Olivia

Olivia has always thought magic shows were lame, but when the new guy she was seeing said there was one coming up he absolutely couldn’t miss, she kept that to herself. He had always loved magic tricks since he was a kid and heard this new local magician was a real up and comer. Olivia figured she’d find a way to enjoy it by hitting the cocktails at an accelerated rate and decided to pretend she thought it was interesting.

    She showed up in a black dress with black 5in heels, looking stunning as ever with her long black hair down. She started ordering drinks as soon as they sat down, and by the time the magician came on stage she was 3 drinks deep. He surprisingly came out alone with no assistant and wheeled a large box out on his own. “Good evening good people! Before I begin, I’m afraid my lovely assistant was a no show. May I borrow a young lady from the audience?” Several girls raised their hands, but his eye was on the beautiful Olivia who he could see had a few empty glasses in front of her. “How about you? You seem to be having a lively time!” She turned red and shook her head, but her date excitedly insisted that she comply. “Ugh okay okay fine!” The magician extended his hand and led her to the stage. “Alright everyone, I have quite the show planned but first let’s start with a classic. Please my dear, lay down in this here wooden vessel.” She wanted to get this over with so badly so she complied and got into the box. The box was enclosed except for the holes where her head and legs stuck out. The magician slipped both her heels off and dragged his finger down her left sole, making her purple polished toes scrunch. She let out a giggle to his pleasure, “sorry my dear, just wanted to prove these are your pretty feet sticking out.” He then picked up two metal sheets and stuck them both through the middle of the box making her wince, “Oof, wow I actually kinda felt that!” He laughed, “actually?! You doubt this is real? Let’s see how she feels this!” He took a saw from behind the stage and predictably began sawing the box in half. “Wow that tingles! What the hell?!” She was flinching with every saw stroke. Next thing she knew, he wheeled her bottom half away from her and spun her feet to face the crowd, “Ta-da! A true classic!” He tickled her feet for a few seconds making her blurt our a laugh, “haha! Holy shit this is fucking real! Heehee what the hell!” He smiled, “Mind your language! This is a family event. And of course it’s real, I’m a magician, not a con artist!” He then wheeled her back together with her top half. “Alright let’s get her back together and get to the good stuff!” He removed the metal plates and then something unexpected happened; her head started sliding deeper into the box. “Whoa what the hell? Where am I going?!” The magician smiled, “uh oh! Looks like the box is stealing our beautiful assistant!” She kept sliding in until her head disappeared, “Help! Where am I going! Get my out someone plea......” and suddenly her voice stopped and her legs began kicking. The crowd and olivias date were pleasantly surprised with a new take on this trick. “Well I don’t know about you guys but I think the box got tired of her sailor mouth! At least it left us her fun half for a little more entertainment. It’s not like she can complain now!” He then pulled a feather out of nowhere and started wiggling it on her vulnerable feet making her start kicking wildly. Her date was mesmerized by the trick, and started feeling a little turned on watching her poor feet being tormented by this magician. “I see her handsome date in the crowd looking a little concerned, don’t worry young man, she’ll be back in your arms soon enough!” He walked behind the curtain and returned with the top half of a mannequin that looked strikingly similar to a smiling Olivia. He put it down next to the box and opened hatch to pick up her legs. He picked up her wiggling legs and brought them down to her date who was absolutely amazed at the sight of his girl’s lower half being carried to him. The magician sat her down in her seat, “we can’t have you sitting her all alone without company!” He then walked back and grabbed the mannequin and brought it down as well, and he placed the mannequin on top of her waist, “now hear comes the real magic!” He tapped her waist with his wand and suddenly her legs stopped moving. “There you go, stunning as ever but much more well behaved. Enjoy!” Her date grabbed her thigh and to his shock he felt a plastic mannequin. He was so impressed with the trick he didn’t even concern where his date might’ve gone, after all it was just a silly innocent magic show...

Brittany

The magician then walked back behind the curtain and came back another box, this one in more of a compressed cube shape. He addressed the crowd, “alright ladies and gentlemen, I will need a new helper, since my last assistant is feeling a bit stiff!” The crowd laughed as usual, and in the crowd a man was nudging his cute date Brittany to go up. She was A beautiful blonde who was visibly blushing as she was way to shy to volunteer. This caught the magician’s attention, “you there! Your partner seems to think you’d be a good match, come on up here!” She smiled awkwardly and walked up to the stage while the audience clapped. She was wearing a blue casual dress with blue open toed heels exposing her big pedicured feet. “Alright my dear, please step into the box. I promise you’ll come out in a better condition than our last guest.” He opened a hatch and she crawled inside. He closed the box with her secured inside and tapped the box, causing a poof of smoke to come out of the cracks in the box. Her voice came from inside, “whoa, it’s getting cramped in here!” He tapped it again and the box fell apart, revealing a much smaller box. “Sorry about that, but your so petite I have a feeling you’ll be alright!” He tapped it again and more smoke came out, then a very faint and much squeakier voice came out, “I feel really weird, what’s going on?” He tapped it a 4th time and it once again came apart, revealing a box that was unbelievably tiny, about 5 inches by 5 inches at most. The crowd gasped, and he picked up the box and opened it carefully and picked up a 5 inch tall miniature Brittany with two fingers. She was horrified at her state and started kicking and flailing around while the crowds shocked voices drown out her faint squealing. “Ladies and gentlemen say hello to our little friend! If you thought magic wasn’t real before you must have different feelings now! Now young lady, what’s that phrase the kids these days are always saying? ‘You’re looking like a snack’?” The crowd laughed as he raised her above his head and opened his mouth. He then dropped her Into his mouth while Brittany screamed in her squeaky voice. He swished her around in his mouth and then swapped her whole. The crowd gasped in unison, “don’t worry everyone she’s fine! I just needed a little nourishment to get me through the rest of my show. I’ll bring her back when the time is right!” Her date was horrified, but the fact that someone would actually eat a live member of the audience was too ridiculous to believe, so he remained convinced that this had to be some illusion that can be explained. “Alright everyone let’s move on!”

Maddie

Watching in disbelief was another cutie by the name of Maddie, an 18 year old who was there with her parents who insisted on going for a family outing. She had dirty blonde hair and was much more casual in tight jeans with a black tshirt and black flats. The Magician was once again asking for another assistant, and Maddie was slightly interested because she genuinely wanted to figure out what was going on. The Magician instead pointed to a cute Hispanic girl in the front row, “how about you? You seem to be enjoying yourself!” She shook her head, “No way, this is too weird!” He tried to convince her, “cmon, I promise to be a gentleman!” She still refused “no seriously pick someone else.” He smiled, “well if you’re not enjoying yourself, I guess you can see yourself out!” He snapped his finger and she burst into a cloud of smoke, leaving nothing but her dress on her chair and her heels on the ground. Everyone laughed and clapped while her friends looked around in shock. “I’ll volunteer!” Maddie quickly raised her hand. The Magician turned to her, “finally! A real aficionado!” She walked up to the stage smiling. “Alright young lady, please step into the saw box that our first assistant was in. We’re going to try it a different way!” He had her lay down in the box and closed it exposing just her feet and head. He then pulled out a long scimitar sword, making Maddie a little nervous. “Don’t try this at home folks!” He swung it down at her neck and removed her head clean off, then did the same with each foot making the crowd scream and gasp. He gently picked up maddies surprised head making her scream, “oh my god! This is real! How did this happen!?” He laughed, “Calm down now, don’t lose your head!” And winked at the crowd. He placed her down on the ground facing the ground and picked up her right foot and slipped the shoe off, exposing a small pedicured foot with red nails and gave it a quick tickle causing her to giggle. “As you see she still has control of her foot, here give it a try!” And he tossed it into the crowd to the nearest person. The man he tossed it to tickled it as well making Maddie laugh and the magician clapped, “pass it down the line don’t be greedy!” Each person in the row took their turn feeling and tickling the foot to Maddie’s dismay, “hahahaha ok ok they get it stop tickling my foot!” He obliged her, “alright everyone enough tickling, let’s put her back together!” He got her feet and head and placed them on a chair on stage, then walked down to the mannequin of Olivia, “may I borrow her again?” Her date smiled and nodded. He brought it on stage and took out the sword again and swung it cutting off her head as well. Maddie could tell where this was going, “oh no don’t tell me you’re gunna make me a mannequin too!” He laughed, “of course not! You were such a good helper I couldn’t repay you like that!” He placed her head on the neck of the mannequin and tapped it with his wand, and immediately the mannequin was animated and started running around in circles. “Ah! What the hell? I have no control of this body!” The magician gave an evil smile, “oops! I forgot to mention that! Now this brings up a good question as we end our show; who should we return her to? Our beautiful first assistant’s handsome date, or our last assistant’s parents? I suppose they will have to work that out amongst themselves!” He picked up Maddie’s foot and tickled it some more driving her crazy. The crowd laughed while Olivia’s body stumbled around with Maddie cackling from the tickling. “Alright everyone, this has been fun but you’ll have to excuse me now, that second assistant went right through me!” The crowd chuckled once again, and he stuck Maddie’s feet into his jacket, “It’s time for me to go now, and I think I’ll take these for safe keeping since our lovely assistant won’t be needing them. Goodbye everyone!” And suddenly in a burst of smoke, he was gone. The crowd clapped loudly and gave a standing ovation, but those who accompanied the “assistants” were incredibly confused by the lack of closure.

    The rest of the crowd assumed everything was resolved with each party, but the friends and family of the victims slowly realized the Magician was really not coming back. To make things worse he literally operated the show under the name The Magician, so they had no idea who to contact. Maddie was frantically stuck in her room with Olivia’s body tied up and restrained to her bed. Brittany and olivias dates as well as the friends of the lovely latina who was disappeared all contacted the police but nothing ever came up. The police laughed at the descriptions of how they were disappeared and never took the case seriously, it just seemed unreal. Magic couldn’t really exist.
