Banknote in Lemon by T.Nelson Downs

It is ALSO in 'Magic With Faucet Ross' pages 176 to 178

as simple as the Max Malini version

AND YET another !!!!

Looking for something else yesterday--I came across in an old JB Magic Catalogue

Banknote in Lemon by Yigal Mesika (The Loops man)

The note is signed--vanished then the magician takes out a velvet bag from inside his jacket.
In the bag--a lemon (or other fruit) of course and in that---wow--the signed note.

It was priced at £40 with bag and gimmick.

and no Sammy I do not have this one!!

ALSO it jogged my memory. There was a great routine-mainly for magicians' audiences but I have seen it performed, successfully, to lay audiences--
The signed note vanishes--A Potato is shown--chopped open--not note.THEN MY MEMORY falters..
Did he next produce, a lemon--no note-- another fruit--no note--and another and another till, finally the note was discovered. OR
was it like Walnut inside egg inside lemon??

AND AGAIN..wAYNE dOBSON-- The note was found in a large Onion.. Magician crying as he cuts deeper and deeper into it. Great comedy.
AND yet again-- was it a banknote Paul D had to search in 3 large JELLIES before he found it? Hilarious!

Between us we could write another book on the Note, Bill etc. In the??? lemon, potato, orange,jelly, onion, kiwi or whatever

Oh NO it has happened again.!!
Last night -- reading through 'My Best' edited by J.G.Thompson Jr., published in 1945 and reissued by D. Robins & Co. Inc.--I came across---- page 252--
Dollar Bill in Lemon by Gerald Kosky.

No gimmicks. Just 3 lemons--1 to be chosen the other 2 thrown out TO the audience.
The bill is torn in half!!!! Spectator has one half, the magician the other.
EVEN that long ago-1945--Kosky was recommending wrapping the half in cellophane.
This is burnt and should join up with the first half in the lender's clenched hand.
But no.
A bit of comedy then--
Guess where it ends up????

Very simple, uncluttered method

AND another to add to that list MANDRAKE, that you were going to compile!!

If not Mandrake you will be asked to perform The Talking Tie a1000 times. And it will make your arms ache!!
Do you remember how we got 'Tie-d' up with it years ago??
That was one of your gags!
