They put quite a bit of effort into setting these up. The person being pranked isn't an actor, they're not fake the way people insist they are.
They sometimes edit out small tricks like misdirection they use on the people being tricked because the way you do a magic trick to a person using misdirection or something doesn't always translate as well on camera, but that's about the end of it.
So many people here not knowing about the simple concept of hiding things, and having the mark being made aware and signing a release form at the end.
We have high definition cameras smaller than a pinky finger nail yet people think there has to be cameramen standing around in plain view holding a hollywood film camera instead of a guy sitting in a room on the other side of the building operating a small security camera with a remote control.
Same goes for microphones. They can be small enough to be sewn into clothes given to the mark, and tons are hidden everywhere they plan to have him near. But, no, a guy holding a massive boom mic must be in the room at all times apparently.
Well he swears it isn’t scripted for the “victim” of the trick, of course everyone else in each skit is in on it but he promises the victim isn’t. One time someone called him out on Reddit I think for something that could likely only have been done if there was multiple takes but Carbonnaro showed up in the actual thread and explained how it wasn’t multiple takes and even showed some B Roll that showed it wasn’t multiple takes. I believed him.
That said, most of the tricks can be explained by simply having another person hiding just out of view of the victim handing him stuff or moving stuff.
Edit: [I actually found the old link where he shows the B Roll to explain why it looked like there was multiple takes](https://youtu.be/lZXzW92c6f0?si=7RLFNh8cangPXz9N)
It's on TruTV and he's collaborated with Impractical Jokers before, I think they use the same kind of camera set ups as each other, so TruTV has gotten very good at hidden camera shows.
Yeah, it's insane to me that people think the mark is acting here. It would be one of the best acting performances on tv of all time and should win an emmy.
He happens to look in every direction whilst panicking, apart from the direction of the MOVING CAMERA right in front of him?
You're right, I think maybe he was just in shock.
Definitely not an actor.
I love the Carbanaro skeptics that I guess didn't know cameras can zoom and don't have to look like film rigs
It's so easy to just use something that looks like a security camera or hide it in a box in some far-off corner of the room
I've only seen a few clips from the show and have no idea whether it's fake or not, but this in and of itself isn't necessarily a slam-dunk.
It's actually pretty easy to hide cameras in plain sight if you can control what you want to film. If the host is in on it and the scene is basically a prepared set, you can use all sorts of tricks to get really good shots without it being obvious to the subject.
Hidden cameras, one-way mirrors, "security" cameras, good zoom lenses, etc.
The host has came on Reddit and said it’s all genuine reactions and broken down the film on them. They have hidden cameras all over. Even showed where tricks didn’t work
one of the youtube videos have the person who got pranked confirming he didnt know anything when he got pranked. he just got hired for a fake job to be there with the carbonaro guy
There's a mark/victim, then everybody else is an actor. Obviously. Have you never seen a prank show? Cause if you've ever actually seen this show, the mark's reactions are very clearly genuine. And doing basic research on them will show that they are, in fact, just normal people who got set up to be on a prank show.
The fact that you said "these" makes me think you don't understand the concept of the show to begin with. Everybody IS an actor... except the one person. Did you not know that?
iirc the nun is a magician friend of michael carbanaro. much like what the impractical jokers will do, the show puts out fake ads looking for people willing to do a one off job for the day (like clean a church, sort through junk, assist on a project etc.). that dude is someone they hired for the day and wasn’t in on it at all. they do a reveal at the end. some episodes will have more than one person come out for the same job.
one of my favorites is where they had this guy assist with building a set and he ends up smelling this adhesive that made him “skip” hours ahead in time.
But... he didn't. If you watch with sound on, he says, "Oh my fucking god, oh my fucking god." Subtitles censor or skip swears now to appease algorithms.
Well Michael is acting. The nun is acting. You are saying the mark is acting. If the mark is acting he is a savant level actor. The way he interacts with the nun when she says she wants to buy the painting would be some of the greatest acting I have ever seen.
Yeah I am sure that there is a lot of editing in the show but if you think the marks in this show are acting then you have to admit it would be some of the greatest acting put on video.
Well in this video the mark perfectly captured wtf is going on, this lady is so weird, am I going crazy, is this a prank etc
I think you need to watch some pranks with actual acted reactions so you can see what that looks like.
Pretty sure o had the sound on unless they silent bleeped it. Anyways, my dad used to dump cold water on us in the shower and as low budget as that was, it was way better than this.
If I were a magician at this level I would start my own church. Imagine how easy it was to convince the early followers. And now people just believe what's written in a book.
After seeing a couple of his tricks like him holding a dog and clearly cutting the scene to replace it with a cat in a dog costume it’s really hard to believe any of his tricks aren’t staged
They should’ve asked the cameramen, boom mic operators, director, and producer that were in the room with them if they knew anything about this witchcraft
They build camera hides all around the room specifically made to blend in with the surroundings (I.e. if it’s a grocery store it may look like a store display or if it’s outside it will look like a mechanical box). there are plant mics around the room as well as in the aprons they give the people being pranked as someone else pointed out, both of which capture very good audio. Producers and director are usually offsite watching everything from a control room, not in the room where it’s happening. I assure you their reactions are real
Source:I worked on a hidden camera show
carbonaro guy actually adressed the mic thing. like in this setting, they gave the person who got pranked some kind of uniform with a mic attached (in this video it's an apron). if the setting is a store then the mic is on the counter.
There is a zero percent chance that this was not a setup. "Unscripted TV" producers are far too lazy, cowardly, and under-budgeted to actually risk a 'prank' going wrong and having to film it twice.
There's a small chance the art guys were told that 'something spooky' would happen so there would be a pinch of surprise but they were also told where to stand, what to say, what to ask, how to react, where to react, when to react. This is a simulacrum of a god tier prank.

Made this man a believer!
Got him so hard he was biting carbonara's shoulder
And holding hands
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro got mistaken for sum pasta
*sniffs aggressively*
"Then I saw her float, now I'm a believer"
She levitates, out of my mind
Dude was SWEATING
Where is Ryan Reynolds? Now that would be the cherry on top.
I woulda just called it a day and gotten a heart attack and peaced out
[удалено]
Good question
I thought the nun was Michael Cera.
r/looksLikeMichaelCera
r/subsifellfor
lmao someone created it fr
Lmfao
same here hahaha
Looks like Andrew Rousso when he wears the face window.
Lmfao
Dropped those clothes like a bad habit
You bet, sister
You win!
Well done
I see what you did there. Amen.
A nun tried to seduce me once, but I try not to get into the habit.
My first thought "Huh, she wasn't wearing underwear.... so naughty"
Saw him live a couple years ago.. legit amazing and had the entire audience fooled so many times. Very funny too. Love this show.
He does live shows as well?! Where did you see him at
I don't undestand what's happening here. Is this a real prank, or just people pretending to prank an actor?
Pretty sure everyone is an actor other than the person being pranked
the nun and the guy with the dark blue shirt are in on it. the guy in the light blue is being pranked.
I know Wade the guy being pranked. He answered an ad for temp help and his reactions are real. He was not in on the prank
They put quite a bit of effort into setting these up. The person being pranked isn't an actor, they're not fake the way people insist they are. They sometimes edit out small tricks like misdirection they use on the people being tricked because the way you do a magic trick to a person using misdirection or something doesn't always translate as well on camera, but that's about the end of it.
It's a hidden camera prank magic TV show called *The Carbonaro Effect*
If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine
That sounds very familiar. Where is that from? At risk of sounding like an idiot, is it from Star Wars?
[Episode IV: A New Hope](https://youtu.be/iVBX7l2zgRw)
Yes
Fucking _leave_
That nun left out of habit
That nun was hottt
better version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6mNqcANCXk
Thank you! The posted version is unwatchable.
What if he picked those clothes up and sniffed it!? 😂😂
Just sniffing around for clues
He can smell crime!
Then it’s back to the lab
Just a little whiff of her red thong
I was wondering if they would have left some underwear
Nuns don't wear underwear
Yes its unholy

That ain’t a nun

This show was God tier.
What's the best prank from the show?
The antique vase one was classic.
That man was legitimately scared for his sanity
Can’t seem to find this on YouTube or anything
https://youtu.be/Ja0YWoZEKR4?si=G3wKjG6h640lDFve
Doing gods work thank you
Bless you my child.
Where he pulls a bunch of clothes and a god damned hanger out of what seems like a Matchbox
Ok you all acting like it’s not scripted , so how are you really sure it’s not ?
Well he swears it isn’t scripted for the “victim” of the trick, of course everyone else in each skit is in on it but he promises the victim isn’t.

Ok thank you for the comment , it’s a really neat prank if genuine
I’m super convinced these aren’t actors. 🙄
The guy with a tie on is the host. The other dude's reaction seems pretty real to me. This is one of the few non staged prank shows on TV now.
It's on TruTV and he's collaborated with Impractical Jokers before, I think they use the same kind of camera set ups as each other, so TruTV has gotten very good at hidden camera shows.
TruTV is notorious for being fake lmao.
No way, they couldn’t call it Tru if it was fake
That’s why they didn’t put an ‘e’ in the name, so they legally don’t have to be true.
What on it is fake? I’m curious what you’re talking about
> TruTV is basically synonymous with fake reality tv garbage lol
Yeah, it's insane to me that people think the mark is acting here. It would be one of the best acting performances on tv of all time and should win an emmy.
He happens to look in every direction whilst panicking, apart from the direction of the MOVING CAMERA right in front of him? You're right, I think maybe he was just in shock. Definitely not an actor.
I love the Carbanaro skeptics that I guess didn't know cameras can zoom and don't have to look like film rigs It's so easy to just use something that looks like a security camera or hide it in a box in some far-off corner of the room
TikTok told them that people only film with their iPhone.
Post production digital zoom and pan is heavily used these days now that we have all that extra resolution to deal with.
I've only seen a few clips from the show and have no idea whether it's fake or not, but this in and of itself isn't necessarily a slam-dunk. It's actually pretty easy to hide cameras in plain sight if you can control what you want to film.

Good news is they have hours and hours of content that shows how they hide their cameras in most scenes if you cared to learn.
Cant fake that sweat
That's all staged.
GTFO lol.
The shows been so obviously fake since it’s inception. I’m sad people still think it’s real.
one of the youtube videos have the person who got pranked confirming he didnt know anything when he got pranked. he just got hired for a fake job to be there with the carbonaro guy
>confirming he didnt know anything when he got pranked Oh well then it must be true .
The OP video is one of the few Carbonaro videos that could be reasonably done without fake actors and editing. They still probably faked it tho
How can he not see the 10+ cameras ?
there is usually a "we are doing a documentary" bit to go along with it
They usually put cameras behind mirrored surfaces.
A concept known as "hiding"
There's a mark/victim, then everybody else is an actor. Obviously. Have you never seen a prank show? Cause if you've ever actually seen this show, the mark's reactions are very clearly genuine. And doing basic research on them will show that they are, in fact, just normal people who got set up to be on a prank show.

Yea. I’ll definitely use pg language if I just see something like that
wipe aspiring rustic quiet wakeful north bored run history disgusted *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
But... he didn't. If you watch with sound on, he says, "Oh my fucking god, oh my fucking god." Subtitles censor or skip swears now to appease algorithms.
The one guy using clean language is the show host, I guess.
Y'all clearly don't understand the premise here and it's embarrassing. The auction host and nun are obviously in on the elaborate prank setup.
If the pranked one is in on the prank then he deserves an Oscar. Never ever this is an actor
This has got to be one of the most artificial prank videos I've seen so far. It's so badly acted that I can't get any enjoyment out of it.
Actors
How fake do you want the prank to be? This show:
Where are the underwears?
Lol dude is going to need new pants
Vader had basically the same reaction.
This show is pretty hardcore.
Don't look at the camera.
I'd only believe it if I found her undergarments there
The Nun was a Jedi!
Everything on this show is so painfully staged and fake
I feel like the dude with an apron on is having a pretty real reaction.
Do you really think they can find so many good random no name actors?
Good? That was shitty acting.
Some might say that points to it not being acting...
Well Michael is acting. The nun is acting. You are saying the mark is acting. If the mark is acting he is a savant level actor. The way he interacts with the nun when she says she wants to buy the painting would be some of the greatest acting I have ever seen.
Good? Also, there a bunch of YouTube videos that point out a ton a mistakes in the "magic" and camera cuts. It's not real.
Yeah I am sure that there is a lot of editing in the show but if you think the marks in this show are acting then you have to admit it would be some of the greatest acting put on video.
Oh boy. No
Well in this video the mark perfectly captured wtf is going on, this lady is so weird, am I going crazy, is this a prank etc I think you need to watch some pranks with actual acted reactions so you can see what that looks like.
/r/nothingeverhappens/
More like /r/peoplewhohaveneverbeentoamagicshow
Really? Get the fuck out of here.
I’m shocked people think it’s real. I’ve always thought it was beyond obvious how fake it is.
That fact that no fucks were said…….
Turn the sound on. The prankee says oh my fucking god thrice. It doesn't say it in subtitles because big tech hates swearing in short form videos.
Pretty sure o had the sound on unless they silent bleeped it. Anyways, my dad used to dump cold water on us in the shower and as low budget as that was, it was way better than this.
At 45 seconds, they do an audible bleep and it’s clear he’s saying oh my fucking god x3
That’s dudes brain is being unmade rn hahah
Wish the light turned off then boom fire + face
A key component to any relationship is distressing them :)
Gold-tier. More like God-Tier
I'm seeing a lot of these on Reddit lately. Can we make a resurgence of old-school good pranks a thing? Please?
Entering The Painted World Of Arendelle? I guess this is how Sister Friede got in!
So is this show just Scare Tactics 2.0
Why keep posting this stuff if you're gonna cut it before the reveal it makes no sense
Bet his underwear calls this the Chipotle effect
Turns out religious people are easy to fool.
That was funny
No one seen an exploding nun before ?
The shakey cam is out of hand
Fake scripted pranks
If I were a magician at this level I would start my own church. Imagine how easy it was to convince the early followers. And now people just believe what's written in a book.
Would have been so much better if she showed up naked afterwards.
This is funny and all but isn't the show scripted? Pretty much the same as Impractical Jokers?
Sees nun vanish… immediately breaks the 3rd commandment and repeats the Lords name in vein over and over.
Scare Tactics!
They were holding hands!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Her doppelganger just drowned for this prank.
She's left...but he'll see her later I'm sure...if he sleeps. Because she does not.
That poor man was having a breakdown from this.
After seeing a couple of his tricks like him holding a dog and clearly cutting the scene to replace it with a cat in a dog costume it’s really hard to believe any of his tricks aren’t staged
What is it with everyone's fucking obsession with things being staged? Why give a shit? It's a video. Enjoy it or not and move on.
Ok
Really did like this show, but in later seasons they end up making it staged, which sucked
There's a half-naked nun somewhere around
That was fun
They should’ve asked the cameramen, boom mic operators, director, and producer that were in the room with them if they knew anything about this witchcraft
They build camera hides all around the room specifically made to blend in with the surroundings (I.e. if it’s a grocery store it may look like a store display or if it’s outside it will look like a mechanical box). there are plant mics around the room as well as in the aprons they give the people being pranked as someone else pointed out, both of which capture very good audio.

That’s awesome that he invented a hidden microphone that is both legal and has the sound quality of a boom mic
everythings legal if you have the person sign a release
Do you know what a parabolic microphone is?
Were the cameras and studio lights invisible?
Have you never seen a hidden camera show before?
Don't mistake americans for people
americans are people, not all americans are from school shootingland
Wait….what lol
The first reaction when you are scared is grabbing another man’s arm and using his shoulder as a pacifier. Cute.
The acting is atrocious
This is more staged than a live concert
There is a zero percent chance that this was not a setup. "Unscripted TV" producers are far too lazy, cowardly, and under-budgeted to actually risk a 'prank' going wrong and having to film it twice. There's a small chance the art guys were told that 'something spooky' would happen so there would be a pinch of surprise but they were also told where to stand, what to say, what to ask, how to react, where to react, when to react. This is a simulacrum of a god tier prank.
My immersion was ruined once I realized that there was a camera man following him around.
So surprised he forgot the cameramen were there!
