Yeah.

So usually I'm pretty good at working a cash register,

but this grocery store had tons of codes

for every single fruit and vegetable,

so I had to fake the check-outs

and then hand off the customers to a real employee

after the trick.

And this was the sale milk?

Yeah. That's cool.

[ Gasps ]

Like you. Oh, that's me.

No, that's not you.

It looks like you.

That is her. That is too me.

Don't do that to me.

That is too. I'm telling you.

How did that happen?

You're gonna mess me up.

No, guys. Come on. I'm not kidding you.

You're not a missing person, are you?

What is going -- no, I'm not, but --

-That is crazy. -Okay, now, how did that...

Look. It just changed.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I've heard about this.

These things -- Oh, my God.

I'm like, "That is too me."

Yeah, they printed these, and images --

How did they make me look like that?

Well, I think it just looked like you for a second.

No, it was me.

How did it go away?

I don't know, but that wasn't on there first.

It didn't look like a guy. I know that.

It was not. It was me.

It was a woman.

But you're not missing, obviously, right?

No

Have you been missing?

No. I'm telling you.

I'm really weirded out.

That was not on there.

How long were you shopping for?

We were in here -- We've been here for about an hour.

Oh, maybe somebody called in or something.

Would anybody be worried about you?

No.

Well, I'm glad it's not just me,

because I thought I was seeing things.

I was like, "What?"

That is weird.

A big part of my job is winding people up

as much as possible.

This husband and wife seemed like good sports,

so I decided to push the envelope

and imply that she was a hostage.

But you're definitely not lost.

There's nothing wrong.

Would anybody think you were lost?

No.

But...

are you okay?

Yes. Okay, I'm just asking.

All right.

[ Laughs ] He wants to make sure

you're not kidnapping me. Well, I don't know,

because --

She's driving.

[ Laughing ] I got the keys.

Okay.

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

How you doing today? I'm good.

Good. Are you new?

I am new.

How's it going? It's going pretty good.

[ Laughs ]

Been here four days.

Oh, all right. Yeah.

[ Beeping ]

This one's...

You got avocados here. All right.

[ Beeping ]

Oh. Sorry. Hold on.

Let me try that again.

[ Beeping ]

Yeah. These are -- do you know?

Were there any other kinds of avocados or just these?

I didn't even look. Oh.

[ Both laugh ] You're like me.

But I think there was only one kind.

You want me to go check? No, no. That's okay.

You know what it is? They -- They're...

We've had problems with a lot of people stealing these,

so their security goes off like crazy.

Avocados specifically?

Yeah, avocados.

They're really expensive, you know,

'cause they import them.

So I'm just gonna have to --

if you don't mind, I'm just gonna put them

in a separate bag here. Okay.

And I'm gonna --

just gonna get the security tags out, okay?

I'm sorry. I'm just learning all this new stuff.

I'd use my hand, but I don't want to...

There we go.

There we go, there we go, there we go.

'Cause the tags are --

they're really super-sensitive, so...

That should do it.

Yeah. See? You just smushed

my avocados.

Oh, but the tags are disabled now,

so the alarm won't go off when you go through the door.

Oh, but you didn't smush them then.

No, they're fine. Look.

And look -- I got the tags out of them.

Just had to get the security tags out.

It's a titanium bat, so it's not gonna --

it only hits the -- it only gets the tags out.

-Oh. -Are you making guacamole?

No. I was gonna put them in, like, a salad.

Just slice them up? Yeah, they'll still be fine.

Oh. I can get you more,

but I'd have to take the tags out.

All right, so smashing avocados was fun,

but I also tried this with different items.

Here's a never-before-seen version

Oh, is there? [ Beep ]

Okay. [ Beeping ]

Whoops. Uh-huh.

Come on, baby. Hmm.

Oh, you know -- I think it's the security.

People steal bread?

Oh, my gosh, all the gluten-free stuff,

it's really expensive. Are you kidding me?

Our whole system now has been rewired

that everything -- everything is coded.

And I hate to say this... Yeah.

...but those people who think they're gluten-free...

Yeah. ...are not really

gluten-free.

This is what they make us do.

Here, watch out a little bit here.

Just got to -- Break the bread?

Wait. No, I don't want the bread

beat up.

Here we go.

Just breaks the codes, because the whole --

otherwise people walk away with it.

So now what?

Now I'll just take out the security tags.

It's a new technology.

Oh, I can't believe you did that.

Yeah, the bat, it's titanium.

Oh, I know what titanium bats are. Go ahead.

Yeah, no, it's so it only breaks the security tags.

That is just --

Now, if the bread is all broken in the middle --

But it's not. That's what you say?

Look at it. It's solid.

It's made to only break the security tags.

How crazy. Yeah.

Well, the real good stuff they code,

'cause it's the best.

-Okay. -So you're in good hands today.

You want to keep the tags?

No. God, I'll beep everywhere I go.

What do you got there?

Oregano.

It's oregano oil? Yeah.

Oh, wait. What is today's date?

Um...

There's a stamp on here.

Uh, it's the 10th.

March 10th? Yeah.

Oh, this -- what time is it?

'Cause this says...

11:32.

A.M.? Uh-huh.

March 10th, 11:32 A.M. it expires.

What time is it?

11:32. 11:32?

How you guys doing today?

I always intend to perform a trick

on just the people standing in front of me,

but there's just something about revealing an animal

in an unexpected location

that attracts the attention of everything in the area,

as you're about to see.

This one's got a little crack in it, yeah.

Man: I'll have to go get another one then.

Oh, shoot.

Yeah, no, no, no. Look. It's...

[ Chirping ]

This is probably why they were --

they do really fresh eggs here.

Dude, is that a [bleep] bird in there?

[ Gasps ]

-What now? -What?

What?

There's a bird in there, dude.

Oh, no!

Oh, can I have it?

[ Chirping continues ]

Is there any birds in the rest?

No, no. That happens every like --

every few.

Aww!

Michael: The eggs are really, really fresh.

Yeah, you think?

You want to let him... Wow.

Let's see him.

Aww!

[Bleep]

You know what --

So, I want it.

I want this bird.

You want to keep --

and do you want the other 11, too?

Do you want the other 11?

Yeah, let her have that [bleep]

You don't want the bird?

No. Are you kidding me?

Yeah, they're really fresh now.

They don't have hormones in them,

so it doesn't stunt their growth.

So they just grow, you know?

Oh, it's so adorable.

Yeah. Okay, here. I'm gonna let you take it.

But careful, right?

Yeah. And you'll be good

with him.

Yes. Friendly?

Yes, yes. Okay.

[Bleep] I can't believe what I'm watching.

Michael: I'll keep these.

Yeah, I'll keep them warm.

I can't handle more than one.

More than one chicken. I understand.

Yeah, I only have one chicken in my place, too. So, yeah.

You're not gonna eat this thing, are you?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Michael: You're not gonna eat him, right?

-No, no. -Oh, no.

These you could eat.

These you could eat within 48 hours.

I don't even eat that [bleep] anyway.

That's why -- that's part of the reason why, man, this is...

Okay, so, I want this.

You want to keep it.

What are you gonna do with that bird?

I'm gonna put it in a little cage.

Do you want to put him in here for now,

let him walk around a little?

He won't get out of it?

Yeah, we have these hatch all the time.

Oh, okay. God [bleep]

what do you do with them?

Well, the farm will pick them up, you know?

The people who --

Oh, that's so cool.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Well, they're really fresh,

so the farm will come back and get them

and make more eggs.

You know, it's the circle of life.

So, as you may have realized by all the beeps,

Brian here cursed a lot.

So I wasn't really sure how he'd react

when I told him the egg hatching wasn't real

and that he was actually on my show.

Take a look at this never-before-seen reveal.

That's great. Yeah. So, these,

they said are fine.

We called over and they said

they're fresh and fine as long as you eat them

within 48 hours. Otherwise, these might hatch.

So that's up to you, if you want them.

That's his business, man.

When the chickens hatch like that,

you know, in the store,

for store-bought stuff, if they're gonna hatch,

it's called the Carbonaro Effect.

Have you heard of that?

No. Unh-unh.

Oh, it's -- it's also the name

of a hidden-camera magic TV show...

Mm.

...that you guys are on right now.

That bull[bleep]

I'm a magician.

You [bleep] must be kidding.

No, I'm a magician.

I'm Michael Carbonaro.

The show is called "The Carbonaro Effect,"

where magic happens in real-life situations

and we just watch how people have fun with it.

And you guys were great.

He was like, "No effin' way."

You'll be beeped all over.

The husband and wife who owned this shipping business

were nice enough to hide in the back room

while I played tricks on their customers.

After we got going,

when Vic would spot one of his regulars

approaching the door, he'd yell, "Roll the cameras!"

Hello.

Hi. This is just one of those empty boxes

that gets reshipped. Oh, sure.

To Perry Ship. To Perry Ship?

Could you get me this one?

Oh, yeah. Has this just been dropped off?

Yeah, people just dropping them off,

Oh, you're kidding.

Oh, this is exactly the same thing.

These are empties?

No, I don't think this one's empty.

This one is one of those ones

that has "open on sight."

So I'm supposed to open these right away.

Yeah. [ Gasps ]

Yeah. Unh-unh.

Yeah. They --

That was not in that box.

Yeah. That's how they're packing them now.

How did they do that?

They invert the air inside these when we get them.

So, the sporting place comes to pick them up

and makes them lighter for shipping.

Really? Yeah.

But we get them, we unpack them,

and they come in and put them in, like, more, like,

professional cases or whatever.

That -- so, I just watched a bowling ball come in

Everybody's, like, totally paranoid about everything.

Well, okay.

I know. It's pretty crazy.

I'm sure it's fine. That's...

You packaged this yourself, right?

I did, yes. [ Beep ]

Ooh.

What does that mean?

Yeah, the alert went off on it.

Can I ask you what's inside?

Yeah. Candy. Like, turtles.

Okay. Chocolate turtles...

Right. ...t-shirts.

Chocolate turtles, t-shirts.

Seeds. Like, sunflower seeds.

Sunflower seeds. Oh, okay.

You know what it probably is?

Is we might have problems with the fact

that there's chocolate turtles and seeds...

Are you kidding? ...together.

Yeah, it's bizarre,

but there's been all these new regulations

about just mixing stuff.

Where is it going?

To my son at school.

In Georgia. Uh-huh.

Okay, yeah. We might have a problem

with chocolate turtles and seeds

together in the same box.

Well, can we take the turtles out --

I mean, the seeds out?

We could separate them.

But let me just check,

because in case it's not a problem.

Yeah, they send us these regulations,

new ones all the time.

Which one is this here?

Yep. Look at this.

Department of Parcels and Packaging.

"Chocolate turtles." Oh, my God.

You're kidding me. That is so ridiculous.

Just chocolate turtles and seeds together in Georgia.

Why?

It's something about the agriculture,

what's made in the chocolate,

and how it might activate with the seeds.

And you know what? In my wallet,

'cause my friend just sent some chocolate turtles

and seeds to Savannah... Uh-huh.

...so I have some stickers.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, we just have to mark

"chocolate turtles and seeds."

So, will you put that on the box?

Yes. Okay.

Do you know that I never mix these two?

[ Laughs ]

That's probably why it's never come up

as an alert before. Yeah, okay.

You've never sent turtles and seeds together, right?

No, never. Well, now you know.

Okay. And so, how did that know?

You've seen how she reacted when I told her

that shipping chocolate turtles and seeds together

was illegal.

But what you haven't seen until now

is how I informed her that she was secretly being filmed

for my show.

They're sensitive to know what elements together

are gonna cause an issue. That's amazing.

It's really wild.

But... Okay.

So, yeah, you could talk about it over dinner

and talk about it while you're watching TV,

and let everyone know that you're gonna be on TV, too.

What do you mean?

We're on TV right now. Are you really?

I thought this was too weird to be happening.

[ Laughs ] It is too weird

to be happening.

I mean, and how did this happen?

I'm a magician.

Are you really? Yeah.

I almost said that.

Oh, you almost did. Yeah.

Well, we're glad you didn't.

[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah.

I need to return this package.

When we do tricks with fire,

like the one you're about to see,

we always talk it through with the business owner first

So let's see.

Oh, that's probably why.

Oh.

Yeah.

They can't ship it with fire.

Yeah.

So you'll either have to blow out the candles

or I have a sticker we can put on it

that has flames on it.

Which do you want to do?

I didn't know there was cake in there.

Yeah. Do you want me to ship this
