Maria was nervous. Really nervous. Although she had been to similar events in her life, this one promises to be kind of different.
The great and mysterious Roxanne, a famous female magician, had a magic show on this evening and Maria had paid a lot to get cards for the show.
Well, she got only one card and so she had to go alone to the show. Apart from the fact that no one of her friends liked magic tricks.
After hours of preparation Maria was finally ready to go out. The make-up was finally perfect and after a long process Maria decided to wear her long red dress, together with fitting red high-heels and a pretty purse.

A last time she looked into the mirror thought loudly: “Come on Maria, you are pretty and you look magical! Roxanne will sure talk to you!”
“Maria? Would you please come down?”, her boyfriend Mark shouted from downstairs.
“I’m coming!”, she shouted back and quickly went down.

Mark was already waiting at the car, because he was the one to bring her to the theatre.
Roxanne was sitting in her cabin in the theatre.
She was ready for the show, but still had to wait some time, because the show would start exactly at eight o’clock in the evening and not sooner.
She used the time to dive deep into a daydream. Roxanne was glad that only she could see them, because her daydreams were special.
*Knock, Knock*
Roxanne woke up from her dream and answered: “Yes?” “Roxanne? It is already five minutes before eight”
“Oh. I’m coming!” “Time to have some fun! Yihaaa!”, she thought.

Maria was sitting in the front row, awaiting the begin of the show. Suddenly the lights went out and the stage lights went on.
A voice started to talk: “Ladies and gentlemen! As you know we have a very special guest this evening. Please applaud for the great, the wonderful, the mysterious Roxanne!”
The crowd cheered out loud and a gorgeous shining woman in a short glittering outfit, which covered only the most private parts.
Her golden hair was flowing down her shoulders and a silver cape hung on her back.
She bowed to the audience.

“Welcome my friends! I am happy that so many of you came tonight. I promise you that you won’t regret it. Well, apart from some victims, who I’ll pick out of the audience of course.”, she said and everyone laughed.
“For the first few tricks, you don’t have to fear anything, because I’ll use up my assistants first. Please welcome my lovely assistant Fantasy!”
A young woman with brunette hair, average height and a slim body walked onto the stage. She had even less cloth on her body than Roxanne. It looked like a glittering swimsuit, which was open on the sides and with a hole on her belly. She was barefoot and her silver nailpolish fitted perfect to her clothing.
“This isn’t gonna be a new trick, but well I am sure you didn’t see it this way before! Enjoy it!”

A dramatic music started and suddenly a black box appeared on the stage from nowhere. Fantasy walked to the box and opened the front door.
Roxanne took off her high-heels, stepped inside and spread her arms and legs, so that her feet and hands were in the corners of the box.
Then Fantasy put a handcuff on Roxannes left ankle. On the side, where the right foot should be, was a chain instead, which was stuck through a hole in the left side of the box.
She did the same with her right ankle, and each of her wrists. Next she connected the chains, which were sticking out on the same side.
This means Roxannes left ankle was now connected to her left wrist and her right ankle to her right wrist.
To fix this Fantasy used two padlocks. At next Fantasy put a metal ring around Roxannes neck, which was also connected to a chain.
She threw this chain through a hole in the upper side of the box. Roxanne showed that she was really not able to move anymore and Fantasy closed the box.
At next two other assistants came onto the stage. Each of them had the same clothing as Fantasy.
This means the belly and side free swimsuit. One was an Asian woman, while the other one, was a black woman, both with black hair.
The only other difference was their nail polish. While the Asian had black nail polish on her toe and fingernails the black woman had white nail polish on her toe and fingernails.
The Asian went to the left side of the box and took the chain on this side, while the black woman took the chain on the right side and Fantasy took the chain, which was connected to Roxannes neck.

The stage light went red and the music changed as they began to pull on the chains.
Suddenly Roxannes feet and hands slowly appeared in the holes on the sides and a part of her head was visible at the hole on the top.
They pulled and pulled until the hands, feet and her head were completely visible. The stagelight went to normal and the people clapped.

Of course Maria clapped too and wished that she was the one in this box.
At first she thought about how this trick could work, but then she decided to think about it later and enjoy the show, because she hoped to be part of such tricks soon.
Her dream would finally come true, now that she could finally meet Roxanne, who was now more stretched than a human should be.
The stagelights got dark again and again the music changed to a slow and dark theme.
The three assistants went backstage for a few seconds and came back, wearing red cloaks, masks, boots and gloves.

“Well, as an assistant you clearly have to be fast, when it comes to changing clothes.” Maria thought. “But, I am sure I can learn this too!”
One of them, it was now impossible to tell who is who, because all of them were nearly equal in size, had a small ladder.
She put it near the box and climbed onto the top. She pushed Roxannes head back into the box, followed by pulling on the chain again.
Suddenly instead of Roxannes head, Fantasys head appeared. She blinked her right eye and some people laughed.
At next the woman on the left side pulled Roxannes bare foot and hand back into the box.
As she pulled on the chain again the hand of the black woman appeared, while the foot was clearly the one of the Asian girl.
When the one on the right side of the box pushed the foot and hand back into the box and pulled on the chain the right hand of the Asian women and the right foot of the black woman appeared.
To show that these five body parts are now connected, the person on the left side and the person on the right side started to tickle the feet, which were sticking out of the box and Fantasys head laughed exactly, if it were her feet! She went nearly crazy as they didn’t stop.

“STOP”, she shouted and this was the commando to change the stage lights into six different colours and the music was now a funny theme.
“I am not sure if I am satisfied with this arrangement. Time to mix things up a bit, ladies!”
“Somehow this remembers me of a rubik’s cube. The six colours, and five parts, which are definitely on the wrong place. This trick has to be inspired by this damn cube”, Maria thought, as the left and the right person pushed the two bare feet back into the cube at the same time.
Of course they pulled on the chain again and the foot with the white polish appeared on the left side, while the foot with the black polish appeared on the right side.
This means the foot and hand on the left side now, belonged both two the black woman, while the hand and foot on the right side belonged both to the Asian woman.
“Now all in!”, Fantasys head shouted and the two woman on the left and on the right side pushed all hand and feet back into the box at the same time and when they pulled simultaneous on the chain the hands and feet of the Asian woman appeared.
“Well. Nearly.” The person on the top now pushed Fantasys head back into the cube, pulled again and the head of the Asian woman appeared.
“Hi guys, she said!” The funny music stopped and the stage lights got simply white again.

All people in cloaks removed their hoods. It appeared the woman on the top was Roxanne, the woman on the left side was now Fantasy and the woman on the right side was now the black woman. The people clapped and cheered like crazy.

“Come on guys, a big applause to my other assistants! Dreamy on the right side and Majikku beneath me!” The people did what she said and gave them a big applause.
“Now that Majikku is already inside the box, let’s use this opportunity. Let us see, what she can take! Ready Maji?”
“Of course! I am waiting for it!”, Majikku said and smiled like the sun at sunrise.  
“It seems not only I would like to be sawn in half, or such things. Majikku, I like you!”, Maria throught.

“Girls bring me my tools!” The stage light went out, because when Fantasy and Dreamy appeared from behind the stage again they were carrying torches, or at least things, which looked like torches.
Maria realised that this were burning spears! They threw them up to Roxanne, who stuck them both straight inside box, so that they must have gone straight through Majikku.
Then Roxanne jumped from the box, gripped other spears and stuck them right inside the front of the box at the height of Majikkus torso.
At next she stuck some into the sides of the box, just so that they must hit Majikkus body, but don’t touch another spear. After a few minutes, thirty spears stuck inside box and because Majikkus was still not able to move because of the chains there was no escape for her.
But she didn’t even seem to want to escape! Instead she smiled and giggled always, when a new spear was stuck inside the box.

When there were no more spears the assistants carried a few big steel plates from behind.
Now Maria realised that the positions of the spears weren’t chaotic!
As the assistants held one of the plates upright to show it to the audience Maria saw that it had small gaps on some positions.
Roxanne meanwhile showed the people that the edge of the plate was really sharp by moving an apple slightly across the edge and it was cut in half quickly! Then they turned it, so that the sharp edge was facing the front side of the box just at the high, where the lowest spear was and Roxanne pressed against the other side.
So they stuck the complete plate into the box and separated in this way the lowest parts of the box.
So they split the big black box into many horizontal parts. Then Roxanne jumped onto the box again and Maria thought: “Damn, she can jump really high!”
The assistant gave her more plates and she put them somehow into the top of the box.
At least the box was separated in many cubes, while Majikku was still in there!
She didn’t seem to feel any pain and so the two other assistants showed that her body parts were still somehow connected to her by tickling her bare soles and Majikku waved with her hands and wiggled her toes and scrunched her soles, even when they had already stopped to tickle her. And really Majikku laughed!

Suddenly Roxanne removed the padlocks and took the cube in the upper right corner and threw it to Dreamy, while she took the cube in the upper left corner and threw it to Fantasy.
As you remember Majikkus hands were sticking out of these boxes. The two assistants placed them onto the floor, while Roxanne threw the two cubes, which were left and right to the cube, out of which Majikkus head was sticking to the assistants, who carried them backstage.
She also threw the box with Majikkus head down, which was after that also put on the floor. Part after part was carried backstage until only the boxes, out of which Majikkus body parts were sticking, were left.
Majikku still scrunched her soles, wiggled her toes and moved her hands. She did this the whole time, to show that she has still control over her body parts, although they are lying in separate boxes beside her head.
Finally Roxanne turned the boxes with Majikkus feet so that her bare soles were touching the wooden floor of the stage and put the boxes with her hands on these two boxes.
At last she put the box with Majikkus head on the other four boxes.
Majikkus feet started walking and so the five boxes walked around the stage for a short time until “it” walked behind the stage. Maria was stunned. She couldn’t explain how this could be possible. Now she was sure that she simply HAD to meet Roxanne, because she now knew that it would change her entire life.
