If you got a close enough look, you may have picked up the secret behind this. And if you didn’t, then no fear- we’ve uncovered the secret for you. You can see Ravens quickly closing the lemon up after he showed the note that was planted inside of the lemon.
This is likely because there was a hole in the lemon that Ravens didn’t want the audience to notice. Jamie did a good enough job distracting everyone that nobody noticed him slipping the note into the hole of the lemon. Nobody but us… meh heh.
Not Everyone Is Michael Jackson
Rest assured. Michael Jackson didn’t have any weird feature embedded in his body which allowed him to balance at a 45-degree angle. Actually, the king of pop needed a bit of help to pull off this notorious skill. So, all those nights you spent in your bedroom falling into your hardwood floor probably weren’t worth all those face bruises.
In order to pull off the move, Jackson actually wore special shoes which had triangular holes in the bottom. There were also nails jutting out of the ground to catch the holes. So, Jackson would get into position and the nails would catch into the holes of his shoes, allowing him to bend all the way forward. Pretty neat, huh? And if you’re interested in getting your hands on those shoes, you’ll be happy to know that you can purchase them online. Get your smooth criminal.
Note From A Lemon Trick
If you watched Britain’s Got Talent, circa de 2015, then you were probably one of the millions of viewers to be amazed by Jamie Ravens. Ravens performed many mind-blowing skills, but there is one which is the most famous of them all. This trick really left the judges and audience members with their mouths hanging to the floor.
Ravens asked one of the judges to sign a piece of paper. He then folded up the paper and out of nowhere, he made a lemon appear. When he sliced open the lemon, the judge’s signed note was tucked inside of it. How in the world did he manage to do this?
Puff of Smoke Trick
How cool would it be to make smoke appear out of nowhere? Every time somebody would irritate you, you could rub your fingers together and make smoke come out of nowhere so you wouldn’t have to look at them anymore. Well, if you’re a magician, then there’s a good chance you’ve mastered this skill and can make smoke appear by rubbing your fingers together.
And guess what, you don’t even need to have any wizardry in your blood! You just need to be a pro trickster. The point is to make it appear as though the smoke is coming from nowhere. But, the smoke actually has a source and fortunately for all of us muggles, it’s an easy trick to learn.
The Secret Behind The Puff of Smoke
Separate the side from the cardboard box, fold it in half and light it. Allow it to burn for a little and then put out the fire. Gather the white residue, which is white phosphorus. This is how you create a smoke effect. Rub some on your index finger and thumb and rub them together. There you go!
Your fingers are smoking. And remember what we said about washing off the residue when you’re done!
