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.

Hey, how you doing? Good. I'm here to pick up a paddle board. Yeah, sure,

sure. There's three of them there. You want to grab one of those?

They're great if you're picking up a paddle board.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Is there something? Shake it. Did they load that one?

Excuse me?

Shake up, right? Yeah.

These are awesome. Yeah. Because you know how people clip, like, coolers to

their surfboards? Right. So they do this for, like, a paddle board. It's like a

smaller version.

A tap. Oh, it's a compression cooler.

So.

Yeah, and it's a compression, so it's easy enough for stuff to compress inside

of it.

Wait a minute. I'm sorry.

I'm so confused. What did you just do?

They keep this inside here.

All right, do that again.

I can't close it back up.

that they compress and pack them, and then when they open, they expand.

That's, like, freaky. Yeah, but it's good, because it's... Yeah, I mean...

real sturdy, it's light.

I just don't even know what to say about it. But look, look, though.

Each one comes with... I'll do the other one. Once you hit it twice, two.

So that you can do one, and then you can do one later on.

Did you see that?

No, everyone has to. That's what I'm telling you. Each one has to, and

cold.

And the other one will pop up after.

Well, they used the machine to get that inside there.

I think I have a brochure in the back. Hang on a sec.

Did you just see that? I didn't see it, so I have to take your word for it. I

think I saw it, but I feel like I'm on drugs or something.

That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.

How's it going?

It's going, man. Got out of class, got out of work weekend.

Oh, sweet.

Did you miss the sales weekend? Yeah.

Yeah, I was going to try and come by Friday. My car was in the shop, and I

like, all right. So I tried to come Monday after work. Oh, sure.

Oh, yeah. At least I made it there. Yeah, it was a great sale. We sold like

almost a gross of those, like 144 of these with the warm and toasties. What

they? They're going for like 25 cents.

So that was like a huge sale. I think he's still selling them.

for 25 cents. Get out of here. These are, have you seen this brand?

Uh -uh. Oh, my gosh.

They've been, like, safe. This is, like, safe people's lives.

What? Yeah, you've seen them before, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You

break them and they're warm for you. Yeah, snap it. Go ahead, snap one

we have so many of them.

Yeah.

Does it make a little click or?

Uh.

Is it warm?

Kind of.

You can kind of feel it's warm, right? Yeah, it's kind of warm right now.

Yeah. Kind of warm? It gradually gets warmer over time.

Yeah, but they say that people who are, like, if you're, like, stranded or,

like, in the cold, it's actually, like, save people's lives. I know. If you're

stranded someplace without food, afterwards you can open it up. It is

Yeah, and it's a lifesaver.

It is not a s'mores brownie. There's s'mores right there.

It's s'mores, yeah.

What? Yep.

Here, feel it. It's so warm. It's a perfect s'more.

And that's, like... How does that even happen?

Taste it. Go for it. It's delicious, yeah.

Yeah. Right?

Even after you break it up.

That is insane.

Yeah, and the company's really good because it's about saving lives.

Yeah, yeah. You know, like when you're stranded.

The thing is non -toxic and all that. Non -toxic. That's pretty cool. Like

you're at the end of the line. Yeah. Out in the wilderness.

Yeah. It's more can save you.

Huh.

That is crazy.

That's it. I like those.

Yeah, cool. Spring assisted, but every time I get funny.

Oh, the spring assist.

Yeah. They pop.

Yeah.

That one won't pop. Oh, wow. Look at that.

Oh, who makes this?

H &K. Oh, that's great.

That's a good one. That's like the one they do with the wallet.

You know the wallet version?

Have you seen that?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's good.

It's a great hide.

It's a real leather and it's flexible, so someone can examine it if they need

to feel it.

It's got a good grade and you can use it as a regular wallet.

I like that.

Yeah. But because it folds like this, most people, they'll stop there, which

good, like you did, you know. If someone were to examine it and they pull the

little guy out, they're not going to bust you for having this little thing.

But the best is, look.

See, look. And then this one, no one ever goes further because if it folds,

one will come out.

And that's easier for someone to be able to hide that in there.

They make them to, it's the concealed weaponry company.

They come folded up so you can unfold it yourself.

So it fits in there.

I know. I don't know how to get it in the first time.

You see how it just fits corner to corner?

So that once you learn how, you can get it in there and then you'll be able to

feel it.

Damn.

Yeah.

They're getting more and more sophisticated with the hides, you know?

All right.

Nice. T -shirt.

Pepper spray.

All right.

Let me just freshen your shirt a little bit, okay?

Make sure it's sanitary.

There we go.

All right.

What the? That just came out of the shirt?

Oh, yeah.

It's 100 % sanitary.

Oh. Yeah. We just spritz them out before we sell them.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

Just shake it. I would have never known.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

We keep a couple in each article of clothing just to make sure that it is

sanitary. Oh, you put them in there? Yeah, they're in all of the clothes.

And then we take them out before people leave the store.

Oh, man, I had no idea. What are they?

These are the Pest Eater Certain Bunk. It's from the millipede family.

They're actually cleaner. Three of them came out of here? Yep.

Wow. Yeah. We order them from Ecuador, and they keep everything completely

sanitary. Oh, cool. Yeah.

You could eat off of these bugs. They're that clean.

That's like these survivors that drink through them.

Not me, bro.

Things never got that bad, thank God. Well, that's why we have the bugs now.

Keep them sanitary.

Wow. Yeah. You might want to shake that out a little bit. We usually keep four

in there.

Okay. Take their bag.

Will it come tumbling in?

Um, hell, it'll find its way out. You'll be all right.

You could leave one in if you want to. Oh, my girlfriend would like flipper.

There's a bug in here.

Did you get both of them?

It's almost like a security.

You would not think that was funny. No.

Let me just make sure.

Yep, there he is.

All right.

That'll be all of them.

Over here.

God, you learn something new every day.

This is my impression of a frog selecting chaps.

Do you know when an origami is ripe?

It's something like, I don't know whether it's when it rattles or when the

of the little hairs on it are black is when they'd be ripe.

What do you do with it? Do you eat it?

Uh, no.

Well, some people are eating them. Uh -huh. You know, because they're vegan

they're trying to get away with eating them. But I don't think that's very,

cool. Yeah. Uh, yeah. One was rattling.

Do you see any that have, like, uh, there's, like, little hairs on the

That one's black.

Which one is black?

This one. That one? The one on the end.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, that does have black.

Black on the end? Yeah.

It does have black on the end.

Yeah, that popped off.

Oh, does that mean it's ready? I guess so.

Does that...

Would you say rattle?

Yeah. Because the guy called and he just said it has to be rattling.

That's a rattle? Yeah. Can we try a massage?

Oh.

Massage it.

Is it going?

Oh, yeah, it's cracking a little. There it goes.

Oh.

Yep. Oh, great.

There he is. That scared me. Oh, my gosh.

That's it.

That's an origami. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it's a vegan pet.

It's part mammal, part plant.

Oh. They grow. Oh my gosh, I've never seen one hatch. That's terrible.

Isn't he great? I've never seen that in my life.

I'm a little scared of him, and that made it, and then he's cute. Yeah.

The males fertilize the seeds, and the seeds are plant.

So it's a hybrid of mammal and plant together.

Oh my goodness. What do they feed on?

They feed on just light and water.

That's it?

Yeah, because their internal structure is like a plant.

A lot of vegetarians, because it's a plant animal, they're eating them.

How are you doing? I'm well. How are you? I'm doing pretty good. That's my

of books. Pile of books. You've got lots of stuff.

There you go.

All right, great.

All righty. Lots of books, and we've got some tablets here.

These aren't capsules? These are capsules?

Capsules. Okay. Yeah. And so everyone who's buying capsules today gets a

security bottle. Okay. What is it?

They're impossible to open for kids, in case you want to... No, no, the...

Really? Yeah.

Oh. The kids think that they can open it.

But they can't. What do you mean? Yeah. That's good, right?

That's going to... They'll get it. There's a combination on them.

I use this... Are you kidding? No, no, no, no, no.

It's got a combination on the top.

This is the one I use. Here, I'll show you.

The lid has a little combination on it.

You see that? What's that combination?

5 .3. 5 .3. That's mine.

Put it on there.

Turn it 5.

3.

You could take him out and you keep him in there.

They fall out quick. Well, where did those pills come from?

Well, they're hidden inside.

They're hidden inside the whole time.

But,

so... To open it, you line up the two numbers.

Well, the mark goes away.

On the top? Yeah, when it sees through so that you can see it.

Yeah, the mark. So how do you know how to open it now? Well, that's the point,

so that the kids don't be able to open it because if they see the marks,

line it up.

I hear you, but how do I line it up when I want to get in it? Because you know

the code.

Would you say it was 5 -3? Do I put the 5 over here? Does it matter where I put

it? You put your own mark.

So you'll just line it up to the 5 to one spot, then the 3 to the one spot.

I pick them up. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. This is a very confusing item you have here. You understand it

You put your own number on top.

So I'm just going to do 53. It doesn't matter where.

Okay. It doesn't matter where. And then just shake it.

And they'll come back from the... Okay. Yeah.

You'll figure it out. All right. I'm going to have to go home and play with

Just the plastic parts, as long as they're all made in plastic.

Are you telling me those two big things became that?

Someone's going to come in and be like, my hobby is magic. Can I buy these magic

tricks? I'll be like, just take them. You got me busted.

Are you that guy from that? Nope.

Hey, man.

Can I ask you a question? You ship stuff, yeah?

So you would know about shipping.

Okay. Yeah, they're making a separate.

Okay. If someone were to buy the paint.

Right. Would they be able to ship it?

It depends.

It depends?

It depends. Yeah, because we have to ID people now.

Yeah, it depends.

For the ball.

So when somebody gets the paint.

You hear the ball shaking in there. Well, there is no ball. They don't ship

with the ball anymore. That's why I'm asking you.

Yeah.

I know one way it'll go as a hazardous package, and one way it'll go as a non

-hazardous package. Right. So when I have the paint here, like the green

okay, and someone's going to buy it, and I know they're going to ship it, do I

give it to them with the ball, or do I, because I have to ID them for the ball,

or do I just put it in, you know, for them?

Yeah, that's what I have to do is put it inside.

Yeah, that's what they're making me do now. They're making me ID people for the

ball. You see how it shakes?

You can hear it.

Oh, that's what they're making us do now for safety regulation.

Yeah. And then it's like, let me get a paper towel.

Yeah, because the graffiti, you know, the ball is made to come out.

Yeah.

This way, if an underage person were to come in, I can sell them the paint, but

I can't sell them the ball.

That is something.

I'll show you this. Here, take one of those balls out.

Wow.

You just hit the can. Yeah, yeah, hit the can. I'll show you. Take a color.

Here, I'll take the orange one. Will it still leak then?

Well, this one, once it comes in once and comes out once, that's it. It seals

it. And now, yeah, it is sealed and we can't get a ball back in.

You can't? Nope.

Well, don't tear up another one. I just thought you'd do it. No, but you should

know how to do it, because if you're going to be shipping them ever... Well,

that's up to the customer to put the ball in or leave it. Right. But if you

shipping somewhere, you go to Grandma's house, and she bought paint because she

wants to paint her rocking chair, and she asked you to put the ball in. Are

not going to put the ball in for her? Let me show you how to do it.

All right, here's... I'll use the orange.

Yeah, you hold it in the palm of your hand like that, right? And not on the

of the can, oddly enough.

Just on a flat part.

Just going to hit it in.

Yep.

Did it go in?

No. NPI config it.

Did it not go in? Let me try one more time.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. Well, careful. Yeah.

Don't puncture. Yeah, don't hurt yourself.

Yeah. Wow, that is something, man.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's something. You know something new every day, man. I would have known

that. Yeah, here. Take a can home. You can practice with it, and then you'll

know how to do it. Well, thank you, sir. It's a little knack. Get in the palm of

your hand. Just give it a smack.

You'll get it.

Well, thank you. All right. Have a great day.

So he's going to check that on out for you.

Yeah. Where are you from?

I live down in Marietta. Oh, you didn't know about it? No.

Oh, yeah. We've got tons of stuff for train sets, and you really should take a

look around.

We've got some great stuff.

You know, they've got the ones now carrying GoPro cameras.

Oh, sure.

Yeah. Pretty slick. Yeah, I was just doing that. We do steam trains, you

for different people who have some of the older model sets of trains. And we

that right in store.

Yeah. You've seen, you know, it's very hard and really expensive to have your

train sets steamed if you need them, you know, for sizing.

Right. Have you heard of that before?

No. Oh, here. This is great. We just got the new system. You'll love this. What

do you mean sizing?

Oh, because, you know, the trains, they come and they're molded, and they're

molded in plastic, and they're cast to a specific scale.

So what we do, let me just bring this out for a second.

We'll get this right in store.

We'll take a 1 -inch scale, and we'll resize it,

and it goes inside here.

And they go in there.

But it won't change the track size. It doesn't change the track size.

That's the only problem.

Someone's got their track laid out already.

It's not going to be able to change the size of the track.

But it will change anything that's plastic.

Because, yeah, you know how plastic's made with two polymers.

There's a lower polymer and one on top, and you pull it up, and the two combine

together to make plastic.

What they do with this is they add silicone inside of it. So this way, most

of the plastic products have a flexibility.

So if someone has all their tracks set up, and they find that they've got

good strains, but they don't fit the track,

we'll just see their size in the fall.

Those two big things become that? Yeah, just the plastic parts, as long as

they're all made in plastic.

And it happened that fast?

Yeah, it just steams it and pressurizes it because the plastic has a molecular

flexibility. So anything that's plastic... Here.

I learned something major today. Yeah,

they look great. They're like the same... Even the wheel size, though. I

that just blows my mind.

Yeah, anything that has a plastic -y... Like, I was just eating the little gummy

bears here. Anything that has, like, a plastic flexibility to it.

Drop that in there.

Yeah.

There we go.

Yeah. Now you're going to have a little gummy pellet. Yep, a little tiny gummy

pellet. Oh!

Well, that's better.

Oh, my God. Look at this.

Oh, yeah.

Build it.

Anything that has, like, a plastic flexibility to it.

Drop that in there.

All right.

Yeah. There we go.

Yeah. Now you're going to have a little gummy pellet. Yep, a little tiny gummy

pellet. You can see it.

Oh, well, that's better.

Oh, my gosh, look at this.

Oh, yeah.

I filled it.

What, is it full of water? I think it just expanded.

You could eat on that all day.

Yeah, I mean, anything that's plasticky.

What if that thing blew up in your stomach after you ate it?

Well, the machine is set for a certain size, but there's only a certain amount

that the polymer can reduce its structure.

But how do you gauge what size it's going to be?

It's wild, right? To be able to expand and contract, the process is called the

Carbonaro effect.

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

Like the one you're on right now? You son of a gun.

You're too good for me.

What is your name?

I'm Terrence. I'm Michael Carbonaro.

The show's called The Carbonaro Effect. That's right.

Well, at least I feel as though I still have my sanity, because this was very

hard to accept.
