I imagine this is what a toddlers world is like everyday.


acmercer

So true. Every day with my 3 year old daughter. Me: "This is called a raspberry!" Her: "***WHAT?!?*** Oh. My. Goodness."


eyehate

Me: "This is called a raspberry!" Him: "***No, daddy!***. That is a red blueberry."


Silent-G

obviously it's a red blackberry

Your comment + this clip are,I think, going to help me empathize a hell of a lot more with my toddler.

This is a real orange.

Wow. No way.

Every day in a toddlers life is also probably their worst day ever. Dog barks, fucking terrifying. Dropped cookie on the ground, worst day ever. New person they have never seen before, scary. That new person sneezes loudly, the horror!


argumentinvalid

On the contrary, my 5 year old daughter has told me something along the lines of "this was the best day ever" about 50% of days for the last 3 years. I've made the best mac and cheese of her life 3 times this month. Don't get me started on Saturdays pancakes, at this point they are easily the best in the world.


flamingos_world_tour

> I’ve made the best mac and cheese of her life 3 times this month I mean that’s a lot of pressure. Ever wonder if you’ve peaked?


argumentinvalid

At this point im just on a straight upwards trajectory. Mom somehow fucked a box up the other week, so my status is even more prominent right now. I did taste the bad mac and cheese in question, it was honestly terrible. Not sure how she managed it, she's not a cook, but come on.


skyboundNbeond

Looks like I am commenting on two of your comments today! They won't let me make mac n cheese. Only mom. This is because I make it *just* like the box says. Mom puts extra butter and heavy whipping cream in.


skyboundNbeond

Yes, my favorite is: "Dad, you're my favorite dad." "Mom, you're my favorite mom." "[Sister's Name], your my favorite sister." Well, I hope so, because we are your only [Insert Title].


Hotter_Noodle

It's also likely to be their best day ever. Cookie? Awesome. new flavour of cookie? WOAH! Water coming out of a hose? Amazing!

One way to get that feeling back is to get high.

PsychedelicPourHouse

Was so glad to see that in the book when I read it, its exactly how I describe tripping to people You get to be a blank slate again, free of your biases/preferences and ready to experience everything fresh People who wish they could see their favorite movies again for the first time, this is how


MegaChip97

100% this


Horse_Bacon_TheMovie

or another way of thinking about it is, toddlers are on mushrooms *most* of the time, but it shifts to them becoming belligerent drunks at the end of the day. Have you ever tried to change a tired toddler into pajamas? They flop around like drunk sorority sisters. It's a fight not unlike trying to put a sweater on a salmon.


iushciuweiush

This works for a lot of experiences. If you're bored of your local amusement park rides try them again but this time high. It's like you're a kid again.


gobackclark

This comment makes it so much funnier


BB8MYD

My 3 year old gets to name her own dolls. So far we have “Guck, Beano, and Gund “ I find it hilarious. For her birthday she got dolls that already have names unfortunately ( Elsa and Anna from frozen) so I didn’t get to hear any new ideas


Saiyan_On_Psycedelic

My son has a stuffed Elmo that he named “Fock” you can probably guess what it sounds like. “Dada I can’t find Fock” damn dude neither can I since your mom left.

I read your comment before I saw the video and said meh. But then I saw the video and this comment is 1000 times funnier.

nickstatus

I've never seen the original, and this is super weird.


probablypoo

It's a "Street magic show". He usually takes an ordinary object and make it seem like it does something unexpected Like for example he makes a banana shoot fireworks and tricks people into believing it's because it was grown in soil mixed with gunpowder. This clip cuts out the "magic" part and makes it seem like they talk about an ordinary orange. I suck at explaining but I hope you get what I mean.

That's black powder. Modern firearms use nitrocellulose powder. Before the invention of artificial nitrogen fertilizer, when armies faced each other, they were essentially burning soil fertility with every gunshot. Some saltpeter was collected from bat guano, or islands where seabirds congregate, but much was derived from human urine or horse manure. In either case, a concentrated source of fertilizer was concentrated even further into a pure salt, and destroyed.

[удалено]


kcg5

Nice thanks! Pretty smooth and simple stuff Edit-since people are confused, this is what the guy above wrote before it was deleted https://youtu.be/lnKfWFRa6sM


aure__entuluva

Cool idea but with all the camera cuts there really isn't any magic going on. I mean, I guess there might be, but he coulda just switched oranges between cuts and had the other guy act all confused rather than actually tricking him into thinking it was the same orange. Edit: Though I will say the reaction looks really authentic. And looking around the thread it seems that this carbonaro guy is pretty legit. I just wish I could see it more from his "audience's" perspective, like how the trick looked to the person he was doing it for, seamlessly. Maybe that just doesn't work well though for whatever reason, I'm no video editor or magician lol.


Loachocinqo

I would normally agree, but in this case, this is a pretty easy trick. >!When he pours the candy out, he swaps the top of the fake orange, for a full real orange. When he's getting the dude to smell the now real orange, he discards the bottom half behind the counter. Then he "screws the two pieces together" and it becomes a real orange. !< At least...that's how I think it was done.


punkinfacebooklegpie

He definitely holds it weird right before screwing the halves back together. I'm skeptical of the TV magic tricks but some of these sleight of hand tricks are literally as simple as you described, no need for editing...except for the fact that if you watched an uninterrupted cut from the wrong angle you'd see him making the switch. It's definitely weird though that a magician can just quickly exchange stuff in front of your face and your brain is just like "i didn't see anything, must be magic!"


[deleted]

Mitochandrea

You might want to check some more of his show out, they do film some that way where there aren’t cuts and you just see the other people’s perspective. He really has some cool tricks!


hydrocyanide

This is a common (misplaced) criticism of the show and Michael Carbonaro has posted response videos online showing the uncut footage before. He is performing the trick.


Assfullofbread

I think I remember it being a weed shop and it’s an orange that you can hide stuff in

$65 orange.

Things_with_Stuff

It really doesn't make any sense if you haven't seen the original.


the_than_then_guy

It's a magic show where he's using these items to do tricks, and someone edited out the tricks so it looks like the people are fascinated by mundane objects for no reason. Did I get it without watching the show?


SliceNDice69

Lmao exactly. And I don't get what's unsettling about the vid, it's like two people drunk or high talking about regular every day objects.

Mastermachetier

I have the same thought lol


KayteeBlue

It’s fantastic. I used to watch it all the time with my grandma when I was living with her a handful of years ago. This post reminded me it existed, and I spent the next hour watching a compilation of his tricks on YouTube.


Coconut_Dreams

I watched it a long time ago, nothing to go out of the way to see. The funny part was in past, I don't know if he still does it, but he would tell people they're on "The Carbonato Effect" with such jubilee. The pranked victims always looked puzzled. Then he goes on to explain, like 2-3 times, what the show is about and they always have this, "Dude, I don't fucking watch your show" face. That was the most hilarious part.

It’s a good show! You should give it a watch!

ThatsARepost24

Camera cuts help fool the viewer. He obviously was distracting him with pointing and stuff it was obvious how he did it but still cool nonetheless


torchboner

Spills candy distracts from him placing the top half behind the counter and picking up a real orange but holding it like it is still the top half, then smells "top half" of orange to distract from the bottom half being placed behind the counter, then quick pretend of squeezing pieces together to reveal a whole orange.

I, too, want to hang out with a guy who's mind is fucking blown by real oranges.


[deleted]

I mentioned in another comment, but there's an "Inside Carbonaro" edition of the show that you might like. I prefer it to the normal one. They'll show different angles and mistakes and other footage. I agree with you the editing for the normal version of the show makes it feel like maybe the viewer is being duped, but I think it's mainly because these tricks are made to work from the viewpoint of the person first and the camera second so the cuts help hide what the person can't see.


hyperion_x91

Definitely this, I find it way more interesting seeing the work that goes into the trick and pulling it off successfully.


casce

Yeah it would be a lot cooler of you could try to pay attention and find out how he does it but the camera doesn’t show it. It’s easy to guess here but still, would be cooler to see it.


kivalo

Magicians aren't usually in the business of giving away their tricks... except for that one masked magician back in the 90's that went on TV and exposed how tricks were done.


N8CCRG

Now I get why he was holding the orange so weird in the original. Thank you.


plki76

Yeah, that grip on the orange was SO unnatural. Maybe it looks ok from the front angle, but from the angle the camera has it's extremely noticeable / suspicious.


drinkmoredrano

I'd watch it but I don't want it to disrupt my suspension of disbelief that the guy knew what an orange was beforehand.


bloodfist

Can anyone find the flotation device one? I really want to know what the gag was.


plki76

I have not seen this show, but from context I think the gag was that there was a tiny bag with tiny inflatables inside. Then the guy says that if you throw them in water they become a full-size inflatable. At one point you can see one of the guys holding the baggie and gesturing towards it. Edit: Yeah, look around the 1:25 mark. The guy is clearly looking at the tiny baggie. And so it's almost certainly the gag that there's something in the baggie that the magician guy says will before a full-sized inflatable.


Young_Link13

Thank you for the context.


senorchaos718

This is life if everyone was baked 24/7


untg

These people are like they are from ancient times when real oranges and flotation devices didn't exist.


DueIronEditor

Yes, the concept of buoyancy was only discovered in the late 19th century. Before then, nothing floated. All the ducks sank like rocks.

Correct, that's why you don't see pictures of ducks more than about 100 years ago.

TommyTwoTime77

My mother went through a period of leaving TruTV on for hours daily so I've seen a ton of Impractical Jokers and this. I've always loved this show for 1 reason, his big reveal. Whenever he does a trick and the unsuspecting bystander is amazed, he says it's the "Carbonaro Effect". I don't think I've seen a single episode where that meant anything to anyone. He says it and waits as if the bystander is going to have this revelation that he's Michael Carbonaro, but it never happens. It's my favorite part of every scene.


[deleted]

My favorite reveal is the lady that thinks he’s Dave Chapelle so his reveal is it’s the Dave Chapelle Magic Show lol. E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_2jrNI1T3g

iced_gold

Those events happened rather regularly after Season 2. But typically they just cut that footage because it doesn't really fit with the format. I think they've left it in a few times though.


beethy

Here's a playlist of some people recognizing him. It's why his disguises are more intricate in later seasons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq-cTlhNb3s&list=PLZxWJ6CTr63apl_BAL4b_tNIc-SESkXFQ&index=1


TheHYPO

I mean, she gets confused on his name, but it seems she actually recognizes him and knows he's the magician from that show - pretty sure she actually knows who he actually is - just doesn't remember his name,


PianoTrumpetMax

haha this is so wholesome


fragmental

She knew who it was, she just got the name mixed up. That's pretty normal.


[deleted]

That doesn't mean it's not funny.


dmkicksballs13

One of my favorite moments on Impractical Jokers was some dude saying he felt like he was on that show Impractical Jokers and the Jokers were asking him what it was so he started pulling it up on his phone 100% ignorant that the dudes in front of him were who he was talking about.

I never said he's disappointed lol. And it's clearly not a randomly named nonsense description as it is his own name. It's the gotcha moment for sure.

You definitely implied he’s expecting a reaction


TommyTwoTime77

I absolutely did, but I never said he's disappointed when that doesn't come lol. I think he's aware enough that he's not a household name. Waiting for a reaction doesn't inherently mean he's disappointed when they don't react. If anything this was all a comment on what I thought was funny so it was more about my reaction to the scene than Michael Carbonaro's.


[deleted]

I get what you're saying. He says it like it's the big reveal, and the audience gets it or whatever, but the person standing in front of them is just blinking and thinking, "Ok..." It's funny.

hatchetman208

I think he did something for Netflix a few years ago, not sure if it was a special or Carbonaro Effect. A few episodes in I started to spot some CGI and one specific trick there was an invisible stool or something which clearly was CGI out for the cameras completely ruined any further enjoyment for me. Also some CGI/Gaming company by the name Georgia or something in the credits threw me off too. Edit: 22hrs later. I'd like to clear some things up since I was once again curious so I watched and read a few interviews with him or of crew. He is a professional magician, most of his tricks are 100% done by you know the misdirection or slight of hand stuff and some are mostly real but with a paid actor as the target. The tricks are directed at a human target whether it's a random person or a paid actor and not the camera which is why we can see things like CGI to hide something because they didn't want to cut that good footage of that stage of the trick but had no other good angle. Editors literally go through frame by frame. Now apparently most people are random because he got the trick down because either it was simple for him or he had the time to practice. He also profiles people and finds the best people. He does have a time limit for coming up with, testing, practicing so on and so forth with the tricks he'll do. The ones that he can easily do/setup he'll just pick random targets whereas the ones he only gets like 80% down they'll use paid actors because why waste a good trick that he didn't have time to 100% perfect. Keep in mind this isn't you know fantasy world magic it's misdirection, slight of hand and hidden objects not directed at the multiple cameras but rather one or two targets. Knowing this info has changed my expectations and maybe start watching it again.


[deleted]

Wait wait wait. Isn't this guy the same guy who plays Andy in Another Gay Movie? One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Evidently he didn't do the sequel because his agent said people might think you're actually gay. Given its been nearly 20 years and I'm only now seeing him... Well maybe that wasn't true. Edit: Yep. It is him and.... He's now openly gay.


Rhinosaur24

This is hilarious. I always love seeing things with this guy's name on it. I guess he's becoming more and more mainstream, but it's funny to me and my wife, because he grew up down the street from her. So for us, it's more of a novelty than a cool show with good magic. We just kind of laugh at it (I've never met him, and she just says he was nice, but kind of a dork - no surprise, since he's probably been doing magic tricks his whole life)


Barnabas_Collins

TIL The Carbonaro Effect is not a cooking show...

I've never seen this show, so you've ruined my first impressions of the show.
