Best known as the star and executive producer of the hit series, “The Carbonaro Effect” on truTV, Michael Carbonaro has also made frequent television appearances in shows such as “Happily Divorced,” “30 Rock,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “CSI Miami.”


Now, Michael is bringing his latest stage show, Carbonaro: Lies on Stage to Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa on Thursday, August 22 at 8 pm.


Tickets are available noe via Tickemaster.



A performing magician since his youth, Carbonaro went on to study experimental theater at New York University with 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, he launched his hit comedic series, “The Carbonaro Effect,” which has run for over 100 episodes on truTV and currently airs in syndication worldwide. 


In this series, Carbonaro 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.


In 2016 Carbonaro embarked on his first theater tour with the widely acclaimed show “Michael Carbonaro Live!” and launched his current live show “Carbonaro: Lies on Stage” in 2021. 


Playing to over 200 thrilled audiences across the country, Carbonaro continues to showcase his unmatched blend of humor and charisma along with inventive illusions which amaze audiences of all ages, cementing himself as one of the most dynamic entertainers of his generation.
