Michael: We're here at AT&T today.
This is what the people are gonna see today when
they wear these lenses.
Wow.
It's like you can totally see an augmented reality.
That is insane. It's probably better than my trick.
♪♪
You ever been in this store before?
Surprisingly, yes, I actually have.
Yeah, like, a car and everything virtual reality.
Yeah, we were just right over there.
Oh, yeah, they had virtual reality last time over here.
-Yeah. That was me. Yeah.
I'm demo'ing the augmented reality.
I don't even know what that means.
Oh, well, virtual is like you're completely blinded,
in another world.
Yeah.
But this technology kind of messes
with the rods and cones in your eyes.
'Cause the digital world sees things in pixels.
-But our eyes see things
-Right.
you're looking through a lens
that allows your cones to behave like pixels.
There we go.
Let's see. Try that on.
There we go.
All right, yeah, and it sits right...
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, it's the Statue of Liberty.
Here, can you lift it up and take it off for a second?
let your eyes adjust,
and I'm gonna reflect some light right here, okay?
just in that spot.
Now, put the lenses on.
-Whoa. -You see that?
What do you see?
It's almost like Legos.
-Oh, did it pixelate? -Yeah.
-Yeah. -Yeah. It's pixelated?
♪♪
Were you wearing that tie before?
What happens when you do that is
you kind of program your eyes to see digital.
-Why? What's weird?
I didn't think you were wearing that before.
-Yeah.
Just stay there.
I just want to make sure your eyes reset in this spot.
Gonna reset that.
Oh, come on.
That was not like that before.
-Are you seeing it pixelated? -Yeah.
-Take them off.
Take the goggles off. Take them off.
Okay, take them off for a second.
-Close your eyes and open them.
Close your eyes and open them. Try to reset.
I'm gonna give you these instructions, okay?
for a minute.
-Take it. What?
I can't even see that.
Here. You want to stare closely at a blank spot on the wall.
Just follow those directions. It's a temporary thing.
That one's pixelated, too.
Nothing to worry about. We'll figure this out.
I'm just gonna get a little mist to spritz in your eyes, okay?
-And you'll be fine. -Okay.
Just one second.
Wait, for real?
Aw, man, I think I'm blind.
♪♪
[Bleep]
Come on.
♪♪
They said everything's fine. It's gonna take 45 minutes.
-That's -- Okay. -Is anything clear?
Oh.
Any clearer at all? Is it starting to clear up?
Yeah. Your cup went back to normal.
Okay, good. That's a good sign.
Okay, the directions -- Do you see them?
-I can read it. -Can you read that paper now?
-"Pixelated vision issues." -You can see it now?
-Yeah. -Great.
Yeah.
we just want to make sure
the Carbonaro Effect.
You know, your vision doesn't have a major impact
from the Carbonaro Effect.
The Carb-- Right. That thing. Got it.
The Carbonaro Effect -- Have you ever heard of that?
-Oh, it's an eye issue.
-Okay. -It's also the name
of a hidden-camera, magic TV show...
-Oh. -...that you're on right now.
-No. You're kidding? -No, I'm not.
[ Laughs ] What?
My name's Michael Carbonaro. What's your name?
I'm Chitty, like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Hey, Chitty.
Yeah. Hey.
right now.
right over here...
Okay. Hey. Oh, man.
-I'm a magician. -Oh, man. That was so --
That's so crazy.
I was like,
"No, I'm blind, this is it." I'm like, "This is it for me."
-Are you okay now? -Yeah. No, I'm fine now.
Did I bring a little magic into your day?
[ Laughs ]
-Chitty, you're awesome.
That's crazy.
