Ash was in his second year at college, attending a university on the coast of sunny California and working towards getting his bachelors in programming.  Ash’s full name was Ashley Stele, but he preferred Ash in lieu of his feminine sounding name that his parents had chosen.  He was tall and of average build, with short cut red hair and a smattering of freckles across his face. 

He was currently sitting in his two bedroom dorm room, playing videogames far too late when he received a text from his friend Ruth.  The text read “Ash, come meet me and the others at 346 E Main St, near the warehouses.  I’ve got tickets to something really cool and I want you to join us.  Sorry this is so last minute!”

Ash leaned back in his chair and sighed.  Ruth was always doing this, spontaneously making plan and setting on some adventure or another.  Where Ash was content to wait and for things to come to him, Ruth actively sought out new and exciting things to do.  Friends since they were young, Ruth had always been his opposite, and that’s likely why they had stayed friends for so long, much to Ash’s chagrin.

Still, he had nothing to better to do, and more often than not anything Ruth wanted to go to was worth going to.  He threw on some comfortable jeans, a loose red shirt and stepped into his sandals and left the dorm. 

The venue was only a couple minutes’ drive from the university, although venue wasn’t quite the right term for it.  What Ash pulled up to was actually one of the warehouses in the business district, most often used as a makeshift rave area or art exhibit.  Tonight there hung a banner reading “Underground Magic Show – Tonight Only!”  Ash smirked; Of course Ruth would want to go to this. He thought to himself.   She loves that magic crap.  Ash, a skeptic through and through, could only hope the show would be somewhat entertaining, and maybe the performer would refer to themselves as an illusionist and not an actual magician. 

Ash was greeted at the entrance by Ruth and three other friends.  Ruth was there wearing a top reveling her midriff and a medium length skirt.  Ruth was an avid hiker and climber, and her toned body reflected this.  Her slim Korean athletic features were only enhanced by Ruth’s ruthlessly cute tomboyish face, slight tan, and short messy black hair and puppy dog eyes.  She was nearly a head shorter than the tall Ash, but she always seemed to take up more space than her.  The other three were, Daniel; another computer science major with Ash and a close friend.  He was a man who enjoyed a good game of chess as much as he did a long game of soccer, shirking off the typical nerd stereotype, something Ash did not.  He was lean and handsome and wore his dark brown hair in a trim crew cut and wore a pair of round glasses.  Darcy, a tall brunette, was a somewhat mean spirited woman, always teasing, but never to hurt.  She was always making one joke or another, usually at someone’s expense.  She was wearing a full dress that revealed a little of her large bust, something she was quite proud of.  She was curvy in the way Ruth’s body would never be, and Darcy was never without want for a boyfriend.  Her face was angular and her long brown hair only helped her alluring figure.  Last was Mina, a tepid Indian girl who had only just joined this group of friends.  She was in the same classes as Ruth and had sort of fallen in with them during their time at the university.  She was a mousy girl, unsure of her physical traits.  She had a thin waist with large hips and a moderate bust, something the guys around her desired but she was too shy to notice.  Her hair was tied back into a long French braid that left her face, and for that matter her oddly yet brilliantly green eyes for all to see.  She was currently lost in her 3DS, idling tapping away as the others waited for Ash to arrive.

Ash walked up to his group of friends and Daniel was the first to spot him.  “Hey, Ash!  Hurry up, the show’s about to start!”  Ash ran over and was greeted by everyone.  Hugs and greetings were exchanged before the group went inside the dimly lit warehouse.  Ash noted that, while the outside was unassuming, the inside of the warehouse had had a lot of effort put into it.  There was a bar with an extensive alcohol list and several bar tenders handing out drinks to the impatient crowd.  At back of the large space was a long stage complete with several tables and boxes that were hidden by cloth, as well as a huge red curtain that separated the crowd from the cast behind it.  In front of this were over a hundred folding chairs arranged neatly into two rows, most of them already filled.  Most curious of all though was the makeshift stand at the opposite side of the show area.  Several tables with pink cloth showcased an impressive collection of unopened sex toys for sale.  Two scantily clad women were running the stand and were busily handing out their merchandise to eager and some embarrassed customers.

Ash bent over to Ruth and asked, “Uh, Ruth, just what kind of magic show is this exactly?”

Ruth smiled and punched his arm casually, “It’s a sex magic show Ash!  My friend in Oregon went to it and said she had an amazing time.  Changed her life is how she described it.  But you can only get in if you’re invited so I had her get me some tickets for the show.”

Mina spoke up then, “But why did you invite us to a sex show?  I don’t think I would have come if I had known that…”

Darcy tussled Mina’s hair, making Mina swat her hand away in annoyance, “Relax Mina, this should pretty fun.  I wonder what they’re going to do that’s so magical: saw a man in half and play with him?  Two girls one magic box?  Make someone’s boobs float away?”

“Geez Darcy, do you ever let up with erotic stuff?  It’s just about all I hear out of you.”

Ruth injected herself into the middle of the group, her small Asian body pressed between Darcy and Daniel, “Guys, guys, please.  This is going to be rad, so just enjoy it. Besides, I heard it’s supposed real magic, as in you can’t even tell it’s an illusion.  And no Ash, before you speak I don’t care if it’s real or not, this is going to be so exciting.  Now take your seats so we can watch the show” She grabbed Mina and Ash and dragged them to the chairs, prime seats in the firstrow with a great view of what would unfold on the stage.  Darcy and Daniel soon followed, bickering under their breath.  Ash quickly got up, earning a pleading look from Ruth. 

“Don’t worry, I’m not going.  I’m just grabbing a drink.  You guys want anything?”

Everyone but Darcy declined.  “Yeah, get me a glass of Cabernet or something.  I wanna get toasted while I watch this.”  Ash gave her a thumbs up and headed for the bar.  He got Darcy her wine and himself a beer and a shot.  As soon as he got back and sat down, the lights had dimmed and the show seemed about to start. 

Mina leaned into his ear and whispered, “You know what’s weird?  Almost everyone in here is a woman, and I don’t think I’ve seen an ugly face in the crowd.”  Ash furrowed his brow and turned around to scan the room.  Mina was right, most of the seats were taken up by pretty women, and speckled here and there were a couple of guys, but for the most part the audience was female. 

“Huh, maybe it’s geared more towards women.  If that’s the case, I hope you like seeing a lot of penis tricks I guess.”

“Ewwww, I just hope it’s not that bad.” Mina sank in her seat a little as the show commenced.  There was movement behind the curtain and soon thereafter a woman walked out onto the stage.  She was absolutely stunning, standing just over six feet tall and with a head of long bright blue dyed hair tied back into a ponytail.  Her large breasts proceeded her by seconds, their mass barely contained by the black skull shirt that she was wearing, and her pants did nothing to hide her shapely legs and tight butt.  A lower lip stud and triple nose bridge piercing helped complete the sexy yet dangerous look she was obviously going for.  Ash was a little shocked to see a woman performing up on stage, and even more so, one that looked nothing what he pictured a magician to be.

Ruth squeezed Ash’s shoulder and squealed, “Ash, doesn’t she just look fucking rad?  I can’t wait to see what she does!”

“Yeah, me too…” Ash said as he gave the woman a puzzled look.

The woman bowed several times to the applause that erupted at her arrival before silencing the room with a hand.  She smiled, surveying the room, and not without giving Ash what he thought was a very direct stare at him.  “Greetings ladies and gentlemen, my name is Cazzandra and yes that is with two ‘z’s.  Don’t think about it, it’s a magician thing.”  This got a little titter from some of the audience.  “I prefer to go by Cazz if that is okay with you all.  Now, I can see from my audience that some of you have been here before, and that means some of you have been breaking my Fight Club style of rules, which means they worked.  Thank you for not heading my warnings and bringing in even more guests!”

There were some more cheers before she quieted the stage again.  “From what I understand, most of you are new to my show, so I have a question:  Who doesn’t believe in magic?”  Several dozen tentative hands went up, including Ash’s who shot up even before the question ended.  She gave him a wry smile.  “Well, I can understand your skepticism.  Magic isn’t something that we really see in this day and age.  BUT!  I am here to say magic is real, and it is making a big come back, just in a way most people wouldn’t expect.”  She walked to the cloth covered table on the left side of the stage and ripped the cover away.  Upon the table lay a veritable assortment of cutting instruments and blades.  “I, for one, focus on the magic of the body.  It is one of the most potent magic’s, and I think it is also the most fun.  I guess it goes without saying that parts of this show will be a little erotic in nature, but you all knew that from the get go.”

She picked up a short sword from the table and held it above her head for the audience to see.  She waited for a moment, letting everyone see the sharp blade in her hand before she brought it down on her supple neck, slicing easily into her flesh.  The audience gasped and there were a couple of screams as Cazz’s head was separated from her shoulders.  Amazingly, her free arm shot out in front of her and caught her head by her ponytail.  Ash was shocked to see that there wasn’t from either side, but rather a smooth expanse of flesh covering the severed areas.  Holding it up like a trophy, Cazz’s bodyless head laughed it off.  “Now who doesn’t believe in magic?!”  Ash, ever the skeptic, raised his hand once more.  He found to his dismay that he was one of only several now doing so.  The beheaded woman sauntered over to Ash, who obstinately held his ground.  The head spoke in a sly tone, “Still unconvinced?” 

“Nope.  I mean, it was a really good trick, I don’t know how you did it.  But, magic isn’t real.  It’s just very good illusions.” Ash said as he stood his ground.

Cazz smiled, then chucked her head into Ash’s lap.  Ash nearly jumped in shock as the female head landed heavily in his lap.  The head giggled as she was turned to face Ash.  “Every show has a hardcore skeptic.  Tell you what, if you’re still convinced this isn’t real at the end of the show, I’ll give you a prize: I'll do whatever you want to your body, just name.  Extra arms?  Bigger muscles?  Huge dick (she gave him a sarcastic wink), you name it, I'll do it, no questions asked, except for maybe your number if you pick the latter.

“Ok.  And if I lose and I think your illusions are real?"

"Hmmmm, "She said pensively", There is this one thing I've been wanting to do but no one has been crazy enough to try it out.  Something really bizarre, something that would certainly stand out.  So, how about it?"

“Ha!  Sure, I’ll take you up on that!  I just hope you’re not too attached to your prize!”  Ash said with the confidence that she wouldn’t even be able to follow up with her deal.  “Hey wait, she’s not m-“

Ruth nudged Ash in the arm.  “Now, if you would kindly hand me my pretty head back, I can get on with the show.”  Without thinking he handed what had to be prop head back to the convincing headless body.  Cazz’s body stuck her head back on between her shoulders, were it rejoined seamlessly with her flesh as though it had never been cut off in the first place.

“Alright, now that we have a little bet going on, let’s get things crackin’!  Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention, I cast a slight normalizing effect around the warehouse so no one freaks out and leaves before the show is over.   Who would like to be the first volunteer?!”  A plethora of hands shot up, all of them wanting to participate in the magician’s surprisingly realistic show.  Cazz pretended to ponder on her choice for a bit before she pointed to a woman in the far back to come up on stage.  “You there, in the red dress, come on up here!”

The woman ran up to the stage where she introduced herself as Amanda.  She was in her late twenties and had a curvy build that filled out her red dress and red hair in a bob-cut.  “So Amanda, have you ever participated in a magic show before?”

“No, I haven’t, so I am really excited to be a part of this!”

“I like your enthusiasm Amanda.  Now, since this will technically be the first trick of the show, I am going to start this one off slow.  Are you ready?”  The red head nodded.  “Ok, would you please undress?”  The redhead blushed, but she obliged the magician and began taking off her dress.

Daniel muttered something about this being too much under his breath, Mina gasped and slightly covered her eyes, while Ash, Darcy and Ruth watched with their full attention. Ash sipped his beer and thought, Well, even if the magic isn’t real, I get to see some naked women tonight and they aren’t on my computer.  Win-win!

As soon as Amanda had finished undressing a blade came down swiftly upon her neck and her was caught by Cazz.  Amanda cried out in shock, but was soon dumbfounded by her predicament.  “Is my head really chopped off?”  Cazz told her yes and flung the head back to its owner’s body.  Amanda flailed about and caught her head upside down and pressed against her firm breasts.  She giggled as she turned her head around to face the audience.  She had only moments to enjoy this as the blade sliced through her again, only this time it was through her midsection.  Her top half tumbled to the floor and her head rolled to base of Cazz’s feet. 

“And that is why most of my tricks are performed without clothing.”  She picked up Amanda’s head and stuck it to the blank spot above her topless waist.  Now her head was only scant inches from her suddenly very wet pussy.  “As can also be seen, you don’t exactly have to attach body parts to their original spots, and that’s when things get interesting. “  She bent over Amanda and pressed a knife above the top of her pussy, then pressed down as she peeled it off.  The flap of skin that was Amanda’s genitals hung limply from the magician’s hand, her shaven pussy bare for the enter room to see.  She then stuck it in her mouth and began to chew.  Amanda, with her head planted firmly above her groin, fell to the floor writhing in pleasure as her cunt was manipulate in Cazz’s mouth. 

Eventually she stopped chewing and pursed her lips as if to blow a bubble.  She blew, but instead of a balloon, the tip of a penis exited her lips.  She blew again and more cock flesh came out.  Once more and a pair of balls spilled out her mouth before the cock landed in her hands. “Hmm, this doesn’t look like yours Amanda, but it’ll have to do.  She pressed the nearly ten inch long penis into reduced woman’s groin where the erect cock slapped the girl in the face as it instantly grew erect.  Amanda instinctively began to lick it before Cazz removed her head again.  “Tsk, tsk, so eager, but I have more tricks to perform.”  She put Amanda’s torso back on and re-clothed her, but left her head detached and the large penis firmly attached to her body.  She slapped her on the butt and let her go back to her seat.  “Everybody, a round of applause for Amanda!”  The crowd cheered as Amanda hurriedly carried her head back to her seat before shoving it under her dress.  Sucking could be heard as Cazz announced the next trick.

The group was speechless having witness what they had.  Ash was ashamed to see he was aroused, but he was certainly not the only one.  Moving his shirt so that it wouldn’t be so obvious, he continued watching the show…
