Michael Carbonaro: Wonderboy

Best known as the star and executive producer of the hit series The Carbonaro Effect on truTV, Michael Carbonaro has also appeared in Happily Divorced, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, and CSI: Miami. A lifelong magician, he studied experimental theater at NYU and began entertaining audiences through hidden-camera magic, featured frequently on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. His success there led to The Carbonaro Effect, which has aired over 100 episodes on truTV. A trickster at heart, Carbonaro performs inventive illusions on unsuspecting members of the public-making cars vanish, alien crabs turn into kittens, and reality itself bend in hilarious ways. Whether posing as a barista, curator, or store clerk, his clever stunts and deadpan delivery leave audiences amazed and laughing out loud.
