye.

All right. I won't be seeing you later.

Okay.

It's a little camo joke.

How are you? Great.

Do you work at the other location?

No. Oh.

I used to be in the military, so they sent me over here. Oh, cool.

Really cool.

All right, so I usually just make, like, an inventory list.

So I just, this is a crate we got from a Virginia base, so we should probably

open this first, because my boss orders all this surplus stuff, and we never

know what it is until we open it.

And he said there's a mannequin figure in here, so we'll probably set that up.

We'll put that on the table.

Here you go. Take that.

All right.

What kind of head did it have on, then? I have no idea.

Oh, that's cool.

All right, let's... Oh, and this is the... Do you want to unwrap those?

Okay.

And that's it.

Okay.

Neat. Yeah, he said to set it up on here. So we'll make a figure. I don't

if we have to screw it or...

Looks like it does a thing.

There we go.

Something just clicked.

It seems to, like, just snap right in there.

That's cool.

Okay.

That's cool.

Wait a minute. Hold on. Here, let's turn this way.

I said there's, like, a power pack or something.

Wow.

Those look like wires.

Yeah, everywhere.

That is peculiar.

Here, wait. Let's write down.

Just write down what we had. We had legs, right?

What the?

Yo!

What happened?

It stepped down.

Shut up. Stop it. No, for real.

That's scary.

What happened? Did it move?

It stepped down and then stepped back up. No.

That's stupid, doesn't it? Yo.

Don't say that. I might be tripping. Okay, good. I hope it doesn't do it

because then I feel bad.

What's in that box?

This guy.

The remote.

Okay. Here, I'll put the head on.

Does that thing work?

Let me see.

No.

Wait, step back.

Push them both up.

He's moving.

Huh? He moved.

Did you do that? Yeah.

I knew I was interpreting.

Oh, my gosh.

That's insane.

Do it again. Do it again.

Oh, wow.

I told you.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you moving?

Yo.

That is great.

Keep moving.

Oh, it works.

What is it? Is this like a... Are you... Okay.

Yeah, move it, move it, yeah.

Don't press that one.

Okay, put them both down, put them both down, put them both down, put them both

down.

Are you moving?

No.

That is great.

Keep moving, keep moving.

Oh, it works.

What is it? Is this like a... Are you... Okay.

Yeah. Move it. Move it. Yeah.

Don't depress that one.

Okay. Put a bolt down. Put a bolt down. Put a bolt down. Pull a bolt down. Yeah.

Okay.

Get off.

What? Did you shut it off? Yeah. Oh, it's not going off. It's not... All

Wait, wait, wait. Shut it. Shut it. Shut it. Turn it back on.

Turn it back on. Hold on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Yep. Let me get it in here. Hold on.

Push the bolt up.

Here, let me get that.

Yeah,

pull the batteries out of the back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, it's still making noise.

They should give a person a warning that it's going to go ballistic real quick.

Okay. Have you seen anything like that before? I've never seen anything like

that before.

Because at first it picked up the box and then it just went haywire. Yeah,

that's why they stopped making them.

Probably. Yeah.

I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw that step down, though. I know. I thought you

were, like, tripping out. I thought you were having that thing happen.

What's that called? The Carbonaro effect?

Have you heard of that?

Never heard of it.

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

For real?

Yeah. I hope I never get put on that. Guess what? You're on it right now.

I'm Michael Carbonaro.

You're on my show, The Carbonaro Effect. No. Yes.

Oh, man. That is cool.

You were great. For a second, I was about to run.

Come on, you were so great.
