A warm and salty breeze blew over the worn boards of the boardwalk as locals and tourists milled about; no one much paid attention to the man who stopped by the side and began to unpack an old trunk.

“May I have your attention please” the man yelled out fighting with his cape against the breeze. No one paid any attention.

He cleared his throat and stood on top of the trunk and repeated “May I have your attention please” A single person passing by turned their head “I am the Amazing Bob and this is my big return show. Today I will mystify and astonish you all with my feats of magic”

The Amazing Bob made his wand change into a bouquet of flowers as people continued to stream past him. “Hmm, I see that this will be a tough crowd today but no mind! I shall prevail and astound you all with my magic”

The Amazing Bob spotted two girls walking toward him. They looked alike so he assumed that they were sisters with their matching blue eyes and long straight blonde hair. “Look April!” the younger one said tapping her sister on the arm “A magician”

“Ah! I see someone appreciates my show”

“Really Alexa…magicians are for babies” April told her younger sister.

“And how old are you two?” The Amazing Bob asked.

“I’m 10” Alexa piped up.

April didn’t answer at first but as The Amazing Bob continued to stare at her she finally said “I’m 16”

“Well April since I really want everyone to enjoy my show…” he pulled a wand from his sleeve and gave it a flourish. <POP>

“Mmpfh” April said confused by the fact that a pacifier had suddenly appeared between her lips.

“Ha-Ha, that’s awesome” Alexa said pointing up at her sister’s mouth.

April’s brow furrowed in shock but as she went to spit it out, she instead sucked on it a few times, almost hypnotized by how comforting it felt in her mouth.

“April? Are you okay?” Alexa asked concerned. Each time April sucked on the pacifier, she seemed to get a little bit smaller.

April began to shrink down in height and in all around size. Her shoulders rounded as her arms shrank back. Her chest flattened along with her ass. Her legs thinned and got shorter and shorter with each suck on the pacifier.

April’s eyes popped wide open but she couldn’t stop. Her face was getting younger along with her body. Soon, she was both smaller and younger than Alexa. She let out an emphatic “Mmpfh!” as she saw her clothes begin to change on her body.

Her low cut white shirt turned bright pink and her shorts became looser and changed from tan to bright yellow. Her feet shrank out of her shoes before those changed into a pair of pink sandals that shrank along with her feet.

April continued to get smaller and younger; she was barely up to Alexa’s waist when she lost her balance and sat down hard on the wooden boards. Just as she went down though, some extra padding came along as her panties puffed out into a diaper.

Her hair thinned, her cheeks became full and round. Her short legs and arms became chubby with baby fat as the characters from Paw Patrol appeared on her tiny shirt.

“WAH!” the now 1 year old April cried out around her pacifier.

A shocked Alexa looked down at what had become of her older sister as The Amazing Bob gave his wand another small flourish.

Alexa took a step in April’s direction and began to grow. She grew not only taller but older. Her body matured rapidly and her clothes changed in size and style to keep up. Her breasts grew out large and full as her hips and ass flared out above long, full legs. She swept her hair from her face as her looks matured into those of a 25 year old concerned only about the happiness of her crying daughter.

“Don’t cry honey…Mommy’s got you” Alexa said as she scooped the crying child up off the ground.

Upon being picked up, April stopped crying and instead smiled at her Mommy.

“There’s Mommy’s happy little April” Alexa said, swinging her onto her hip.

The Amazing Bob produced a bright red helium balloon from the trunk and handed the string over to the laughing and clapping child.

“Can you say Thank You?” Alexa asked her daughter knowing the baby didn’t have many words yet beyond Mama.

“No Thank You two for enjoying my show” The Amazing Bob said making a stroller appear behind Alexa just as she turned to put baby April into it.

As the two walked off, The Amazing Bob swung his arms out wide “See I told you that you would all be amazed!” even though no one else had stopped yet.

Two college aged guys were walking toward The Amazing Bob arguing about the new Star Wars movie.

“Dude, you have to admit that Rey kicked ass in the movie”

“Kylo Ren was cooler…they just wanted to set up the next two movies; she couldn’t kick my ass let alone Kylo’s. You just like her because she’s cute and you two share a name… Ray”

“It’s the best name and I bet she could kick your ass if she was here right now” Ray said.

“The character or the actress?”

“Either: In fact even a look alike of Daisy Ridley could kick your scrawny ass”

The Amazing Bob smirked at the two young men and flipped his wand at the young man defending the character of Rey.

Ray shuddered as a chill passed over him “Are you saying that I couldn’t kick your ass?” he asked in a female voice that featured a distinct British accent.

“What?” the second guy said as he turned to his friend.

Ray began to shrink down from 6’1” to 5’7” and his body began to slim and trim and become sleek and fit. His brown hair became slightly darker and began to grow out longer and wavy. His eyes changed to hazel as his cheeks lifted and his nose straightened. His mouth widened, his lips plumped and his teeth whitened and straightened.

Small breasts formed up and grew out on his chest as his arms trimmed and muscled. His hips came out and his ass rounded as his legs slimmed yet also grew rounder and fuller.
His hands and feet shrank down as black nail polish appeared. In a flash, his jeans and green t-shirt became a blue dress and his white sneakers changed into a pair of black heeled sandals.

“Oh my God! Are you Daisy Ridley?” a voice called out.

Ray turned and smiled demurely “No…I get that a lot but I just look like her” she replied in her British accented voice before she turned back to her friend “I was asking you a question though that you still haven’t answered because you know that I can kick your ass”
And the two continued walking down the pier.

The next group approaching were all wearing matching gray t-shirts that said UC Santa Clara basketball. The five girls ranged in height from 5’5” to 6’1” and they viewed the magician with skepticism as they got closer to him and he turned to them and smiled.

“Ladies…would you like to see some real magic?” The Amazing Bob asked as he twirled his magic wand.

The tallest of the group stopped directly in front of him; she folded her arms across her chest and jutted out her hip “The chances that you can do real magic are about as much as us being the starting gymnastics team”

The Amazing Bob dipped his head and smiled “What is your name and how tall are you?” He waved his wand as he waited for an answer.

“I’m Ashley and I’m 6’1” she said confidently.

He went down the line getting names and heights “Taylor…6 foot; Katie…5’10”; Megan…5’8”; and Sam…5’5”

“Hmm…well if you’re going to be a gymnast you can’t be six foot one Ashley…maybe something more like 4’11” would suit you” he pointed the wand and Ashley began to shrink down rapidly in height.

Her shirt quickly dropped down and covered her shorts as her legs shrank down shorter yet also grew more muscular and thicker. Her feet shrank down several sizes and her arms also became shorter but thicker as new muscles appeared and her body structure changed.

Her facial features also changed dramatically as she got smaller. Her features shrank up and became much more delicate to fit her frame and stature as even her hair grew shorter and more manageable for her new sport of choice.

The other four girls gasped as Ashley dropped down to become the smallest of them not even coming up to Sam’s chin.

The Amazing Bob worked his way down the line flicking his wrist and doling out new sizes to all the girls “Taylor…5 foot” and she began to shrink. Her blonde hair pulled into a tight ponytail as her body shrank down. Her breasts pulled inward and her hips flared as her thighs grew massive in strength and pure power.

“Katie…5’1”

Katie pulled her hands up close to her chest as she dropped 10 inches in height; her body modifying from a lean basketball player’s build to a much more frail and delicate structure that hid her strength and training. Her long facial features changed and became almost elfin in their tininess.

“Megan…5’2”

Megan drew in a deep breath as she shrank down 6 inches. Her leg muscles popping forward as her chest strengthened and her breasts also became smaller.

“And finally Sam…you get to be the giant at 5’4”

“Uh…really” Sam said as she only shrank down an inch in height. Her clothes still fit perfectly and her body only changed slightly in build.

“There you go ladies…just as you asked. You are now the starting gymnastics team for your university. You might want to hurry back to the dorms though as there are now 5 very confused and gigantic former gymnasts that need your help to become a decent starting lineup for the basketball team”

The ladies retreated down the boardwalk as their clothes shrank down to match their new bodies, the wording on the shirts changing to UC Santa Clara Gymnastics.

A small crowd had formed up near The Amazing Bob “Would anyone want to see my take on a famous trick?”

A few hands went up as he turned around and tapped the ground. In a puff of smoke, the classic standing box appeared; he smiled and walked a few steps away before he tapped the ground again and a second box appeared.

“Now if I could have two volunteers from the audience…how about you Miss?” he said pointing to a very fit woman in running clothes who had stopped to watch.

“Me?” she asked pointing to herself and wiping her brow.

“Yes…what is your name?”

“Uh…Kim” she replied.

“Have been enjoying your workout?”

“Yeah…uh…I run a few miles every day” Kim responded as she stepped up into the box. The Amazing Bob helped her in and spun her around before he shut and locked the door. All that you could see of Kim was her face.

“And now for my second volunteer…how about you?” he said pointing to a heavy set woman who had stopped as well.

“Well okay” she responded as The Amazing Bob took her by the hand. “What’s your name?” he asked as he helped her up into her box.

“I’m Judy” she responded as she felt the box lid close in front of her. The Amazing Bob fluffed out some of her long blonde hair so that it filled in much of the remaining space in the small opening for her head.

“Well now Kim and Judy…what trick do you think we’re going to do today?” he asked.

“Uh…I don’t know” Kim responded.

“Good…then you can just hang back and enjoy it” The Amazing Bob replied with a smile. “Now as you may have noticed; Kim and Judy have two very different body styles but we’re going to do something about that today”

He tapped the front of Kim’s box and the number 112 appeared “Now would you say that 112 is an accurate weight for you Kim?”

“Um…Yes” she replied somewhat shakily.

The Amazing Bob walked over to Judy’s box. She shut her eyes as he tapped on it and the number 259 appeared. “Nothing to feel bad about Judy…it is what it is, until it is what it becomes”

Judy’s eyes widened as The Amazing Bob tapped the door and the number changed to 209. She felt different suddenly; she took in a deep breath and shook her shoulders inside the box. “Wow” she said.

“Wow indeed” The Amazing Bob responded as he pointed his wand toward the front of Kim’s box where the number changed to 162.

Kim exhaled heavily and suddenly as inside the box she felt her shoulders dip forward and a pain settle into her hip. “What are you doing to me?” she said alarmed looking at the number below her. “Do you mean to tell me that you just put 50 pounds onto me?!”

“Well for someone who has made fun of people who were bigger than her all her life Kim, maybe this is just a way of…how should I say this…balancing the scales”

Kim blushed bright red “How could you know that? I…I didn’t really ever mean it though…I was just…teasing” she replied rather weakly.

“Well now it’s time for you to see how it feels” The Amazing Bob said as he tapped her box again. Kim exhaled again and now felt cramped inside the box as the number on the front said 212. She could feel her upper arms growing, her thighs filling up and her stomach expanding outward.

Kim shifted inside her tightening confines as her ass and hips spread and her breasts doubled in size.

Judy blushed as well as her number dipped to 159. She had all kinds of room now in the box and she swayed her hips as they narrowed and her ass pulled in and up tighter. Her stomach, while still soft, pulled back as her legs and arms thinned.

Even the crowd could see a difference in their faces as Kim’s now filled out and puffed up and Judy’s trimmed and became more defined and angular.

“One more tap should do it” The Amazing Bob said. This time only 25 pounds changed as Kim’s number settled on 237 and Judy’s landed on 134.

“Let’s open these up” The Amazing Bob said as he tapped on the top of Judy’s box.

Judy gasped as she got a look at her new body which The Amazing Bob had decided to put in just a bikini. Her thinner arms swung to quickly cover up her body when she felt the breeze hit it.

There were whistles of approval and applause though as Judy stepped out of the box and onto the boardwalk. She pulled her right knee over and realized that her legs now looked awesome so she did a quick curtsey and smiled to the crowd as she slowly opened up and stood up straight. She flipped her long blonde hair back and stuck out her chest, putting her hands on her hips.

The Amazing Bob tapped on Kim’s door and it too swung open. Kim gasped at what she now saw too.

She slowly stepped out after having to turn her body sideways to get out. Her heavy legs, larger stomach and bust and bigger arms all jiggled slightly as she stepped out in a loose flowing top and Capri pants.

The Amazing Bob put his arms out “TA-DA” he said loudly as the two women returned to the crowd.

The Amazing Bob scanned the crowd and his eyes landed on a prototypical California Hippie. She wore her dirty blonde hair in dreadlocks and had on a pair of small round sunglasses. “What is your name?” he asked her.

“Reign Beaux” she replied.

The Amazing Bob took in her name and look with raised eyebrows. She wore torn jeans, Birkenstock sandals, a tie died t-shirt and a fringed leather jacket with a matching fringed leather backpack.

“Do you ever wonder what life would look like down a different road?” The Amazing Bob asked her.

She shrugged “I don’t know man” as she slowly lifted 2 and half inches up as her sandals became a pair of designer leather pumps encasing pedicured toes.

“Well maybe imagine if you were some kind of professional person” The Amazing Bob said as her jeans rose up exposing her legs. The fabric merged at her knees and became a tailored skirt.

“No way Man…never” Reign Beaux replied as her tie died shirt faded out to white and became a silk blouse and her fringed leather jacket became a black business suit jacket.

Her fringed leather backpack became a Michael Kors purse slung on her shoulder as her nails grew out with an exquisite manicure.

“But you could be making just as much of a difference in the world” the Amazing Bob told her as her hair unworked itself out of the dreadlocks and became a bright blonde bob cut and her sunglasses turned into a pair of black frames.

“You’re so right sir” she replied.

“You’re due back in the courtroom in an hour Rebecca…your clients are counting on you” The Amazing Bob said to the smartly dressed lawyer standing before him.

As Rebecca walked off, The Amazing Bob’s eyes focused on a bleach blonde in a bikini top and cut off denim shorts “And what is your name sunshine?”

She giggled “Like you’re so close…it’s Sunny”

“I knew it” The Amazing Bob replied. “Well much like Rebecca, do you ever wonder what life would be like down a different path; one free of plastic surgery and a belief that being ditzy is the way to go through life?”

“Um…” Sunny said chewing on her bottom lip genuinely puzzled by the question.

Nevertheless, The Amazing Bob waved his wand over her head as her nose reverted back to its original pre surgery look. The fake blonde coloring came out of her hair turning it a deep shade of natural brown. Her contacts disappeared and glasses appeared on her make-up free face allowing her natural freckles to show through for the first time in years.

The lip implants vanished along with the huge amounts of silicone implanted in her chest and her bikini top adjusted to her new smaller natural breasts.

“Still very beautiful…even more so now I would say” The Amazing Bob proclaimed.

Sunny blushed and dipped her chin in modesty. “Thank You, but you can call me Suzanne”

“You need to get to class Suzanne…your Micro Biology exam awaits” The Amazing Bob said as she picked up a heavy backpack and rushed off to get to class.

As he turned back to the crowd he saw two ladies standing next to each other but they were obviously strangers “Would you two ladies like to finish off this portion of the show…showing how life can be different with just a single simple turn down a different road”

The two ladies looked each other up and down and actually smirked at each other. ”Sure…why not” said the first one who then stepped forward.

The second one watched her step forward and she laughed “Okay…I’m game” she replied, “Can’t wait to see what I end up looking like…”

The Amazing Bob greeted the first woman “What is your name?”

“Angela” replied the heavily made up Goth girl.

“And what is your name?” he asked the second woman.

“Miranda” she replied, adjusting her mini skirt and tank top.

“So Miranda…you must be the curious type…I like that” The Amazing Bob said.

“Well, you never know until you try it” Miranda responded with a giggle.

With a wave of the wand, heavy purple eye shadow appeared on her eye lids. Dark, thick mascara came onto her lashes and eye liner rounded out the look. Her long brown hair began to pull up and darken to pitch black. The right side pulled way up into a short shaved look.

Miranda’s hand went up and rubbed the short fuzz there “Ooo” she said as her nail polish turned black.

Dark lipstick came onto her lips as new piercings came into her ears, nose, tongue and eyebrow.

Her white tank top turned black and an additional black shirt came onto her shoulders but not before she felt the stinging sensation of extensive and elaborate tattoos working their way up and down her arms.

A bolt shot through her navel as it too became pierced and her thigh started to itch as tattoos began to appear brighter and more vibrant there. Her mini skirt became a black skirt and fishnets appeared on her pale legs before her sandals changed into a pair of clunky black boots with thick heels.

She turned to Angela and stared at her momentarily.

Angela just smirked as The Amazing Bob waved the wand in her direction. “Are you ready Goody Two Shoes?”

“Ready to Rock to some boy band music” she replied as her hair began to grow out long and straight and chestnut brown.

The Amazing Bob laughed as her piercings faded and just a single one in each ear lobe remained. Her make up cleared to leave nothing but a freshly scrubbed face behind. A long straight nose and perfect straight white teeth beneath blue eyes made for the most wholesome look imaginable.

Her tattoos faded into obscurity and her milky pale skin shone forth with a fresh glow as her black trench coat turned into a light white shirt that sat on top of her white tank top. Her black jeans rose up into a pair of tan shorts and her black boots became white canvas sneakers as her fingernails turned from black to light pink.

Angela smiled and tilted her head ever so slightly toward Miranda.

“Now you two ladies can be on your way” The Amazing Bob said. Miranda snorted and slumped her shoulders as she walked off while Angela almost seemed to be skipping as she headed down the pier with her head held high.

The Amazing Bob eyed a security guard heading his way. “Well folks, I hope this has shone you just how Amazing magic can be but I believe my time here today is up” He snapped his fingers; and was gone.
