You guys are really over-complicating this whole thing.

There's lots of references in books on how to perform this totally impromptu, with signed cards and billets.

Advice is, put your glue etc. away and read a bit, especially classic texts.

I think Derek Dingle has a Card In Lemon in print somewhere. Also check out Doc Eason's and Bill Malone's tapes for some good signed Bill In Lemon techniques.

OK as long as I get to select the feather duster!

Dont need glue, as Siege said, just have a look at some books, or buy a specific trick from one of the many web sites (I seen card in Kiwi somewhere)

Is it me. or does this feel like a phising post - looking for how to do card in lemon trick???

Heres what you need to do -

get a lemon pip and a playing card, plant them both in the ground, water it everyday and pretty soon you should have a lemon tree with cards inside :lol:

Do I have to stick my thumb over the hole whilst the lemon tree is growing as I dont think I really have that much time on my hands?
