Most of the torn corner and serial number gambits out there will fall flat compared to a signed bill, but most DOES NOT MEAN EVERY! The problem with the guys arguing in favor of the statement that the bill MUST be signed is that they are COMPLETELY ignorant of Scott Guinn's handling.
Mind you this is coming from a guy who prefers using a signed bill, albeit for reasons which have nothing to do with it's impact on the layman, but I still say Scott Guinn's routine is cleaner and more impossible than any routine out there and it still destroys a lay audience. Anybody who wants to add a Bill in Lemon routine to their repertoire should do themselves and the art a favor by researching every routine already in print not just to find the best method but to create an original and baffling routine and In my opinion Scott's is one of the strongest handlings in this plot line you will ever find. For a lousy ten dollars even if you don't use his method there will be something in Scott's routine that you WILL learn from. The bill is not lost in an envelope, it is cleanly and openly burned in a pan. A spectator can read the serial number off the bill as it is engulfed by flames, a lemon is introduced which the performer has NEVER touched it is cut open and a bill is removed which matches perfectly to the bill the spectator saw burn to a crisp right before his eyes, clean fair and absolutely impossible. There are very few torn corn or serial number routines out there worth doing, Scott's is the exception. |

Permit me to add a vote FOR Scott's routine and concept. While a signed bill may provide a bit more intrigue, it is really just overproving when compared to the ultra-clean routine possibilities Scott offers. He has solved a major issue with the routine, which leaves the specs at "Whit's End" - on the horns of a dilemma...

Thanks Jim! That's exactly what my goal was with my routine.

IF you like the bill in lemon, Nourdine ( a french restaurant magician!) sell a good way to do it!! it's call CITRUS, this is a sign bill to lemon, where the laymen cut and take the bill from the lemon!!
The lemon could seat on the table during the show!! There is no change of the bill. It's very easy to do. |

On a cruise I personally saw McComb do a signed bill to wallet. It was more or less the Seabrook bank night effect.

markmiller Special user 731 Posts |
Right, he didn't do the lemon, years ago I was on a cruise with my folks and McComb, who was extremely friendly, was the magician. I didn't say he did the lemon, only that he used a signed bill for identification purposes. You are right, what I called a bank night effect was Seabrook's burned bill in wallet.

I should add, he did two complete shows and both were great as you'd expect.

Another vote for Scott Guinn's version. Very simply and has huge impact.
