We spent a couple of days filming at a dojo in Atlanta,

and we lured people in

by offering them a free private karate lesson.

All they had to do was evaluate the studio's newest instructor.

That would be me.

All right, have you studied before?

-Man: I have not. -Okay.

Now, we're gonna support our diaphragm here.

-Okay. -And it's "hee-yah."

Hee-yah?

Yeah. And just explode the air.

Hyah!

Oh, wow. That's so cool.

The strength is from the yell.

-Okay. -Okay. So let's give it a try.

Hyah!

That's really good. Really, really good.

Okay. I'm gonna 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. -Okay.

And connecting the voice together here.

Yeah, one step back so you can see it.

See, I focus on that paper, okay?

So I'm -- my hands are in...

as if they punched out.

Then I pull in. Hee!

You see how I do that?

Uh-huh.

Now I'm gonna connect the voice to the paper.

And get...

h-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e

yah!

Hai!

Okay? And it really helps to amp it up like that,

to really bri-i-i-i-ng it up.

It's called crescendoing vibrato.

-Right. -Okay.

So I'm gonna teach you how to do that.

Okay. You want me to come on that side?

Yeah, come around over here.

'Cause 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.

Right.

And with this one, because it's reverse,

I'm gonna have you try this with a meditation candle.

Because it's very easy to see even the slightest vibrations

in the flicker of the flame.

Put it just like that.

Yeah. Ah, there we go.

That's a good position. Very good.

The flame of the candle.

You're looking at the flame of the candle.

Let's start to get that sound going.

-H-e-e-e-e... -Keep it building.

Really connect.

...e-e-e-e-e-e...

And when you feel it...

Yah! [ Glass shatters ]

Oh! Oh.

[ Laughing ] Oh, my God!

That's so crazy.

That was...

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

How did you -- how -- what were you --

You're a natural.

Where are you from?

Your glasses, too.

-Sorry? -Your glasses, too, are broken.

Oh, God!

I thought they were fogged up.

That is awesome. Oh, my [bleep]

♪♪♪

For a beginner, that's really good.

Right.

On our second day of filming here, the power went out

and it ended out day early.

But before it did, we were able to nail this extremely

difficult,

never-before-seen trick.

Check it out.

We have a class of 25 kids

that are learning the art of concealment.

They're learning about how to hide in plain sight.

This is one of the lessons I was teaching them,

where it's not about trying to hide yourself in the night

'cause that's so simple.

Like, there's tons of shadows around everywhere.

But it's actually easier

to hide during the day.

Like, when the sun comes out -- look at this --

the sun comes out, it's got a bright, strong light.

That's what I show people, right?

And in that bright light around it

is tons of shadow. See that?

So it's actually easier to hide in the center of that light.

♪♪♪

Do you know?

No.

So around the center of that is where it's easier to hide.

Do you see what I mean?

Uh...

Right?

Yeah. Okay. I'm confused.

♪♪♪

So they're working on getting their badge, right?

That's good? Okay, no nunchuks, though.

No nunchuks. Good. Get rid of those.

Really nice. Good. Good.

Good. Okay.

Got your hand going there.

Good.

And it's about trying to hide. Good.

Good, good, good. So trying to find a way out of the light.

Follow the center of it. Come on, Anthony.

Follow the center of the light all the way out.

So it's basically the art of illusion?

It's like -- It's like that. Yeah.

Yeah, and he would be right here.

You see?

So, being able to hide

in the center of that light.

How did -- How did you do that? That's --

See, the brightness of the light

makes such a strong light,

that it's easier to hide actually inside of it.

♪♪♪

The boy that was right there...

You saw -- You saw the shadow.

-Yes. -But not the boy.

Yes.

That's how they hide.

It blew my mind.

-Really? -[ Imitates explosion ]

Yeah.

It's a confusing thing, right?

-Yeah. -'Cause you're like, "What?"

[ Both laugh ]

That's something that I would be willing to learn it.

-You want to learn it? -Yeah.

Yeah.

You never know when it might come in handy.

Right.

So we attempted this trick three times.

First two didn't work out because our hidden mikes

didn't pick up the delivery guy's audio.

To fix this, as soon as he arrived,

the owner of the dojo handed him a coffee cup

and told him to bring it to me.

Inside was a hidden microphone.

Yeah. You can 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.

Oh.

Uh, I'm pretty sure I have one in here.

I'm sorry. Hold on.

♪♪♪

Golden Buddha?

-Yeah. -Okay.

[ Breathing deeply ]

Hai...

Hyah! Sai-daika!

Wow.

Golden Buddha?

Yeah, Golden Buddha.

It's a free lunch.

Oh. But this expired.

Oh.

Expired?

2010, this...

[ Chuckles ]

Oh.

Um...

Well, I could just pay you cash, if you want.

Is cash okay?

♪♪♪

Yeah.

Okay. So let's 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.

And 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.

Originally I was gonna stand on a stack of wooden karate boards

for this trick, but they kept toppling over during rehearsals.

So we dragged in these cinder blocks instead.

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?

Yeah.

You bend you knees down

and come up, and try and remember

what that felt like when you were up there.

You can just...

feel yourself.

Slowly find your way...

up.

And just what the perspective of the room looks like,

letting my body feel tall.

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.

It's about breathing the right air.

It's about feeling your perspective change, right?

-Okay. -Okay?

So let's try this again. Breathe in.

[ Breathes deeply ]

And then feel yourself coming back down.

Oh, my gosh.

See, there is no up on the blocks.

Uh-huh.

There is no down off the blocks.

It's the perspective of where we feel we are living from.

-Really? -Yeah.

So, what is it? Like, just meditation type of thing?

It's a meditation type thing...

Oh, wow.

...that is allowing you to understand that your thoughts

are on a higher plane than the world is.

Wow.

You know, and 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...

Oh, my goodness.

You'll be able to take it down, eh?

Yes. It's, like, unbelievable.

[ Chuckles ]

There's a charmed stretch of Roswell Road in Atlanta

where we've filmed at more locations than anywhere else,

including a wine shop, Japanese restaurant,

an outdoor store, and this place --

Learning Express Toys,

where we managed to nail five tricks in one day,

despite some challenges.

You making all the bracelets?

Necklaces?

She's making, like...

What'd you make?

Mermaids and...

-Oh, fun. -Really cool stuff, yeah.

Oh, yeah, someone just...

brought us one of these lucky wish frogs.

-Uh-huh. -Here. Hold on to that.

You feel how he bounces when you play with him?

Would you wear something like that?

Yeah.

Cool, right?

-I guess that's a no. -That's a no?

I love him. I keep this little guy on here, and I just, like...

[ Both gasp ]

Wait. Was that real?

Yeah.

Oh!

That's why I love him.

You could wear him all day, and then...

-It's real? -Yeah.

It's not until you take him off...

Oh!

[ Laughter ]

It's a defense mechanism that they do

'cause they get nervous, so...

That's pretty cool.

But he'll clamp his little mouth in there like that,

and then he'll hold on. See that?

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

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait!

That's his defense mechanism.

-No! -Yeah.

-No, no, no, no, no, no. -Yeah.

This is the strangest thing I've ever seen in my life.

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

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait.

You know?

What kind of frog -- I'm so...

They're from Mexico.

Wow.

You can still feel that it's real.

Do you feel him?

Oh, my God. That is so cool.

I'll see if I have some more in the back. Hang on.

'Cause I'm out over here.

Oh, yeah, I love that thing. Get me one.

Oh, my God. I want one.

No.

I would totally be responsible of another frog.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, you got a gift card. Good.

Yes.

And I'm required to inform everyone about a recall

on this if you have this.

-Okay. No, we don't. -You don't have it?

No, we're in the clear, thank you.

Yeah, it comes from Kenya.

Oh, really?

And they sent them to America, and...

I mean, they're...

It's really cool.

It's supposed to be like a little mint, and no one...

Oh, that's cute.

It is cute. It's a cute concept.

Like, when an adult plays with it, you know...

Some kid sticking his tongue in there?

Is that what's happening?

No. It's not even a safety thing.

And they're not sure if they did this on purpose or what,

but that's just the regular mode

that the kids found it out that if you...

Engages ink capsules in here, and it will actually print...

[ Gasps ]

...an all-too-realistic bill.

-Cool. -Oh, my gosh.

Does it front and back.

Oh.

Oh, my gosh! You can trick people with it.

That's exactly right.

There were adults that were coming in here and buying this.

They're like, "Oh, do you have any more of the My Little Mint?

I bet they were.

So...I have this one here if you want it, take it with you.

If you want to buy this one now, I'm not gonna say anything.

-No, no. -You sure? You sure?

[ Laughing ] Yes.

We don't want the FBI chasing us.

No. You don't want the FBI

chasing you.

I mean, that's just...

-Yeah. -Wow.

That's -- wow.

Now, I can't believe I got away with this one.

It's based on a trick

that comes in almost every beginner magic set.

But Darcy fell for it.

Check out this never-before-seen reveal.

She's gonna ring you up. Okay, thank you.

Can I have the mug, too, please?

That, too.

I'm a magician. That was just a trick.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. That sounds like --

That can't be real. Yeah.

Very nice.

I'm looking here, I'm, like, oh, my God.

It gets better. You guys are on my show right now.

No, we're not. "The Carbonaro Effect."

No. Yes.

I'm Michael Carbonaro.

There are hidden cameras right in here.

No, you're not. I'm -- Oh, my God.

Hidden cameras right over -- See the camera up there?

Yeah.

Camera over here.

Oh, my gosh.

That's awesome.

Mom, that's a real frog in that tank.

Oh, and there's real frogs over there, too.

That's awesome. Nicely done.

-Did you believe it? -Yes.

You did? Definitely. I thought

it was real.

Oh, God, I love you guys to pieces.

You're the best.

Hang on. I'm gonna bring this back.

Thank you guys so much. You were awesome.

How you doing today?

I'd like to get this book today.

Just this? Yes, just that.

All right. There's a reading program?

Yeah, they have a book club -- birthday book club.

Oh, yeah.

We're donating these as a gift to the book club.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah, one of those new forced-perspective toys.

They've just been going crazy.

People are buying these like nuts, so...

I have one small and one large.

They're the same size.

Well, one's a small --

One's a small, and one's a large plane.

Oh, okay.

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 right here,

the closer it is, the smaller the toy looks.

Oh, I see. Do you know what I mean?

Do you see? And then, see,

the plane is really -- is this big.

Uh-huh. You see what I mean?

And then, what -- it gets -- you fly it further away?

See the box size?

Uh-huh. Right.

The farther away it is,

the more it looks like a real plane.

Oh, it looks -- So it's far back here...

Oh, wow! Yeah.

It simulates that new kind of plane that they're doing,

that it looks more real the farther away it is.

Well, this -- see, when this one's farther here...

Wait.

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 sec. I'll be right back.

How's that work?

I don't understand.

We spent a couple of days filming

at this military surplus store in rural Georgia.

The customers were great, but it was unusually difficult

to get them to sign their releases to appear on the show.

Turns out that survivalists, off-gridders,

and doomsday preppers aren't interested

in being on a hidden-camera TV show.

Fortunately, though, we got the few that we needed.

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 never found again.

It was green like...

Like that one.

There'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,

'cause the retinal camo --

I'm gonna put it on. You'll see the difference.

You see how --

They weave it, and the threads have

metallic threads inside of it.

Yeah.

So it sort of bounces --

The light bounces off your eyes a little bit.

Do you see that?

Yeah.

And this one comes with --

Did 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 it 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.

Uh-huh.

But in the woods or whatever...

And that's a real --

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 it shining? You don't see that.

No. Come on.

Are you playing with me? Really?

You see this? [ Gasps ] 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?

[ Gasps ]

So you can wear this,

and you don't really feel anything on there.

Like, if you're trying -- like, people are trying

to get things like... Wow!

'Cause you're not allowed to have stuff on the airplane...

Wow. ...that's that large,

so people just bring their regular products on.

I'm trying to see it.

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. No.

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.

'Cause he's patterned --

Oh!

...in this little camo outfit.

[ Kitten meows ] Isn't he great?

Yes. [ Giggling ]

This is Tucker.

[ Speaking indistinctly ] Yeah, and he just sits in

a little pocket,

and I can bring him on the plane.

Oh, my gosh.

[ Smooches ]

Isn't he the best?

Oh, my gosh.

So, if you're interested in hiding anything,

it's retinal camo.

You're gonna want to use that.

Wow. 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.

Bye-bye. "Meow! Bye-bye!"

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

Okay.

It's a little camo joke.

[ Laughs ]

How are you? Great.

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 our Virginia base, so...

You see how the crate says "Carbo"?

In the early days of the show, we used to come up

with little Easter eggs like that,

but nowadays we try not to arouse suspicion

by referencing my name.

He said there was a mannequin figure in here,

so we'll probably set that up.

Want to put that on the table?

And...

Here you go. Take that.

All right.

What kind of head do they have on there?

I have no idea.

Oh, that's cool.

All right, let's, uh...

Oh, and this is the --

Do you want to unwrap those?

Yeah.

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 know if we have to screw it or...

Looks like it has a thing.

There we go.

[ Clicks ] 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, wait. Let's turn him this way.

Said there's, like, a power pack or something?

Wow.

Michael: There's, like, wires.

Yeah, everywhere.

That is peculiar.

Here, wait. Let's write down...

Just write down what we had.

We had legs, right? [ Motor whirring ]

What the...

Yo. What happened?

It stepped down.

Shut up. Stop it.

No, for real.

That's scary.

Did it move?

It stepped down and then stepped back up.

No. That's stupid. Don't say that.

Yo...

I might be trippin'.

I hope it doesn't do it again,

'cause then I'll feel bad.

What's in the, um... in that box?

Get this guy...

The remote. Okay.

Here, I'll put the head on.

Does that thing work?

Let me see. No?

Wait. Step back.

It's...

Push them both up.

[ Gasps ] He's moving.

Huh?

He moved.

Did you do that? Yeah.

I'm -- I knew I wasn't trippin'.

Oh, my gosh!

That's insane.

Do it again, do it again.

[ Motor whirring ]

Oh, wow.

I told you.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you -- Yo!

[ Laughs ]

That is great. Keep -- Keep moving it.

Oh, it works.

What is -- Is this, like, - It's --

Are you -- Okay.

Now, I don't want to give away the secret of this trick,

but I will say the following --

It's either a robot that can mimic human movements

or a human that can mimic robot movements.

I'll let you decide.

Oh. It's not going off. Wait, wait, wait.

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 both up.

Here, let me get it.

Okay. [ Motor whirring ]

Yeah, pull the batteries out of the back.

[ Batteries clatter ]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, it's still making noise.

[ Motor whirring ]

They should give a person a warning

that it's gonna go ballistic real quick.

Okay. [ Sighs ]

Have you seen anything like that before?

I've never seen anything like that before.

'Cause, at first, it picked up the box,

and then it just went haywire.

Yeah. Maybe that's why they stopped making them.

Probably. Yeah.

I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw it 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.

[ Both laugh ]

I'm Michael Carbonaro.

You're on my show, "The Carbonaro Effect."

No. Yes.

Oh, man, that is cool.

For a second, I was about to run.

Michael: You were so great.

[ Both laugh ]
