I was in the grocery store yesterday getting the real fruit to use in the photo session for the Gazzo pouch, when suddenly I was struck by an idea that will make your fake fruit really convincing.
The next time you buy fruit for your cups and balls routine, save the little stickers that go on the oranges and the melon, if they use these stickers in your area. Put them on the fake fruit.

Bill, you are full of great ideas. This is a very nice little touch to the illusion.

I've been doing that for a few years now. The stickers come loose over time and wear, and move around, so I put a thin coating of nail polish over the stickers and sort of laminate them to the fake fruit. They last longer that way. Also you can put a drop of citrus air freshener on oranges and lemons to give them that citrus smell. Just rubbing a tiny bit is enough.

Great minds think alike!
I knew I couldn't have been the very first to think of this!

Joe Howard, I've seen your fruit and for a while thought they were real, but I noticed how they were always perfect and realized they were fake and what a good idea that was! Good call

That's a great idea! I was watching the Gazzo Cups and Balls DVD and noticed that he had the stickers on the oranges. And thought to myself, "Those must be real."
You just blew my mind! Josh London |

No detail is too small. It's like matching the dates on your coins with those on the jumbo coins. One day, someone will notice... I know, because it happened to me. Fortunately, I got commended instead of busted.
Good thinking, Bill. ~michael

Gazzo uses real fruit . I use real fruit. I love the weight . Dropping the melon on the table at the end with a real big thud. Sorry folks but fake fruit does not work for me on the street. People come up and drop money in your hat. The ladys squeeze the fruit and smile. They want me and I want them, it's a perfect end to a days busking. Fake bloody fruit .She would feel it and the game would be up .She give you that "I bet your wands fake too" look.
And then there's allways the vitamin C if you don't get a shag. Fake fruit why bother. go to town ,buy fruit, work, shag and finally fresh (ish) orange juice for breakfast after the dog has left. wher'e's my biscuits Melcome. More to the poiny where is the sodding question mark on a Mac. |

There is no question mark on a Mac. Mac owners know everything, so they don't ask questions.

I am almost blind and do not hit the right keys. It is not true mac owners know everything. Usually they are arty and not capable of rational thought. The tend towards religion and alternative medicine. I'm scientific and an athiest but have a mac because you can run an online biz without a firewall or virus program. I started on a pc and got wiped out. They do look nice macs are like top end cups.
Now i;m must confess to thinking about a fake melon as they really are a pain to carry. Incidently when I started my final load was half a pint of fresh orange juice. I thought it was a great and impossible load from the audiences point of view. They prefered the melon -Why(question mark) |

The question mark on a Mac should be right next to the period. However, since you are in New Zealand, it may be on the PC that your next door neighbor has.
