I know that I am late to the party on this product but I used it today for the first time in two seperate performences .... In a word ... Oustanding!! Both performances were in parlour sitautions with a large crowd all around me. This device kills as I do the bill load right in front of them compltely stealth while the lemon remains sealed in its plastic store bag. Your DVD could not be more complete giving me ideas for every possible situation as I created my own routine inspired from your many tips. Close up, parlor, stage .. This is a blast to use to really work the audience. Scott & Bob, I can't thank you both enough. Packs small, plays huge and a total pleasure to perform with minimal and simple prep!

Thanks Dan,
I'll take this as a "phone a friend" Bill. That's the cool thing about TFA. You can use it in any situation. I did it in an impromptu setting for Trey Parker, the creator of South Park, and when it was over.... he gave me a $500.00 tip plus the $100.00 from the trick. He said that was the most amazing S% he had ever seen. That was pretty cool and it sounded exactly like Cartman. I use it in every performance. -Scott |

I have to concur, while I don't use the exact same routine Scott does, this gimmick has made my lemon routine the mainstay in my act for the last four years. On a number of occasions, I have been left the $100 bill as a tip because of how strong the impact was. |

I'm another proud performer of TFA. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of this wonderful method of loading the lemon. It's a real reputation maker!
I also use Cody Fisher's wonderful "Bet Your Bucks." I use the table method that Cody explains in the training. Since I do repeat bookings, and bill to lemon is something one just can't leave out of a performance, it's nice to be able switch things up a bit. Kudos to both Scott and Cody! MJ |

Has anyone flown with this prop? Will this get flagged by TSA?
Thanks, Dan. |

TFA is undoubtedly one of the finest cabaret "solutions" you will ever find! In my opinion, one of the most elegant, simple, and satisfying ways to amaze an audience ever! I first saw Scott peform this aboard the Holland America Ship "Westerdam" (I think). I get comments on this one all the time! Pure gold, Scott!
(I also have "Bet Your Bucks" as a standby for 2nd performances, but hey, no one ever gets TFA, I can use it over and over, so BYB has proved to be unnecessary - now I use it to switch out a wristwatch!) Potty |

I currently own "The Lemon Game" from Malloy. I thought this was an excellent routine. Is TFA worth purchasing/performing over TLG? Also, does anyone know if there is a performance video online of TFA? Thank you very much for any help?

Hocus Pocus
I think the item may not be made any more. It's been a while since I have seen one for sale. |

I don't have the Final Answer, although I have seen it and considered getting it. Does anyone worry that if it is no longer available that the gimmick, which eventually wears out, might also no longer be manufactured? Or have people found replacements available or figured out how to make them, etc.?

I have never seen The Final Answer, but I did a simple lemon trick many years ago and it shock the heck out of the spectator.
I do wish to see other versions of the lemon trick. |

For the time being TFA is no longer being produced, this item was very difficult to manufacture and it may not ever be coming back on the market but for that you would have to ask Bob Kohler himself. There is an element to TFA that may wear out but there are many methods covered both on the DVD and Inner Circle forum as to how to avoid this, its not an issue at all.
For now the only time to get TFA is to buy it used, which is what I did, check the for-sale section of the Café. If you can get your hands on this thing DO IT, I can't recommend TFA enough, the information on the DVD and forum is worth more than the asking price. |
