‘The Carbonaro Effect’: Michael Carbonaro on Going From Jay Leno’s Magic Clerk to Hosting His Own Magic Show..
Very good interview by Robert Chan for Yahoo TV.
Michael Carbonaro just wants to make your life a little more magical. In his new show, “The Carbonaro Effect,” the magician crafts elegant stunts so that people don’t even realize magic is happening. Imagine if David Copperfield were your grocery clerk. Heck, why imagine it?
The show is a modern, smarter take on “Candid Camera.” We talked with the actor/comedian/magician, who spent a season on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” before spinning off his Magic Clerk segment into this new show (in which he also plays bartenders, waiters, and office co-workers), about his influences, how to convince people a duck is not a duck, and why it’s so important for him to take the ego out of magic.’
