“But thats physically impossible!”
“Yeah, isnt it crazy? Mine was a salamander”
“But...”
“Yeah!”

[hat-desu]

I love that he didn't even bother trying to pseudoscience her out of it in this one, it's too ridiculous to say anything but "yea."

[dc-nmjo]

Customer: This is hard and that was flat
Michael: Yeah

[roblesgilberto]

Her face went from "This guy... To WFT!?!"

[greyfoxninja]

1:08 Fish looked at the Camera, It was an actor, 100% Fake

[Lozosan]

I love how some of these people aren't interested in talking to him until the he hooks him with the illusion

[franktuttle]

The uncontrollable bewildered facial expression as a result of the eyes delivering visual information that is contrary to everything her brain knows about reality.

[serSafir]

0:58 her reaction is absolutely priceless.

[sergiofuentes]

The fish bowl isn't the only thing popping out. Her eyes almost came out of their sockets

[parkerbirch]

God I love this show!! This lady is one of my favs too. Did you see the look on her face? Priceless! Thanks Michael.

[adisatrio]

THE WAY HE TALK LIKE IT'S NORMAL IS DRIVING THOSE PEOPLE NUTZ

[sanrasuzumaki]

0:59 that is the most surprised face I've ever seen, she even shakes a little from the horror of getting that little bowl fish out of the book. Brilliant!

[radicalrick]

Her expression was priceless! I had to watch that part over and over!

[jasonjuneau]

"Mine was a salamander" lmao

[snois]

"It just pops up" as he is fascinated by the paper part of it lmao

[FrankBatistaElJibaro]

The best part of it all is the "YEAH'.
The one thing everyone wants is an explanation or even a frickin' clue, but all you're going to get is a repeated 'yeah'.

[edenlevi]

Michael be like.. yeah.. yeah.. yeah.. yeah..

[kyolym]

Whats even more hystrical is that she does not even mention that there is water in the bowl lmao

[michaelwallace]

I think she's a news anchor too lol, just imagine her the next day on the morning news, "go buy your kids these amazing pop up books" XD

[virg_lemnade]

I honestly love the ones where instead of trying to fake-explain it, Michael decides to play it like a guy who ALSO doesn't know how the magic thing works lol
