The Carbonaro Effect is an American hidden-camera TV series that features magician and comedian Michael Carbonaro performing various magic tricks on unsuspecting people in public places. In season 6 episode 2, titled "Kind of Like a Seafoam Green," Michael continues to amaze and bamboozle people with his mind-blowing magic and illusions.

The episode begins with Michael posing as a golf caddy who has an unusual approach to improving his clients' golf game. He uses a miraculous golf club that seems to have a mind of its own and helps his clients hit perfect shots every time. However, the catch is that the club is actually a cleverly disguised fishing rod that Michael manipulates behind the scenes to make it seem like the club is hitting the ball. The reactions of the golfers are hilarious as they try to decipher what is actually happening.

Next, Michael takes on the role of a cashier at a liquor store who has the ability to transform objects by simply scanning them at the register. He magically turns a bottle of cheap liquor into a high-quality vintage bottle, much to the surprise and delight of the customer who is buying it. But when Michael tries to replicate the trick with a can of beer, things go awry and the customer is left scratching his head in confusion.

The third segment of the episode features Michael as a salesperson at a jewelry store who convinces a customer to try on a beautiful diamond necklace. However, when the customer puts on the necklace, she realizes that it is not a necklace at all but is, in fact, a live creature attached to her neck. The customer's reaction is priceless as Michael plays it off as if it is just a harmless accessory.

In the next segment, Michael assumes the role of a florist who has a unique way of making flowers bloom instantly. He cuts off the stems of some wilted flowers, puts them in a vase, and then covers them with a tablecloth. When he reveals the flowers again, they have magically come back to life, much to the amazement of the customers. But Michael's real trick is that he has actually replaced the wilted flowers with fresh ones while keeping the old stems in the vase.

In the final segment of the episode, Michael dresses up as a salesman at a skincare store and tries to convince a customer to try out a new product made from an exotic seafoam green plant. According to Michael, the product has amazing anti-aging properties and can make the user look years younger. However, when the customer tries it out, she realizes that the product is not what it seems and ends up getting slimed with green goo. Michael's clever use of misdirection and humor make this one of the funniest segments of the episode.
