The magician shows several lemons and permits the audience to freely select one of them. This lemon is then entrusted to a spectator “for safekeeping.” Next, the magician borrows a crisp new dollar bill, the serial number of which is written down on a card and given to the trusting individual who loaned the bill. Folding the dollar bill into as small a packet as possible, the magician causes it to vanish. Then, after showing his hands empty, he takes the previously selected lemon, cuts it in half, and removes the dollar bill from it. Upon checking the serial number of the recovered bill against the number written on the card, they are found to be the same. Includes the original box and instructions. Very good condition. First we have seen from this famous Chicago magic shop that operated out of the Palmer House Hotel.
