Michael Carbonaro

Magician and performance bizarrist Michael Carbonaro has performed more than 500 "comically perplexing" feats of magic on his hit TV series The Carbonaro Effect. On the show, he fools members of the public who don't know that he is a magician. In one segment, he makes a car disappear before a security guard, and in another, he makes alien crabs transform into kittens in a science lab. He's posed as a coffee shop barista, a museum curator and a store clerk. Tonight, he brings his theater show, Michael Carbonaro... Live!, to town. It promises to be "jam-packed with audience interaction, hilarious video clips and a whirlwind of mind-blowing magic performed live on stage." The show begins at 8 at Hard Rock Live.
