Michael Carbonaro has wowed audiences with his mind-bending tricks for almost two years on truTV’s “The Carbonaro Effect,” but is it all fake?

The magician responded to criticism of his hidden camera prank show on Monday by posting an unedited video of one of his performances for the series. The 33-year-old said he’s aware some viewers may think his illusions are done in front of hired actors and that multiple takes of each trick are shot, but claims that’s not the case.  Watch videos at:
