Illusionist and TV personality Michael Carbonaro is bringing his Lies on Stage tour to Erie this week for two performances at Kellar’s Modern Magic and Comedy Club.

Best known for his hit truTV series The Carbonaro Effect, Carbonaro combines sleight of hand with sharp comedy and surprise interactions that leave audiences both amazed and entertained.

Erie News Now’s Gannon Zahn caught up with Carbonaro to find out what fans can expect, and it’s more than just magic.

“Expect the unexpected,” Carbonaro said. “There’s magic, of course, but also storytelling, a lot of laughs, and some genuine moments that remind us how fun it is to be fooled.”

He added that Kellar’s intimate setting is the perfect stage for the kind of close-up illusions and spontaneous comedy that have become his trademark.

Both shows are expected to sell out quickly as local audiences get the chance to experience Carbonaro’s unique blend of illusion and humor live.
