The Carbonaro Effect - Multiplying Frogs Revealed

[@thebookboxbuddyshow6060]

LOL !! Well, hi everyone! This is Scott Durr, the guy who got played hard! Still can't believe that happened to me! How many times have I seen someone on tv in these types of situations....never did I think it would happen to me! I am the one used to playing the practical jokes! I do my own kind of magic with kids, hosting my own storytelling shows. Never, ever thought I would be on the receiving end!! lol Lots of fun!!!

[@hildagaray3298]

Hi Scott! Do you know how he did the trick??

[@thebookboxbuddyshow6060]

+Lila Garay Hi! No! I have no clue!!! I was very close to him the whole time. Nothing looked out of the ordinary!

[@thebookboxbuddyshow6060]

I thought I looked ridiculous!! BUT, everybody says I played it beautifully. lol

[@goldeneddie]

it took him longer to accept that it was a magic trick than it did for him to believe that 5 little frogs can become one BIG frog! Hilarious!

[@Sanosuke18]

Was about to comment exactly the same thing but looked through the comments first because I was sure I wasn't the only one who found that hilarious :D Well here you go.

[@salahhe]

Kinda explains religion, doesn't it?

[@Bminor87]

Explains more the belief in evolution. People are more ready to believe amazing and complex stuff happened by random chance, than that a God simply created it.

[@h91rex100]

Jesse Hellman You're completely clueless on the tbeory of evolution. Btw, which god are you referring to?

[@Bminor87]

h rex I'm not completely clueless, and I did not refer to any god. As you can see, I sais "a god" meaning "some god". There is no god specified. If you are insecure about your beliefs go read books. Arguments with random people will at best make you feel smarter than you actually are. Let me be clear, I'm not arguing here for or against evolution. Belief in evolution (and the events that lead to it according to an atheistic worldview) is just a better comparison to this persons reactions than belief in a god. And please don't give me that bs about evolution (if taken in its broadest sense) not being a belief but science, unless you're ready to send me your own research on the matter by email.

[@jonpark6650]

Michael is so good at what he does and the victims are so caught up in the illusions that Michael has to almost snap them out of their hallucination to understand that they are on a magic TV Show.

[@joedorben3504]

Wowwwww

[@imhenotic]

Michael is sooo good and convincing that even when he says to people they are on a TV show, they don’t believe him, his performance is that powerful, so talented. I’m just glad this dude is not a politician

[@ethanfreeman1106]

this dude had the BEST reaction. i understand micheal. if i were a magician, i'd want an audience exactly like him. smart, observant, genuine and very funny when you get him good.

[@HaddadCH]

I like how he's more willing to believe that five little frogs transformed into one big frog than the fact that he's on a magic show.

[@denniskuruvilla178]

He could believe that five frogs fused to form a seamless mega frog, but could not believe that the guy was a magician? 😂

[@TheLunatrick]

This guys love for the frogs is adorable

[@RhazOfRheos]

honestly, I think from all the episodes, this one is staged. The guys reaction doesnt look genuine to me.

[@MotleyStew]

Scott: “They??” Michael: It’s 2022! It identifies as They. 😂

[@Scoopski_Potato]

I love how he is more likely to believe frogs can melt into each other and less likely to believe he is on a hidden camera magic show. That took some convincing.

[@meanberryy]

I would 100% fall for this. So well made.

[@aceofspades001]

I love this show! Just started watching it with my parents. I've haven't laughed this hard in a long time! My stomach hurts. Just love it!

[@MrKooderna]

The best part is that instead of trying to amaze them, he tries to rationalize what they witnessed. He's not selling them on magic, he's selling them in some rational explanation for it, it's hilarious and even more amazing.

I just watched a man get gaslit into thinking he was looking at some INCREDIBLE camouflage... You could see the look on his face, he KNEW it was just one big frog, but the whole “see look it doesn’t even look real” is what really got him, making him think he’s somehow missing some important detail that gives the “illusion” away. His eyes go from full disbelief to confusion, like Are we looking at the same frog? Am I the one who’s incorrect?

After watching one video where camera tricks are used in order to fool the viewer into thinking an actual magic trick was done, I don't feel convinced that these are real reactions. I can sense the acting and staged performances. If you love truTV then you should watch Impractical Jokers. Easily one of the best if not THE best shows that should never be cancelled.

+Russell Arch Shame on you for producing this trash. Mr. Carbonaro, is Satanist and uses Demonic Spirits to do those tricks. Everything that was ever done on the show was real but it is all done through Demonic Power. This show is pathetic and horrendous and mute testimony to the degradation of our society, lets all sit down as a family and be entertained by a Satanic sorcerer using demons. Way to go dude. I suggest you repent of the crap immediately and tell Carbonaro to take his demons and go back to hell were he belongs!!!!
