"The Carbonaro Effect" is a TV show where Michael Carbonaro, a magician, pulls off incredible magic tricks on unsuspecting people.

For example, Carbonaro and his team spend months planning and rehearsing each trick, and they often have to work around unexpected obstacles. In addition, the show has a large crew, including cameramen and audio technicians, who have to be carefully coordinated to capture the magic as it happens.
Overall, "The Carbonaro Effect" is a unique and entertaining TV show that combines magic, comedy, and behind-the-scenes elements. Whether you're a fan of magic or just looking for a fun show to watch, "The Carbonaro Effect" is definitely worth checking out.
Who would have thought that the same man who used to put surgical gloves over his head to gain laughs could become so enormously popular, not to mention talented as Howie Mandel. His most recent endeavor includes taking the concept of an increasingly popular concept of flash mobs and turning it into a successful Fox television program called Mobbed. The program combines the "candid camera" concept with surprise occurrences leading up to some pretty interesting programming. Among the plans are a marriage proposal, a pregnancy disclosure, and a job applicant finding she got the job. This is all done with the aid of thousands of guests so the surprise ending is saved for show's end. Viewers watch as guests prep for the main event and rehearse their lines and routines. Mandel is there to guide them through detailed plans until the grand finale. Starting with a few dancers the show moves into a grand scale type performance to conclude some pretty life changing events we can all watch on the show. Highly addictive new show!

Now we watch in anticipation to see who will fail and fall next.

Try it! It is absolutely addictive!

Accessorize! Add on those extra touches to give the whole picture. Fashionable people know that choosing the right accessory can finish their outfit and that without that hand bag or gloves or shoes that go well with their dress, gown, or suit the entire effect is lost. This television show is all about designing just the right accessories and who can do it the quickest and the best. Twelve designers start out the competition and as weeks go by eliminations bring the count down to a single winner. Season one began with some really slow and tedious viewing but things pick up once the competitors are whittled down to the cream of the crop. Designing is not as easy as many think and especially finding the right accessory to go well with a particular outfit, it can become messy! Debra Messing (Will & Grace) is one of the guest judges who help the winning contestant earn the final reward of $100,000 worth of help from eBay Fashion that can go toward starting their own line of accessories.
The term foodie has become popular because there are so darn many cooking programs on television now days! A foodie is basically an amateur gourmet. A foodie is someone who loves food, both eating it and making it. Shows like Top Chef are designed to show how difficult it can be to get that special dish served up, starting with the basics like proper measuring, cooking temperature, timing, and the ability to know what tastes good. Then things get competitive! The idea behind Top Chef is to narrow down the competition by process of elimination until there is one winner. Top prize has been upped from $100,000 to $200,000 plus celebrity appearances and coveted editorials in gourmet type magazines. Along the way some fail because they don't belong in the heat of a professional kitchen and some just can't quite keep up with the rest. Judges have included some big famous names of the culinary world like Emeril Lagasse and Anthony Bourdain who bring their own style of leadership into the mix and make demands that increase the challenges each week. The very competitive world of cooking at the professional level is rewarding and tests the contestants to the limits of their capabilities, and the loser packs up his or her knives and goes home.
If you like watching shows like the Jersey Shore and all those Housewives of"¦ somewhere, you just might fall in love with Russian Dolls. Full of hair extensions, sex, arguing, gold chains, partying, drinking (vodka of course), and plenty of techno style music, these Russian Dolls are not the type to sit on a collectors shelf. Brighton Beach is home to the largest Russian American gathering place in New York. This community has plenty to show off including young beautiful women such as Anastasia, a 26 year old who has long blonde hair (with help from some hair extensions), deep tan, toned body, and ample make up. Her future hopes include college graduation but she's not trying very hard. The Levitis', Marina and Michael are owners of a popular local nightclub and Michael has somehow become involved with corruption that involves a state Senator. But don't let the gold chains, sex, and non stop partying keep you from watching Russian Dolls. After all the show's producers were out and about drumming up cast members by posting signs advertising for the next "Situation" or "Snooki" characters to step up and audition for the show. Just like other shows with similar formats, Russian Dolls are not afraid to showcase their intimate lives and all the sordid details viewers could ever ask for. Not exactly the prostitution game as the name implies, but plenty of steamy sex and exhibitionism.
Today the do-it-yourself home video market is extremely busy and popular. Almost anyone who has a cell phone or digital camera can shoot some video any time and anywhere. MTV brings the Funniest Home Video idea into homes with a bunch of amateurish videos that have gone internet viral and for one reason or another, have grabbed the attention of a wide audience. Some subject matter, like guys getting hit in their groin area, may be humorous to some but not so much to others. It's a matter of taste (or maybe lack of it) that gets home produced videos to earn watchability. The title of this show is more or less self explanatory and Rob Dyrdek's idea of fun and entertaining television is robbing entertaining clips from YouTube and presenting them on a network that used to mean something music wise, then turning them into juvenile jokes. Also seen are Chanel "West Coast" and Sterling Brim aka Steelo making comments about what is funny and what was better left on the internet to be lost in space. MTV"¦. let's get back to your roots and play music!
