Advice on bill in lemon

Postby damylim » Aug 25th, '06, 22:13



Hi, I am looking for a bill in lemon, but I have been unable to decide on which one to get... so many choices out there... Ultimately, I think I would like to get one with these features:

1. Uses a signed bill.
2. Lemon (or other fruit) is fully examinable before and after it is cut. (without any switches)
3. The bill is really convincingly inside the lemon.
4. Can be cut by the spectator. (if possible. This feature is optional, but of course I would prefer it if it can be done)


Can anyone recommend one that has all these features? Is this even possible without a special knife? And what do you think of those special knives? Are they any good? I already have one that uses the torn corner principle, but would really like the bill signed instead... Thanks, would really appreciate it.

Looking at the requirements, it might be that you're looking for something impossible or very expensive. I think Bill Malone does a pretty good version of bill to lemon, but I don't have his DVDs (On The Loose rings a bell). Perhaps someone else knows a bit more about it. Have you tried searching? The reviews archive here is very extensive.

You're going to have to decide which is more important to you as what you're looking for isn't available.

There is no way that you can do this without a lemon switch using a signed bill unless you use a knife which the spec can't handle and you'de still have to load the bill.

The knives are good - very sharp cost about £35ish (Mike Danata had one for sale not so long ago) but it may use the same principle as the one that you've got.

Thanks for all the advice. I meant that I already have a bill in lemon which uses the torn corner principle.

I was wondering if it is possible to load a lemon with a signed bill on the spot and then somehow glue the lemon back together so that the spectator can't tell that the lemon has been modified...? Have been pondering about it for quite awhile now, seems possible as I work behind a bar... but maybe I should just save the trouble and get the special knife... :lol:
