  • Sinbad's Shazaam - Mandela Effect Wiki — Sinbad's Shazaam is one of the most popular examples of the Mandela Effect. It has got many people debating the existence of a movie that others claim (even the actor himself) never existed. There has been many 'explanations' to why people seem to remember the American stand-up comedian starring as a genie in a 1990s film going by the name 'Shazaam'.
