I went to the comedy club downtown that night just to unwind…I didn’t know that the opening act was a magician.
I took my seat and began sipping my Crowne and Coke when The Amazing Bob came on the stage. He looked like a total slob and I didn’t think we’d be in for much of a show. There wasn’t much of a crowd anyway; maybe 15 people tops and very few were paying attention to him.
I was one of the ones who was not paying any attention to him; I was watching the crowd, the waitresses and anything else that kept my attention. It wasn’t until I heard “…yes I’m talking to you man at the table in the third row wearing a black shirt and staring at that waitresses’ ass; yes you sir”
I turned my eyes to the stage with a confused look. “Me…what?”
“Would you like to come onstage to assist me in my next trick?” The Amazing Bob said to me.
“No.” I replied quickly and firmly.
“Okay…we’ll get back to you later” he said before another man in the crowd was picked.
I started to mess with my phone and was texting when I heard him talking to me again.
“It’s your turn sir…everyone else has assisted me tonight so far” The Amazing Bob said.
“I really don’t want to…” I began to say.
“All you have to do is stand still” he said motioning for me to join him.
I took in a deep breath through my nose and exhaled as I stood up. I slowly made my way up to the stage and I heard all of three people applaud.
“So, what’s your name?” The Amazing Bob asked.
“Uh…Jim” I said into the microphone.
“Well thanks for helping out tonight Kim” he replied.
I raised an eyebrow but let the name thing pass for the moment as I stood on stage.
“Now Kim, all you have to do is stand still for me tonight…think you can handle that?” The Amazing Bob said with a smile.
“Well; it’s Jim…and yes I think I can stand still” I replied.
He continued on “Since all of you have ben up here tonight, you all know that there are no mirrors or trap doors or any other special equipment up here correct”
No one responded in the audience.
“But I do want you to all pay attention to this trick as I think you might be surprised and, dare I say, amazed.”
He turned to me “Now Kim, how tall are you?”
I was at least a full head taller than The Amazing Bob so I sighed heavily and replied “6 foot 3 inches”
“Oh; tall one…but I think you’re wrong on that account” he said as he put his hands on my shoulders.
With a gentle push on my shoulders, I felt myself begin to shrink. His hands remained on top of my shoulders as I began to drop inch after inch in height. “What are you doing?” I said as I came closer to Bob’s height.
“Magic” was all he replied as our eyes met level with each other.
But he didn’t stop there; his hands continued to gently press down on my shoulders and I continued to get smaller. Soon I was looking up into his eyes. He took his hands off of me and I realized that I now only came up to his chin. I looked down at the stage, expecting to see myself dropped down on a trap door or something but all I saw was the wooden stage and my clothes hanging loosely on me.
“Now Kim, would you like to answer the question truthfully this time? You are not 6’3”: How tall are you?”
Without hesitation I answered “5 foot 1”
My eyes bulged at my answer “Why did I say that?” I asked in a panic “How did you…?”
“Magic my dear girl” he answered quickly and confidently.
I stood there in shock as he walked around me. “Now I know that short hair can be quite beautiful, but I think that you will look much prettier with longer hair” he said from behind me.
I felt his hands touch my hair and he began to massage his fingers through my short brown hair as if he were lathering it up with shampoo. I felt tingling in my scalp a split second before I felt wisps of hair begin to brush against my ears and the back of my neck.
I was paralyzed to turn around. I felt locked to the floor as my hair grew longer and longer. I could see the expressions of the people in the audience now; they were entranced by my growing hair and shorter stature. Out of the corners of my eyes, I could see my hair twisting and turning as it grew down over my shoulders and I could feel it brushing my cheeks and neck now as it styled itself in long wavy curls.
“Now that’s what I call a hairstyle” The Amazing Bob said as the audience applauded louder this time.
He produced a hand mirror from behind his back and handed it to me.
“Ah” I said quickly. My right hand held onto the mirror as my left hand grasped at my long flowing locks. “What are you doing to me?” I said
“Soon enough Miss” he said before turning to the audience. “Now, now, now; please keep a close eye on our volunteer’s pretty visage” he turned back to me and added “Please keep that mirror handy; you will need to keep a close eye on yourself too”
“What?” I asked in shock.
He flipped my hair back off my shoulders so it flowed down my back and as he did, he smoothed it out around my ears. From behind my ears, he produced two gold hoop earrings that he quickly showed to the crowd. Without a word, he pushed them against my ears, which suddenly produced a hole for the piercings to go through. I quickly swung the mirror to my newly pierced and much smaller ears. “Oh my…” I muttered.
But before I could go any further, he placed his hand in front of my face. He stuck his thumb through his fingers and said “Got your nose” and with the slightest tap against the end of my nose, it began to shrink. I watched in the mirror as my nose grew smaller and changed shape from rather pointed to rather small and round.
He next reached into his pocket and produced a pair of dark sunglasses that he slid over my eyes. A second later he removed them, reveling that my eyes had changed from brown to blue and had become much wider with long lashes.
Staring into the mirror, I blinked rapidly. He placed his thumbs on my eyebrows and ran them over them, thinning them as he went. He pulled out a make-up brush and acted as if he were applying make-up to my cheeks. As he did, my cheeks rose up to apple fullness. He continued to brush around my chin and jaw as they reshaped themselves as well. Finally, he pulled out a tube of lipstick and even though he barely touched my lips with it, suddenly I had red, pouty, full lips on my now feminine face.
“Now isn’t she pretty?” he said, standing next to me.
The crowd was now quite involved in the trick and they applauded loudly.
“How are you doing this to me?” I asked “And don’t you dare say…” as I was talking, The Amazing Bob pulled a magic wand out of his sleeve and he tapped me on the throat. Once that tap was applied, my last word sounded very different.
“…magic”
The crowd gasped at my final word and my left hand flew to my throat and my eyes bulged in shock and surprise. The word magic had come out in a woman’s voice.
“Now don’t be shy” The Amazing Bob said with an amused tone “Let the audience hear your beautiful singing voice” He clicked his fingers and I began to sing “Take this pink ribbon off my eyes…I’m exposed and it’s no big surprise…Don’t you think I know exactly where I stand…This world is forcing me to hold your hand…’ Cause I’m just a girl” I finally stopped singing No Doubt and clapped my hand to my mouth.
“Doesn’t she have a lovely singing voice?” The Amazing Bob said to the crowd.
He took the mirror away from me as he did another circle around me. “I have a question for you Kim”
“WH…what?” I said meekly.
“Why are you wearing just your bra out in public like this?” He snapped his fingers and my black shirt disappeared, leaving me standing on stage in just an empty black bra.
I self-consciously slapped my right arm across my chest to cover myself. My right hand gripped my left elbow and I rubbed my hand up and down my arm.
“No need to be embarrassed Kim” The Amazing Bob said to me. “You look to be in great shape…nothing to be ashamed of…by the way, how much do you weigh?”
I looked down and saw that I was much smaller and skinner all over. “Um…110” I answered. I had been 210 when I walked in, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it. I could see the differences in my stomach and chest at how much smaller they were already.
I felt a pressure building in my chest. I clenched my skinny arm down as hard as I could across my chest, but something made me drop it to my side. Against my will I turned to the side to give the audience a profile view of my chest.
The Amazing Bob lifted his hands above his head and rubbed his fingers together. With each pass of his fingers, my breasts grew larger. I looked down, my mouth gaped open as they grew out quickly and filled out the cups. I felt my nipples press against the soft satin fabric and I felt the weight of my breasts settling in on my chest. I suddenly had use of my hands again and they flew up and covered my breasts. My face flushed bright red and I turned my back to the crowd as they clapped long and loud.
I glanced over my shoulder at the crowd, brushing my hair away with my chin as the magician circled around me once more. With a click of his fingers, my jeans disappeared, leaving my legs now exposed to the awe struck audience. For some reason I knew that my boxers were no longer on and I looked down in horror to see that I was wearing a lacy pair of thong panties. I wanted to jump and spin around to face the audience once more and deny them an extended look at my exposed cheeks, but it was already too late. My ass had expanded and rounded off into a firm and full ladies’ heart shaped rear end.
I heard a catcall whistle from someone in the seats and I felt my face flush anew.
I managed to shuffle myself around in a semi-circle to face the crowd and as I came around, I made sure both of my hands covered the front of the thin panties.
“So unsightly” was all The Amazing Bob said. He faced the audience and placed his hands at about 8 inches apart from each other. Dramatically, he slowly began to bring his hands closer to each other. As he did his gesture to my right, I felt my penis shrinking and pulling backward into my body. He acted as if he were straining to get his hands to meet and with a final clap of his hands; my penis and testicles were gone; replaced by a vulva, clitoris, vagina and uterus.
An audible gasp escaped my mouth and my thighs clamped together and my knees locked tight.
He walked up to me and pulled a pink razor from his sleeve. He tapped my right leg and the hair disappeared and then the left one. Once more he turned to the audience and lifting his hands up to his midsection, he moved them about in an hourglass motion.
With his hands moving, my hips flared outward, my thighs became fuller and my calves trimmed, leaving me with a woman’s legs.
I looked down at my new figure in shock. “Almost done now Kim” The Amazing Bob said to me. He brought his foot up and stomped down on the stage making my shoes vanish.
Now barefoot, he clicked his heels together and my feet began to change. They shrank down and reformed themselves into a pair of petite and dainty women’s feet all the way down to my pedicured toes.
“How do you feel now Kim?” he asked.
“A bit cold” I said as I was just in a bra and panties on stage.
He pulled a black scarf out of his sleeve and showed it to the audience, making sure everyone could see that it was just a thin scarf. He quickly waved it in front of me in a single pass.
I gasped along with everyone else in the crowd when I looked down to see that I was now wearing a form fitting black cocktail dress and black heels.
“TA-DA” The Amazing Bob said.
The audience rose to their feet and gave a long standing ovation. He gestured toward me and I did a slight curtsey while blushing all the while.
“You have been a lovely assistant Kim” he said to me while looking deep into my eyes. “You may return to your seat”
Before I could move, he grasped my elbow and gave a slight nod. As I walked past, he whispered to me “When I end the show, I will say Thank You, you are all marvelous. At the word marvelous you will know that you have always been Kim Doddridge and you will find that everyone else has always known you as it too”
I gave him a puzzled glance as I walked back to my seat dumbfounded. I sat down and instinctively crossed my legs beneath the table. I was in shock. I had walked in here as a 6’3” 210lb man and I would be leaving as a 5’1” 110lb woman and for some reason; I was fine with that.
I heard The Amazing Bob wrapping up his show. Part of me wanted to stand up and yell but then I heard him say “Thank You…You are all Marvelous”
I blinked my eyes and shook my head. I stood up and applauded along with everyone else in the crowd.
“What a great show” I thought to myself as I adjusted my dress and sat back down to watch the headline comedian.
