To get the lemon in the orange there is a slit on the bottom. To "hatch the chick", when his hand is out of frame he get the chick either from his picket or from a secret compartment inside the arm of his jacket, then he hides it in his palm(if you look you can see he has something in his hand when he smashes the egg), and since the egg is empty, there is no mess.

Very obvious stooges, often the whole crowd seems to be in on it. To me he's not a magician, but an entertainer. A trick isn't a trick if you can't pull it off in person with a stranger. Otherwise it's just special effects, entertainment.... like Star Wars. We know there's no such thing as flipping Jedis and light sabers, but with skillful editing, there they are. And it IS entertaining. But never do we think, "how the hell is that done?". There's one "illusion" where he stands on a table with a sheet in front, it drops, and OMG he's gone. Except that all he did was drop down behind the table, which has a mirror in front reflecting the concrete. The damn thing is shaking visible during the trick. It should have been shot and reshot until the it looked perfect, since the final edit seems to be 80% of the show usually. Also in that trick, you can see ACTUAL, non-stooge public in the far background, and they're clearly looking where he landed and being very amused by it. If I could read minds I'd bet they were thinking "what a boob". Angel might be able to do SOME tricks, but a whole lot of what I’ve seen on TV is awful.
