The “thing” had walked back behind the stage and Roxanne continued with her show.
“While my lovely assistants clear the stage, I’ll perform a little trick.”
Dreamy handed her a bucket out of transparent plastic.
“How much water can be filled into this bucket?”, she asked.  
“Ten!”, one shouted. “Fifteen”, said another. Maria shouted “Twenty”, hoping that she would be allowed to go on stage”.
“Twenty? Anyone more than twenty?” Nobody said more.
“Ok. You, who said twenty, please come onto stage.”
Maria was so happy, she finally was allowed to enter the stage and stand beside Roxanne.

Quickly Maria got up and climbed on the stage.
“Hi. How is your name?”
“I’m Maria.”
“Glad to meet you Maria. Now examine the bucket again. Do you still think that there can be twenty liters in it?”
Maria looked at the bucket from the front and from the side and nodded. Dreamy brought a big measuring cap filled with water.
“How much water is in this cup, Maria?”
Maria looked at the cup and saw that the water was at the two  litre mark.
“According to you ten of these cups full of water can be poured into the  bucket.
Roxanne poured the first cup full of water into the bucket.
“My two lovely assistants will now bring more of these cups. Would you please help me pouring them in?”
“Sure”
“Oh, and I want you to count loudly!”, she said to the audience.
The quick music started and Dreamy and Fantasy brought cup after cup, while Roxanne and Maria poured them into the bucket.
“Eight. Nine. Ten.”, the people counted, but the assistants didn’t stop to bring cups from behind.
“Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen!”
The bucket seemed full, but more and more water was put in and no drop ran out of the bucket.
Finally at the twentieth cup, the water overflew the bucket.
“Well, it seems that we now have forty litres in the bucket.”, Roxanne stated and Fantasy brought a new bucket.
“I’ll give you another chance. What do you think, Maria? How much water can this bucket contain?”
Maria thought what was coming now and said: “I think, exactly one cup! This means two litres!”
“Ok. We’ll see. Fantasy brought one cup. Roxanne let Maria examine if there really two litres in the cup and poured the water into the bucket. Although it seemed as big as the first bucket the water level was suddenly equal to the height of the bucket. “Congratulations!”, Roxanne said: “It was two litres!  Applause for Maria! Maybe we’ll see her later again.”, Roxanne told the people smiling at Maria.
As Maria sat down on her place again her heart was racing. She was on the stage and maybe she would be there again!

Her excitement was so high that it could not be measured anymore. “Now, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll show you why these buckets can be really useful and show you how we magicians keep travelling when we are broke!”
The people laughed while Dreamy appeared on the stage with more buckets of different size sticking in each other.
Again she had new clothes on. She was now wearing a simple silver shining bikini top to cover her breasts, bikini bottoms to cover her other private parts and was now barefoot again.
The light became darker again and bright light impulses were sent to the stage to make everything more dramatically. At first Dreamy walked to the first bucket from before and bent her body so that she could sit in the bucket.
This means at first she sat on the rim of the bucket. Ten she threw her legs into the air and folded them together to place them inside the bucket.
She was now sitting perfectly in the bucket, but her upper half still was outside, so she waved a last time before sticking her arms beside her body into the bucket and put her head between her knees.
At next Roxanne put the second bucket from beside upside down onto the bucket, which was filled with Dreamy.
Both buckets had four holes near the edge. Through this holes Roxanne put four padlocks to connect the two buckets.
After she made sure that they were totally fixed she took them and turned them over.
This means Dreamy’s body was now upside down in the second bucket, but as you remember it had only space for two litres!
Roxanne removed the cape from her back and put if over the two buckets. When she removed it again the first bucket had vanished, and the second bucket, which was now smaller, still contained Dreamy.
Roxanne took the next bucket and fixed it on the second bucket from before as she did it the first time. Again she turned them over and Dreamies body slipped to the other side.
After putting the cape over the buckets again the second bucket was again vanished and the third bucket was again smaller than before.
Roxanne did this again four times. At last the remaining bucket was only as big as a thimble, but at least Dreamies body was in the right direction again.
Well, Dreamies compressed body. It must be really tight inside this thing. The light went bright again and Roxanne held the tiny bucket into the air!

“This really minimises the transport costs for us, believe me!”, Roxanne said and the crowd laughed their asses off.
She jumped down the stage and went to the next person she saw, who was an ordinary guy sitting beside Maria.
“Mister, would you agree that this Dreamy inside there? Just take a close look.”
Because of the fact that Maria was sitting next to him, she saw the contours of Dreamies body pressed against the bucket walls.
The man agreed and Roxanne bowed to the audience, who clapped so intense that the whole theatre was shaking.
