In each new episode, Michael performs ingenious tricks on unsuspecting members of the public, all caught on hidden camera.

Whether posing as a coffee shop barista, museum curator or seemingly unremarkable store clerk, Michael Carbonaro's effect on people will leave you laughing out loud with his bewildering and thrilling illusions.
Tonight, while playing a dentist, Michael astounds patients with molar radio transmissions and floss-able government trackers. Then while appraising art, a once extinct species is sprung to life and Michael's style becomes instantly abstract. Finally, an unusual brew stirs a ghostly hallucination that will make your jaw drop.
In tonight's episode, while working at a tattoo parlor Michael gets some killer ink in a flash and turns tan lines into blurred lines. Then, it's SNAKES ON A SEDAN when a sinister serpent ambushes a routine car checkup. And down on the docks, one unlucky gentleman learns an unforgettable lesson about shrinkage.
