[@ulissepellegrino7175]

Yeah that was hilarious

[@chynakendlerose5964]

Thank you everyone! I'm #ChynaKendleRose. I had a blast doing this, although he scared me to death😂 Once I realized it was a prank I couldn't stop laughing. It still makes me 😂😂😂 every time I watch it, just replaying the entire experience. I was there bc I was "starting a new job at the massage school" I had no idea this was going down, I showed up ready to work and BAM Micheal Carbonaro got me Gooood😂 Shout out to him, he's a great guy! Thanks for giving me experience, I had never been pranked before.

yeah this is probably the darkest illusion I've seen in the show. not ghosts, not aliens... but actually making someone feel like they just killed a person... that's on a whole different level!

It is “dark” but takes me back to Punk’d era lol

[@BurtTurbo]

yeah, it's definitely crossing a line. Making someone think they might have killed someone is pretty low.

[@jjmah7]

@Br So well, when we uncover that she’s raped and murdered dozens of people I’ll retract my statement

[@jjmah7]

@Br So ah, I see. So if someone looks like a good person they’re really a serial killer. Got it.

[@TheAngieIshmael]

How so?

[@zelda7ase]

This is pretty dark. It can make people feel responsible for a death just for a moment. Still funny though.

[@jumpieva]

kinda what I was thinking. and then TWICE she did it lol

[@gordonfreeman1842]

Yes, she is pretty dark.

[@weakw1ll]

Lmao it looks like hes trying not to laugh

[@polarbearhero9803]

Someone with an unknown heart problem could have a heart attack. Thinking that you’ve killed someone is a major stress related even if only for 15 seconds. I would have been out of that room screaming for help. Stupid decision on someone’s part.

[@loris7660]

I guarantee I would've had a full on panic attack. I don't think this one is funny.

[@Vgamer311]

We're those snapping sounds actually played in the room? If so, that's cruel. And hilarious.

[@cscott2667]

Yes, the sounds were played.. It made me think I killed him

[@JuanGarcia-ls2xu]

2:06 she tought he was dead but still smirked when she saw his face

[@RonRay]

As far as I'm concerned, Michael's greatest ability is being able to keep a straight face! (..and in this cases, a straight head :)

[@heksqer1022]

This actually a pretty common trick that I once saw on the streets ! The rotating cylinder is actually just a shell that rotates and Michael rotates his head himself just to make it look like it's going with the cylinder. When he rotates his head as far as he can, the cylinder just slides over his face to the other side and he rotates his head back to the front to make it seem like it went all the way. If that makes any sense . English isn't my first language

[@Arcsecant]

Impossible, his head was clamped in.

[@GamingBlake2002]

@@Arcsecant Maybe it just makes noises and he controls the rotation with his head. There may be something in there for him to bite onto so he can rotate it while his head is "turned around"

[@Kevin-jc1fx]

Such an awesome woman.

[@Westryder907]

2:08 he pulls his head back a little bit so his head is stately out of the way of the 'face hole'... 2:10 he positions his face back in the 'face hole' so it looks like his head did a 360... but in reality he just turned his head from right to left and there was the bucket device covering his head to hide it so the impression is his head did a full 360 degree turn. I love the Carbonaro Effect but this one was a bit to obvious for me.

+Jeremy Womack no, he got a gal in the exorcist to show him the "ropes"...

If you think about it the machine didn’t even malfunctioned, cause according to Michael “it adjust to where his neck can actually stretch” and since he is supposedly alive after a 360, his neck actually got adjusted on his full limit haha.

When he returned from the back room he should have had his head fall off. She would have died.

Lmao pretty easy prank to pull off but a good one indeed, it's obvious how this one is done, right?

[@bwadehra]

zingadooda no please tell me

[@zingadooda]

His head doesn't actually go all the way around, obviously, he has the front blocked a bit on the sides so he just removes his face as it turns and puts it back in on the order side. Solved.

[@CourtTVFanFromPortland]

Hi. I am an assistant producer for 'the Carbonaro Effect. His head actually spins all the way around.

[@zingadooda]

Bubba Thomas If his head would have went all the way around, they would have the camera angles showing it, instead it's a simple take the face out on one side and put it in on the other. Which leads me to believe you obviously don't work for their show.

[@CourtTVFanFromPortland]

***** I do work for the show, I run errands and get coffee for the crew, Michael's assistant even told me that his head actually does spin. he can even gravitate into air.
