The Carbonaro Effect

Michael gets a bug out of a customers phone; patrons at a bar fall for a never-ending beer bottle; gullible co-workers believe Michael can freeze-dry animals and reanimate them.

Posing as a cashier, Michael makes a shopper's face appear on a milk carton and tries to convince her that she really is a missing person. Then, in a shipping store he has customers believing that impossible technology of the future has arrived, like a bowling ball that can be mailed in a flat box. Plus, he has a hotel guest questioning her identity when he swaps her ID, and stumps a valet when he does a disappearing act from his car.

Posing as a thrift store employee, Michael makes shoppers believe that a real waddling duck is just a lifelike decoy and confuses clerks with a never-ending chain of hangers. Then, he convinces liquor store customers that some corks are made of cheese and a wine can freeze on command. Plus, in a museum he shocks a gullible new employee by destroying a priceless piece then impossibly reconstructing it.

Michael convinces car wash patrons that he broke their window, only to miraculously fix it with the push of a button. Then, dry cleaning customers are confused when Michael is suddenly wearing their clothes in the blink of an eye. Plus, he has pet store shoppers convinced that they're seeing multiple fish in an empty water bowl.

Michael convinces customers to buy toys that couldn't possibly exist, like bubbles that turn into Christmas ornaments when you catch them. Then, as a personal trainer, he makes a client think he actually sweat enough to fill a bucket. Plus, a security guard panics when Michael makes a car disappear on his watch.

At a sporting goods store, a confused customer debates the laws of physics with Michael after he suddenly makes a lightweight box impossibly heavy. Then as a barista, Michael shows cafe patrons that glass is not nearly as impenetrable as it seems. Plus, he spooks museum workers when he shows that boomerangs really do always come back, and that taxidermy is a less than permanent solution.
