Michael Carbonaro's 'Lies On Stage' Books Rialto Show

JOLIET, IL — Magician and performance bizarrist Michael Carbonaro is bringing his “Carbonaro: Lies On Stage” to the Rialto Square Theatre at 7 p.m. Aug. 12.

Tickets for the Friday nigfht show go on sale this Friday, April 1. Ticket prices will be $56, $46 and $36. Additional fees may apply for online ticket purchases.

According to the Rialto marketing staff, the hit comedic series, “The Carbonaro Effect,” 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."
