The amount of existential crises he has caused is fantastic.

[kimkartrashianstopmakingst]

This and Impractical Jokers- the two best shows on here to watch while quarantined!!!

[ayden_james]

i love how he keeps asking if they're together it's the little things he inserts in conversations that really makes the trick work and confounds people

[calvinbrady]

Chad should've pretended he knew her and called her grandma.

[jumpieva]

michael is so good at stoking the confused fire

[highlandersom]

We need to see their reactions after they were told about the magic performance

[neoview]

Michael should have done his traditional "so, you REALLY don't know him?" wink, wink. And when she says NO!... "We're really "very confidential" here at the hotel"... the "code words" for having an affair...lol.

[the_jones]

He said he had to catch a flight and when he left the building he probably laughed his ass off.

[khulisaramatshimbila]

you could tell the other guy was trying so hard not to laugh..

[WonkaVator]

Right at around @1:38, it seems that the woman is suspicious of/blames the guy who had her ID... even though she also had his. It would have been just as reasonable for him to blame her.

She spent the night with him last night, naughty lady.

[writenamehere]

One of the most awesome pranks ever. amazingly surprised faces !

[USirs]

When you don't blurr the ID on YouTube

[michaelo]

The 80's called, and want that jacket back.

[NikhilMathew]

I like how he leaves for the mind f**kery to set it

[ds]

Omg I love this show so much that I crave it like its sugar or something. I also love Michael. 💗

[spasplash]

It’s like jokers except it’s one person that does magic

[PrymeMick]

he asked "were you in my room?" LOL

[cleanestmidwestemofan]

This is my favorite show I’m telling you

[LS-iyej]

Obviously, he switched cards, and then slipped her card and gave it to the guy in black (the accessory), who didn't show up until (0:57)
