About

Best known as the star and executive producer of the hit series, THE CARBONARO EFFECT which ran for over 100 episodes on truTV and can now be seen on HBOMax, Michael Carbonaro is once again entertaining audiences around the country with his brand-new tour CARBONARO: LIES ON STAGE. A performing magician since his youth, Carbonaro went on to study experimental theater at New York University with the aspirations of entertaining audiences through a variety of theatrical mediums, including hidden-camera magic, which he later showcased frequently on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

Following Carbonaro's frequent late-night appearances, Michael was presented with the opportunity to launch his hit comedic series, "The Carbonaro Effect," which has run for over 100 episodes on truTV. In this series, Michael performs inventive tricks on unsuspecting members of the public who are unaware that he is a magician. Jaws drop when he causes a car to disappear from under a security guard's nose or makes alien crabs transform into kittens in a science lab. Whether posing as a coffee shop barista, museum curator, or seemingly unremarkable store clerk in the REAL world, Carbonaro's illusions - along with his absurd, matter-of-fact explanations - leave REAL people bewildered and families at home laughing out loud.

Starting in 2016 Michael embarked on an incredible run for his first theater tour with the widely acclaimed show "Michael Carbonaro Live!" Entertaining hundreds of thousands audience members over more than 200 shows the tour cemented Michael as one of the most dynamic pure entertainers of his generation. With "Carbonaro: Lies on Stage", he will continue to showcase his unmatched blend of humor and charisma along with brand new illusions which will amaze audiences of all ages.

    Carbonaro is a Spicy Theatrical Treat

    by CptDetroit on 3/5/24Music Hall Center - Detroit

    While the venue left much to be desired, Michael Carbonaro did not. His show started at nearly the precise time the ticket stated (many artists do not), and right away he was amusing, entertaining, lighthearted and, yes, magical. Carbonaro didn't just make the audience laugh, he engaged younger members and adults alike, making it a show everyone could enjoy. I particularly like that Carbonaro called out the disruptive audience members, giving them 2-3 chances to tone it down before he requested security take care of them. Well done, pisano! The theater was not up to the level of standard that this theatrical genius bestows upon his audience, but because he is so spectacular everyone quickly overlooked that and Michael made it a night to remember. You should DEF go see this performer.

    FUN

    by DeAngelis on 3/5/24Music Hall Center - Detroit

    Michael’s show was a lot of fun. I wasn’t sure how a live show would incorporate what he does on tv but he did a good job. I loved how much he engaged with the audience. Michael had a great sense of humor and was very charismatic.

    Funny guy

    by NOLAguy on 10/31/23The Charleston Music Hall - Charleston

    He kept the audience awake and not knowing what to expect. Should have ordered a double before the show started, the concessioniers were more than likely bored because no one was leaving their seats. It musta have been “THE DEVICE” that he invented. Great show!!

    It was just ok

    by Opinion on 10/25/23Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    The show was mediocre. I do like his style and tv show. But, the stage performance was really not that good.

    Michael has great showmanship

    by RozH on 10/24/23Beau Rivage Theatre - Biloxi

    I loved his show. He is so funny. I laughed out loud quite a few times. The magic was not exciting but was entertaining. We sat in the upper level and saw everything perfectly. Only negative is the seats are very narrow. Not comfortable.
