Fruit Tricks

I saw someone peel an orange like this once, it was amazing. Of course I embellished it as I have done with the muscat trick (still pretty neat). I love the way fruit is handled, of course I imagine that everything that is done by Van Dean would have some poetic dance to it, these parlor tricks are no exception. Of course it also gives Kamen a strange first(ish) impression of what he's got to deal with.

The whole thing with cutting grapes was another idea, I've never seen this done (it would be impossible). The whole reasoning for muscats is how well they pair with darjeeling (the tea is often likened to a muscat), of course the variety of grape is absolutely delicious. You cannot compare it to the slosh they sell at the regular markets.
