He has a famous sibling (one brother) and graduated from Connetquot High School in Bohemia, New York. Michael Carbonaro went on to study Theater Studies at the Tisch School of Arts, NYU. Before he was accepted to study acting at NYU, he had already started performing at magic shows, off-Broadway shows and corporate events in New York, and paid for the college from the proceeds he received for performing his magic tricks.

Michael Carbonaro got going when he made the courageous decision to leave New York, as well as the gigs he got there for the City of Angels (Los Angeles) to enter the sphere of Hollywood. In retrospect, this was the best thing that happened to him, because if he hadn’t taken this step, he might not have met Eugene Burger and Jay Leno, who had a strong influence on his career as a magician and actor.
