The next week after signing the contract Maria started to work for Roxanne, but before she could appear at one of the shows, Roxane must show her how things work, of course.
The magician and her team had a small tour bus and a small van for the equipment, because they were travelling from one big city to the other to perform their shows.

Maria, who was wearing a pink tank-top, jeans and was still barefoot since they last met, followed Roxanne, who was wearing a pink blouse, a red skirt and had also no footwear except a necklace around her ankle and a toe ring, till they arrived at the van and Roxanne told her: “For today I will test a new trick on you. If it appears to be good, we will perform it in the next shows and you’ll be the assistant for it, ok?”
“Yippie. My first day and I am already part of a magic trick. Of course, I agree!”
“Ok. Then help me carry these boxes.”
They took some black boxes from the van and went inside a near building.
“I hired a room here, to train for the tricks.”
On the second floor down the doorway, was a door, which was unlocked by Roxanne. The room behind had only a wooden floor, two windows and a mirror-wall.
Roxanne and Maria put down the boxes and Roxanne started taking a few things from them.
“My first lesson contains three important things at the same time, which you should never forget, when you work for me!”
“Oh, ok. Tell me.”
“Rule number one: You always have to trust the magician, or the tricks won’t work.”
“Sure, whats the next thing?”
“Rule number two: Never ask me how a certain trick works. I only tell you what you must know. Maybe later I’ll explain you some things, but for now, just do what I tell you.”
“As long I get sawn in half regularly, everything is allright.”, Maria joked.
“And finally rule number three. Have fun!”
“What?”
“I don’t want to be a strict and unfair boss. I have the ability to use magic and why shouldn’t we use the opportunity to have fun! You can ask the other assistants and they’ll tell you that we always have much fun together.”
“Wow, cool. This job appears to be even better than I expected!” Roxanne laughed.

“Ok, now let’s start with rule one. Close your eyes. If you really trust me, you won’t open them till I tell you, ok?”
“Understood.”
Maria closed her eyes and Roxanne took a handful of knives out of one box. Without warning she stabbed eight knives into Marias torso.
“Haha. You tickle me!”
At next she took a katana and stabbed it right through Marias heart. It went through her body as if it was out of butter.
“Open your eyes.”
Maria did and when she looked down she was stunned.
“How I am supposed to live? In all the magic shows you never see if the girl is really hit inside the box by the knives, but I can’t deny that they are inside my body right NOW!”
“You did well by not opening your eyes. Remember rule two. I don’t tell you how it works. You can take the things out of your body by yourself. Please do it right now, while I go to the van and bring something.”

While Roxanne was away Maria tried to pull the knives out and to feel, if there are any signs of the knives, when they are pulled out of the body, there weren’t any. Only her clothes had holes.
Suddenly Maria thought: “What if the knives are made not to hurt anyone! Hm, what will happen if I… ouch!”
She had tried the sharpness of the knive on her finger, but had to recognise that they could hurt someones body. A few minutes later Roxanne was back with a huge wooden box.
“Help me putting this thing up.”
When they were ready they had built a strange construction.
“Okay. I will now set up a camera, which will film the complete trick, so that we can watch it after and discuss, which could be made better. Oh, and you won’t see anything before, because you have to put this on."
It was a piece of red cloth.
“But before, please change clothes. I sewed them by myself in the last days. I hope it fits you.”
It was the typical cloth, which all her assistants wore. This means a glittering swimsuit like piece, which coveres only their breasts and their intimate parts.
“Um, where?”
“Hahaha. Nowhere, just stand still and close your eyes.”
“Ok.”
Roxanne took her cape, covered Maria with it and when she pulled it away Maria had her new clothes on.
“Ok. Now I have to ask you another question. What do you think about bondage?”
“You really ask strange questions. Neitherless, I have to be honest. I always wanted to try it, but my boyfriend was against it.”
“Oh, my. Then it is good that you can test it today, because I will bind you together now. Would you please kneel down?”
“I think I shouldn’t be surprised about anything, when working with a magician, right?”
“Exactly!”
Maria kneeled down and Roxanne took another strange looking thing. Each of ten iron rings was connected to a chain. These ten chains then were connected to one big iron ring.
Roxanne put each of the ten little rings to one of Marias toes.
“Just tell me if anything hurts too much, ok?”
“Ok.”
At next Roxanne put the big iron ring around Marias neck and locked it with a padlock.
Then she connected Marias hands behind her back with ordinary handcuffs and her ankles with footcuffs.
“Now, you have to trust me again. Because I will now make the chains connecting your toes and your head shorter.”
“If I could nod, I would.” Maria agreed.
The effect of that was that at last Marias body was so much bent that her dirty bare soles touched the back of her head. This means it looked if she was folded together in the middle of her body.
“Impressing. I didn’t have to use much magic to bend you this way. What do you do to be such flexible?”
“Oh, nothing special. I am flexible since birth, and in addition I do Yoga regularly.”
“Well, it is still impressing. I think there is more potential for later tricks together with Majikku. She is even more flexible than you. Together we can make a human knot out of you two!”
“Hehe. I am looking forward to it.”
“Ok. I will now tape your mouth. When you want to tell me something just think it, because I will now read your thoughts, which you allow me, ok?”
“Can you read any secrets too?”
“I could, if I'd want to, but if that would be the matter, I would have done it already, so it doesn’t matter, right?”
“Seems legit. Shut my mouth! Hehe. By the way, I have to tell my boyfriend that we have to do this bondage things. I am feeling good although I can’t move a bit.”
“I better not recommend doing the same like this, because I am already using magic on you. If I wouldn’t it would be dangerous for you. Always remember that without magic many things are more dangerous.”

Roxanne took duct tape and put it over Marias mouth. At next she took a heavy chain and managed to wrap it around the whole construct, called Maria.
This means it went below her belly and around her legs behind her back. So Roxanne now narrowed the gap between Marias legs and her back, by pulling straight on the chain and securing it with another padlock.
Maria now was bound to a compact bundle.
“Time to shut the lights.”,said Roxanne as she wrapped the piece of red cloth around Marias eyes.
Because Marias was now such compact Roxanne could lift her up and put her inside of one of the black boxes, which contained the bondage material.

At next she put the complete box inside the construcktion. Four steel bars were standing tight in the floor. She connected one side of the box with two of the bars and the other side with the left two bars by chains so that the box was in the air.
“Omg, I want to know whats happening outside.”, Maria thought.
“Just wait a little bit longer and you’ll see it.”
Under the box Roxanne put a Needlebed with extremely long and sharp needles. At next she took a few wooden lances.
When she stuck the first inside the box she sensed a strong wave of emotions from Maria, who thought: “Omg, what have you done?! It feels so good.”
“T answer that. I just put a lance straight through your vagina. More questions?”
“I didn’t know that this is possible.”
“Hey, I sawed you in half vertically. You sure felt something similar when I cut your complete, vagina clitoris and all in half!”
“Now that you mention it, you’re right!”

Roxanne kept sticking many lances inside the box. At last she took a torch and set it in flames. She cold it against the wooden lances, who began to burn immediately.
The box itself was out of special plastic and didn’t burn. But the parts connecting the bars and the box did.
When they finally burnt down, the box fell down and was holed by the needles as much as the tips of the needles were visible throughout the top of the box! Then Roxanne carried the next box nearer to the construction, showed the innser side to the camera so that it was clear that nothing was inside.
She waved her cape around it and stepped inside the box. She made herself little and when she stood up again, she wasn’t Roxanne anymore, but Maria was standing in the box with Roxannes clothes on.
Even the toering and the necklace were on her feet now. She was confused, but then she heard Roxannes voice in her mind. “Take the other box and show it to the camera.”
Maria did it and it was shown that nothing was inside the box and the needles really stung completely throught the box. Also that the burning lances had left the walls of the box sooted.
“Now turn it around and shake it until my body drops out of it.”
Maria shook and shook and suddenly Roxannes body fell out of the box. She was shackled exactly like Maria was, when she was inside the box and she was wearing the assistants dress of Maria.
“Now set me free. The key to the padlocks is in the pocket of your trousers.”
As Maria removed all the chains, Roxanne stood up and stopped the camera.

“Now you know what you have to do, if we use this trick on a show. Don’t worry we will train together more often, so you’ll be enough prepared.”
“Puh, good to hear. I swear I’m going to train.”
“Sure. We all will watch the video later and discuss it. Is tomorrow at seven’o’clock in the morning ok?”
“Of course. I will be there. We have time left. What do we now?”
“I told you that we have fun. Can you think of anything totally crazy? Just say it, anythings possible. My master was the greatest magician of all time, so even I am not as powerful as he was, I think I can make anything you can imagine true.”
“Really, um. There is something, but is really crazy.”
“Come on tell me!”
“I just wondered what happens, if I eat myself up!”
“That’s something new, but this ain’t a problem. Come we turn the boxes around start.”
“I can’t describe how happy I am that I am working for you now.”
“You don’t have to describe it. Just show me by putting all your efforts to this and everything will be fine.”
