Super Lemon is the brainchild of Alex Ng, who has been delighting audiences with this routine for over nine years. Drawing inspiration from Florian Severin's book ("What Lies Inside" published by Vanishing Inc.), Super Lemon is a real head-spinner that your spectators won’t forget in a hurry.
It all kicks off when you casually ask a spectator to name any fruit. No matter what they say, you whip out a lemon and perform a trick that’s sure to get everyone involved in a little imaginative fun.
Throughout the act, your audience is convinced they’re witnessing a lemon and a knife. But as the magic unfolds, you’ll turn that knife into a fork and the lemon into a yellow paper ball, leaving everyone scratching their heads, wondering how on earth that happened.
And just when they think it can’t get any more bizarre, you open the paper ball to reveal the SPECTATOR'S RANDOMLY-NAMED FRUIT inside. Talk about a jaw-dropper for a mentalism opener!
"Of all the items in my book, the "Imagination is a lemon" is my favourite opening effect. Alas, many readers of "What Lies Inside" were scared of the involved switch. Now with Alex Ng's version, these fears belong to the past! The first time I watched Alex perform his version, I didn't even see his switch! So, get "Super Lemon", and get rid of your fears! I created many different and highly complicated versions for the knife that turns into a fork. But none was as simple, direct and efficient as the "Super Lemon"'s gimmick. Man, I wish I would have had come up with this idea! The gimmick does not only feature the most straight forward method, it is also flawlessly fabricated. A stunning beauty! It is a joy to toy around with. I instantly imagine many other routines that use this gimmick. But Alex and Henry did not only improve the underlying switches and perfected the gimmick: Alex also added a whole new twist at the end of the routine, adding an extra miracle kicker that pushes the entire performance another step forward. And, of course, they also give you everything you need for this special ending. If you want a reliable opener for your show that instantly classifies you as a master of minds, stop searching. You have found it. If I wouldn't already be performing this effect, now I would. Shhh-shhh, please, don't tell anyone, but I am not using my method anymore, but Alex's Super Lemon."
