Okay, so, this furniture store

has a huge showroom and warehouse

in a massive 100,000-square-foot building.

It was so big that if one of our crew was out front,

we had to text them, because our walkie-talkies

wouldn't even reach.

..."Thanks for helping."

So, we just need to go through some of these old boxes

and make sure this stuff's okay to throw away.

-Okay. -What is this one here?

Oh, it's like some weird --

Maybe an artifact.

[ Laughs ] Indian artifact stuff?

Oh, yeah. Here.

I love looking at all this stuff.

I'm like, "What possibly could they have been doing?"

Yeah, that's, like, some --

There's some old pictures in here.

-Pictures? -This is somebody's stuff.

What, is he, like, digging up bones?

Weird. What does that name say?

Romley?

Romley? Oh, yeah.

Um, yeah, I think I saw another box in here

with his name on it.

Hold up. It says...

Let me see that one.

Yeah, they didn't have wooden boxes in any of the other stuff,

so this has got to be something from --

[ Coughing ]

What the hell is that?

[ Coughing continues ]

Dude, did you just hear that?

Yeah.

[ Wheezing ]

Does that sound like a person? Okay.

Here. Will you take it out? Here. Step around.

Can you pick that up?

That's really heavy. Can you grab the other side?

[ Coughs ] Hello?

[ Growls ] That's weird.

[ Groans ] Come on!

[ Moaning ]

Here. Go this way. Bring it --

Hold onto it tight. There's, like, a --

There's a thing right there, like a --

I see.

[ Scratching ]

Man, what the hell?! What happened?

-No, bro. No, bro. -Dude. Dude.

There's a finger coming out of there, bro!

What if somebody's in there, man?

-We got to get him out of there. -We got to get him out of there?

Bro, ain't no telling

how long that box been sitting up there.

Hold on a minute.

There's no way somebody was in there that long.

-So they're playing a -- -Man, there's holes in it.

That [bleep] be in there for a minute.

You're not messing with me about a finger, right?

I'm not messing with you.

'Cause I don't want to open it if it's like some --

Man, I'm not messing with you, bro.

I got no reason to mess with you, bro.

I came up here for a check, bro.

Hello?

What -- What the hell?!

[ Snorting ]

That's a [bleep] pig.

What is it?

That [bleep] come near me, bro, I'm telling you.

There's gonna be some pork chops in this [bleep], bro.

Man, that is a pig, cuz.

That is a [bleep] pig. Okay, hold on a minute.

Did somebody just ship that man a pig, cuz?

There ain't no way in hell. Didn't nobody know?

How the hell was it in there that long?

-Like, what would it eat? -Eat nothing.

If I saw a finger, it probably had a human in that [bleep].

He been eating that [bleep] the whole time.

There's, like, a --

Bro, that's some pants, bro.

-Pants? -That's a shirt, bro.

That's a shirt, bro.

And it looks like bloodstains on that shirt, bro.

-That's Romley, bro. -It's what?

That's Romley, bro. Hell no, cuz.

What do you mean?

Man, the picture we just found, bro. That's Romley's shirt, bro.

I remember that man's name. Man, that's Romley's shirt, man.

Look at the shirt, man. Look at the picture, man.

Look at the name on the picture, man.

That's not like some voodoo thing, like...?

Man, come on. That [bleep] came with voodoo [bleep] too, bro?

Like, that's not real stuff. That can't, like, really happen.

Man, come on, bro. We just read the pictures of Romley.

We just seen Romley's name on the shirt.

I said I saw a finger come out the box.

And now there's a pig in the damn box.

So, you're saying that the --

You're saying this dude turned into a pig?

Man, I don't know what Romley did. Romley got some problems.

♪♪

Ah, yes -- "Pig Man."

That trick will always hold a special place in my heart.

And here's something you didn't know --

we did this twice.

Take a look at this guy's very different reaction.

[ Pig grunts ]

What the [bleep]?!

-What? -Dude, look!

[ Pig snorting ]

What?

Put this [bleep] down.

Just put it on...

A finger just poked through the holes.

What?

Finger just poked through that hole.

Shut up.

I'm serious as a heart attack, dude.

The finger just poked through the hole.

Dude, you guys are [bleep]. You guys are tripped out.

-Here. Take this. -First day I come here,

and we pull out a box with a dude in it

sticking a finger out and oinking like a pig.

Where did you see a finger?

Finger came out of that hole.

-Come on. -I'm serious, dude.

Here. See if we can get it off.

[ Pig grunting ]

[ Drills whirring ]

I saw the finger, dude!

Okay. Do the -- Undo that.

Whoa!

Come on.

It's a [bleep] pig.

Dude, how did a finger get outta there?

-Shut up. -I swear to God.

A human finger popped out of there.

Come on.

And you found that weird dude's [bleep].

This is, like, some [bleep] --

What do you call it? Voodoo [bleep] or something.

That's not, like, something that can really happen, right?

And you found this [bleep].

That looks like some crazy voodoo...

I don't know if I would touch that, man.

You're gonna turn into a frickin' pig.

Wow, dude! This is the most freakiest [bleep]

that's ever happened to me, I'll have to say.

I'm thrilled, dude.

Dude...

Wow.

That's, like, a dude's shirt.

And there's his shirt.

And that's his name! Look!

Come on! What is --

That's the dude's name in the picture!

Somebody turned him into a pig!

Come on. Is that what that --

Yeah! That's him! That's Romley!

And that was his finger that stuck out of there.

You ever heard of hoodoo? It's not voodoo; it's hoodoo.

It's, like, moving pictures and [bleep] like that.

I've seen some crazy [bleep] like that.

All right, let me see

if I can figure out what we're doing here.

Yeah, Chad was supposed to text us

with labels for this stuff, and --

Well, I see he labeled that. "Fragile."

-Yeah. -Hey, Chad!

I'm sure it's not really fragile.

He's, uh, kind of a kook. Put that on there.

And then --

Yeah, the heavy one we'll put over there, too.

-Oh, wow. -Yeah, he wasn't lying, was he?

Yeah, you want to grab that with me?

Wow. That's pretty heavy. Okay. Whoops.

All right. Okay.

"Heavy." "Fragile."

Okay, um...

Yeah, okay. What is this thing?

Dude, I have no idea.

Yeah.

Looks like a jewelry box, almost.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

-There's a text. -Did I just get a text?

I think so, yeah.

What does it say? Could you grab that?

Gosh. It's probably him.

"Did I get you with those boxes? Ha ha."

What'd it say?

He said, "Did I get you with those boxes?"

Oh, he probably mislabeled them.

[ Scoffs ]

He's a jerk. [ Chuckles ]

Oh, this one. He wa--

This one's light. This is the fragile stuff.

-Oh. -That's so weird.

Wait. That just felt heavy.

-Huh? -Wasn't that just heavy?

Yeah. No, but he --

Oh, yeah. It's just light bulbs.

But I'm saying, didn't we just pick this up

and it was heavy as [bleep]?

It says "Heavy" on it.

But that just confuses me.

No. That's the heavy one.

Weren't you just like -- See? I'm tripping, bro, 'cause --

What do you mean?

I could have sworn you were just patting that up to me.

Yeah, I picked it up 'cause it said "Fragile"

and I'm like, "Oh," and made you catch it.

But this is all I'm saying.

Two seconds ago, you were throwing this box at me.

-You can't do that now. -Right.

Right. So how did that happen?

Well, because he mislabeled it. He put "Heavy" --

No, I understand that.

But what I'm saying is, you literally --

I just saw you pick that box up and throw it.

And now it's like 100 pounds.

-Right. -So how did that happen?

Because it -- We thought this was fragile.

That was a joke he was playing. See?

Oh, this is weights.

But I'm saying -- how did two seconds ago

did you just throw that box at me, is what I'm saying.

You're not getting where this is tripping me out in my own head?

Well, look in here.

These are just light bulbs and like -- That's light.

Right, right. I get that. But this is what I'm saying.

I understand that this is light, [bleep] the labeling.

I get that.

What I'm saying is we were just throwing this box.

Yeah, because it said "Fragile," so we didn't know.

You know what I mean? Like, that wasn't

supposed to be heavy.

Right. But whether or not what we know or not,

there's no way physically humanly possible

that you just threw that box.

Yeah, it doesn't even --

It's really being weird right now.

Okay. Let me go call him and find out what he meant.

That doesn't make sense.

I know I'm not tripping.

Yeah, like, this one will go in --

See, there's a "B" right there?

That one will go in Section B right there.

-Oh. -Just pile it up there.

Oh, okay. Just --

Oh, wow. Oh, it's a small kitty.

Aww! Man.

Aww. Let me get him. Oh, my gosh.

Michael: Yeah. He's so cute.

That is a tiny little cat, right?

Yeah, he's like -- Hey, buddy.

Man, he weighs -- He's like not even a pound.

[ Kitten mews ] Is he scratching?

Oh, there you go.

Doesn't like to be pet, I guess.

Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

He's so cute, though.

I mean, well, knowing how small he is, like,

no wonder he could've -- I mean, he got in here, but --

Yeah. Hey, you.

It's like, I mean, not even probably

a few months old, probably.

Yeah. He is so cute.

I have a piece of cheese over there.

You want to give him a piece of cheese?

Yeah. I was thinking about that.

Ow. Trying to bite at me.

I don't know if he'll eat this, but --

Ow! Whoa! [ Kitten mews ]

What in the world?

That is not a cat.

What in the world just happened, dude?

I have no idea. I mean --

Man, I'm not -- [ Laughs ]

Am I going crazy, or -- I mean, what the --

That was a --

That was a gray kitten down there,

and it had, like, claws.

It had four legs.

That was a cat. I swear.

I mean, I was holding it, and it had little --

I mean, I definitely s-- It was walking!

Yeah. That was a kitten.

Like --

But there's animals that camouflage, right, as other --

Oh, yeah, I mean, camouflage,

but, I mean, we're talking about a total transformation.

Yeah. Maybe they, like, try and mimic cats

because cats get fed more often.

I've never -- I've never heard of anything like that.

Like, a cat -- I mean -- But he was like --

I mean -- His fur, like --

Yeah.

I'm gonna get a ladder and maybe --

This shoe store has been in Atlanta for over a century,

and the owner was super-cool.

He has a repair shop up front, and he kept sending

all of his customers in the back for me to pull tricks on.

It's a shoehorn.

[ Softly ] It's a shoehorn.

Man: Can you tell me your name again?

-Michael. -Michael.

I might have similar -- In 10?

-10. -Yeah, here.

Why don't you come on over here? I'll get you set up right here.

Okay, great.

Oh, that's your shoes there, huh?

Yeah, yeah. That's for basketball, though.

Yeah. Those are nice.

-Oh, and you put a cushion in. -Yeah.

What kind of cushion is that?

Um, it has a little gel in it.

Oh, it's a gel cushion? That's pretty cool.

When's the last time you had these,

you know, adjusted for pressure?

I haven't.

-That's what you got to do. -Really?

It's not just about sizing sometimes.

Like, when you put an insert like this,

you got to know, you know, whose insert it is.

Yeah.

We use the right tools here, and we'll do that for you.

Just give it a --

[ Air hissing ]

You're gonna want to let it release.

See, that's a lot of pressure to be walking on.

I've never had that done.

-You never did that? -I never --

Oh, yeah. Yeah, once a month.

You know, when you're walking on it,

it builds up that pressure.

You know?

You'll be able to feel the difference.

And I'm an athletic person, but for some reason --

maybe I have -- but that has slipped me.

-Yep. -Let's see.

Oh, I do feel the difference. Oh, huge difference.

Now it's nice and soft.

And you -- Is that with most shoes?

All shoes.

Okay, so I'm gonna have to start doing this.

You got to do it.

So you'll come in, you know, we have a booth up there.

Courtesy. We'll just -- we'll re-pressurize them.

We'll fill it with a little more air, release some of the air.

Right. Right.

And you do it daily, Michael?

I do, yeah. Did you give it a good --

-No, you didn't. -Yeah.

Never aim it toward your face.

Okay.

Always away and squeeze. Oh, there you go.

In season two, we shot at the Governor's Mansion,

the actual home of Georgia's 82nd governor.

And while we had some great tricks,

not everything went so smoothly.

It's gotta be speed thieves.

Remember the "Speed Thieves" trick

we did later in season three?

How the hell did that happen?

here's a look at the first time I tried it,

at the Governor's Mansion.

and just take, you know, a little piece of ribbon

and wrap it around it once it's insi--

maybe that's what this is for, right?

In battle.

Have you ever been to the Governor's Mansion before?

Woman: Unh-unh. This is my first time.

Oh, yeah. That's Sir James Oglethorpe's armor.

He was the one who founded Georgia.

Yeah.

So they were, like, fighting over it.

It was in the King George Museum in England.

They're gonna unveil this tonight.

This is his -- the bronze bust.

-Oh, wow! -That's him right there.

Kind of a weird-looking dude, right?

-Yeah. [ Laughs ] -Yeah, they were fighting,

and the whole conspiracy was that he brought with him,

like, people who were in debt and gypsies and all --

Yeah, more like -- Yeah. Like, prisoners.

Prisoners. All that kind of stuff.

They were in debtor's prison,

and they were trying to keep his armor over there,

and they were like, "It's gonna be a bad-luck

omen to bring it back."

So some people were, like, weird when they delivered it.

They were like, "I don't want to -- I'm not touching it."

-And I'm like, "Oh, come on." -[ Laughs ] That's hilarious.

But I don't believe in that kind of stuff, really.

So, you work like every day, Monday through Friday?

I do, yeah, Monday through Friday.

Oh. Little late.

-This is Derek. -Derek. Hi.

Nice to meet you, Derek.

-Nice to meet you. -A pleasure.

Please be careful. Please be careful. Seriously.

-That's so badass. -Yeah, I know, but like --

If we get in trouble, we'll be in, like --

That's not good if somebody were to come in.

Gabriella's gonna talk some sense into you.

I just think that you will catch all the energy from that thing,

and that energy inside there

is probably already all screwed up

since there was so much fight over it.

Yeah.

So if you want that energy in your life, that's --

All right. Be careful.

You're gonna scratch it. Just --

I think it's been through a lot.

Yes. [ Laughs ]

to put on something this heavy on them?

Uh, here. Will you -- You want to hold the head?

All right. Yeah. Put your arm through.

Oh, my God, man. Okay. Here you go.

That looks good.

"Just take it."

when you bring that stuff back over when it shouldn't come.

It creates the Carbonaro Effect.

Yes.

Do you know what that is? The Carbonaro Effect?

It's like a sui generis effect. Like, it comes back to you.
