The Carbonaro Effect - "Might be Trippin'" - Thursday Dec. 18, at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT)

truTV's hit comedic series The Carbonaro Effect features Michael Carbonaro, magician by trade and prankster at heart. In each new episode Michael performs ingenious tricks on unsuspecting members of the public, all caught on hidden camera. Watch jaws drop when he causes a car to disappear into thin air or turns a tuft of hair into a living puppy. Whether posing as a coffee shop barista, museum curator or seemingly unremarkable store clerk, Michael Carbonaro's Effect on people will leave you laughing out loud with his bewildering and thrilling illusions.

Tonight, when filling in as a karate instructor, Michael disrupts the Zen of his student with skills that literally lift him off the ground and at a toy store, Michael's frog necklace is so fashionably realistic that it has one little girl begging for a new pet. Then at a military outfitting store, Michael and an employee put together a clothing display that puts the "man" in mannequin.
