Illusionist sells the impossible..

Illusionist sells the impossible..

(Season 2 of the Carbonaro Effect starts tonight.. 7/29)  Illusionist Michael Carbonaro doesn’t have much use for show-off magicians. To him, their acts are more about the magician and less about the magic.

Which is why, he says, he focuses the attention on the prank and not on himself on his truTV hidden-camera series “The Carbonaro Effect.”

“It’s very exciting to take magic into a new direction,” the 33-year-old native of Long Island, N.Y., said, “whereas a lot of times magic comes from a place of sort of ego, like, ‘Look what I can do that you can’t do.’ It kind of comes across that way a lot and you’re always trying to challenge the magician, you’re always trying to figure out how the magician is doing it.

“So the whole conceit to take the magician out of the equation and don’t even take responsibility for (the prank) and just sort of ride the moment with a real, unsuspecting public person who just witnessed something magical happen, it’s an awesome ride and we learn so much,” he continued. “You know, people are really willing to believe in impossible things, which is really beautiful.”
