Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

livingitupak This show is the worst. There have been so many camera flaws where you can obviously see the "trick". EXAMPLE. The valet with "non entry parking".. when he pushes the car you can see the driver and his arms with a mild blur edit over the windshield. So youd think the person working valet would also notice a person get into the car and drive away.... its all paid actors lol and if t heyre not they are known to roll with the punches. Anything else is all camera edits . I cannot believe michael calls himself a magician even though its all camera edits. He hasnt done 1 trick himself that couldnt be dont without the camera. Horrible show and the producer is knwon for buying actors and stand ins for his show.

Mary Jo Sawyer Great magic tricks. The explanations & how he (Michael) says things are so hilarious!!! Love watching the 'victims' facial expressions too. Thanks to all who came up with this. Getting pretty rare finding a good show to watch. Laugh your stress away.....Check this show out. I just watched all the episodes on my cable On Demand. I sure hope I will be able to get/find more. I know I would react the same way as the others which scares me because Michael says some real bizarre things as to what they have just witness. His shoe laces "remembered" how to tie themselves! He lifts his foot up and starts rolling it in a circle. As he is doing this we are seeing his shoe being tied, by itself. Feel so much better after watching programs that cause me to laugh, a lot.

paul-230-718133 The magic is fantastic, and Carbonaro is a great host...but 2 things jump out. The first is that there's never anybody in the store or area being filmed. These are hardware stores, toy stores, nutrition stores...and they are always 100% empty except for Carbonaro behind the counter. The other thing that jumps out is that the people being "tricked" are disproportionately black. I am not sure why this is...but the show could be titled "Michael Carbonaro does magic for unsuspecting black people in empty stores". The people in the show are definitely not actors, but the producers find a way to keep other people away from the trick. The magic, though, is really good and the reactions seem genuine. Carbonaro is a very talented magician.

lilmul123 If you accept this show for what it is at face value, you'll probably be very entertained by it finding yourself exclaiming, "How did he do that?! That's amazing!" Carbonaro's tricks are pretty funny, and the people's reactions are also amusing.However, if you look past that, you'll find a hollow shell of a show made up of simple camera tricks and cut-aways along with poor actors in order to make you think that all of the tricks are legitimate. The tricks are too elaborate to be sleight-of-hand as in most magic. For example, there is an episode where Carbonaro is working at a sporting goods store, and a "random woman" comes into the store to return a sleeping bag that's too small. She places the bag on the counter, he inspects it by opening it up, and after a few cut-aways later, there's a giant snake coming out of the bag, and of course, the woman is shocked. In the same episode, a "pizza delivery woman" brings a pizza to the counter, he says that he ordered the wrong kind of pizza, he places the pizza on a spinning chair, spins it a few times, and then after a couple cut-aways, he opens the pizza box, and suddenly, it's a different pizza. Even if these people were not actors, the props would still need to be set up in advance so that the trick could be effective. Carbonaro has to know about the pizza box and the sleeping bag in order to make a trick out of them. These types of circumstances are common across all the episodes.If these tricks were done with one long continuous shot, then yes, they would be very convincing. Unfortunately, his "magic" essentially consists of showing you one thing, telling you to close your eyes for five seconds, and then suddenly showing you something else and asking you to act amazed. If you try really hard to suspend your disbelief, you will find entertainment in the show. If you look past that and analyze Carbonaro's "tricks," you'll easily see that it's just actors pretending to be impressed regular people trying to convince you to be entertained.
