You received a letter in the mail today. It was rather nondescript, and had no sending address. Tearing it open, you discover it's an invitation.

"Greetings! You are cordially invited to attend a special sneak preview of the new magic show by up-and-coming young magicienne, Lin, at the After Hours Club this Friday night at 6:30. Prepare yourself for a fantastic show of impossible magic!"

You had nothing better to do that night, so you figured you might as well.

So here you are, sitting in a dark room, with about 20-30 other people. The room was set up like a small stage, circular tables lit by candles. Glancing around the room, you try to make out what other people were invited, but you don't really see anything noteworthy about the others. As you're questioning why you were invited, the stage lights darken, and a drumroll starts up.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together fooooor… Lin, the Magnificent!" Some applause followed, as the curtain rose on a young girl. She couldn't have been more than 22, you'd say. And she was drop dead gorgeous. Long blonde hair, a cute, yet, seductive face. Brilliantly lit eyes, and a smoldering hot body. She was dressed… provocatively, to say the least. Her costume certainly left nothing to the imagination. With very form-fitting clothes and a scanty top, her figure was on full display. Certainly explains why she booked the After Hours, you figure. The applause got louder, and you hear some whistles.

"Good evening, everyone! I hope you're all doing well." She says, cheerily.

"Better now that you're here, baby!" you hear a cry from someone in the back.

"Oh please, you're too kind." Lin winks at the crowd. "I hope to… 'inspire' some of you tonight!" She leans towards the audience seductively, and you could swear she was staring straight at you. You sit bolt upright, and she smiles.

"But enough about me, on with the show!" Lin says, flourishing a large top hat you didn't even realize she had. She steps back towards the stage, reaches behind the stage curtains and drags out a small round table, the kind they have in bars. It was about 2-3 feet high, you'd say, and you note that it has a single leg with the round base.

"You've all heard about the sawing-a-woman in half trick, I'm sure." Lin said, standing behind the table, both her hands planted firmly on the edges. "Well, have you ever considered what you would do with a girl in that situation?"

Every word of that sentence was uttered with absolute seduction, and you couldn't help but feel something stir. Just as the sentence ends, you realize that Lin was now sitting atop the table. No, wait, it's just her torso resting on top of the table. Her legs were still standing behind her, apparently detached. A moment of stunned silence overtakes the crowd, as Lin grins at her captivated audience, before it erupts into a volley of cheering and whistling.

Lin's legs step out from their place behind the table and start wandering about the stage, showing off their lovely shape. They take a step off the stage and walk into the crowd, hips swaying. You notice that there's no evidence of a cut, just a perfectly smooth layer of skin where you'd expect to see blood and guts. All around her legs, guys leer in, looking as if they want to touch them, but are similarly too scared to try anything.

"I'll need an assistant for my next trick!" You look back up at Lin on her perch on the table. "I think I'll let my legs decide who to bring up." She winks. You feel something poke you in the leg. Looking down, you realize her legs had wandered up next to you and prodded you with a foot.

"…me?" You stammer, standing up nervously.

"Sure, why not?" She smiles at you, "Just follow me back up to the stage." A brief moment's hesitation takes over you, but when you look back up at Lin, your doubts disappear, and you accompany her legs back to the rest of her.

"Now, I want to make sure that everyone knows this is real. And I can't think of any better way to do that than to let an audience member interfere." Lin says, motioning over to her legs. They walk up next to you and bump you in the hip. Hesitatingly, you poke her in the hip.

Running a hand over the 'cut' surface of her lower body, you find that her skin is incredibly smooth, and almost silky to the touch. As you do so, Lin smiles at you. You smile back, nervously.

"Alright, now… stand in front of me. Facing the crowd." Lin says, beckoning. You do as she says, and her legs walk up and stand in front of you. "Now…" you hear Lin cracking her knuckles behind you, "Don't panic, this won't hurt a bit."

You feel a sharp push in the square of your back, and you feel yourself fall forwards, stumbling as you catch yourself with your hands. "What the hell!" You shout, picking yourself back up and turning to face Lin. She's grinning. Behind you, the crowd roars. Wondering what the commotion was, you look down at the pair of pants standing before you, the same pants you decided to wear… Looking further down you find that you are now wearing a tight pair of pantyhose, a decidedly skimpy thong, and bright red high heels.

As your eyes grow wide in shock, Lin lifts herself up by her arms and hops onto your disembodied legs. She begins parading around the stage, walking with your legs, as you stand there in the middle of the stage, on hers, dumbfounded. "How…"

"Magic." Lin winks at you. You look down at your… Lin's legs once again, and pat them down with your hands. Nope, nothing there… these are definitely not your legs. You try taking a step, and marvel at how different it feels. Just as you're getting used to your new legs, Lin walks up next to you and puts an arm around your shoulder. You suddenly realize you're now shorter than her, her legs must be shorter.

"Well, as much as I'd love to see you stumble around with my legs all night, I think we should get on with the show." Lin jokes at you, grabbing the top hat from the table. "Now, I want you to follow what I do."

Lin flourishes the hat before the audience, pushing it inside-out to prove that there's nothing inside. She places the hat on her head gently. It is obviously far too large, as you see it slip over her eyes. You briefly spot her mouth twist into a grin as she pulls the hat over her head entirely. A brief moment passes, before she whips the hat off her head… wait, what head?

Where Lin's head used to be, there was nothing but a smooth plane of skin from shoulder to shoulder. Even her neck was gone. Your eyes grow wide in amazement, as your mind races, wondering how this is possible. Then again, you do currently have her legs, and her, yours. Lin's headless body (and your legs) flourish the hat again dramatically, as her free hand rubs across the blank spot where her head used to be. She then offers the hat to you.

Gingerly, you accept, realizing what she wants you to do. You look up at the audience, cheering madly for you to follow suit. You shrug, give a quick grin to the crowd, and pull the hat over your head. Suddenly, everything goes dark, as you're plunged into blackness. You can't even hear the crowd anymore. You hear a whisper, Lin's voice, breaking the eternal silence.

"Just a second."

Suddenly, a wave of sensation overtakes you again as you find yourself back on stage, to the thunderous applause of the crowd. You see Lin taking a bow, and you follow suit. As you do so, you look down, and find a pair of breasts obscuring your field of vision. You bolt upright again, and a quick observation reveals that you have your legs back again. And Lin's torso. A familiar pressure in your pants reveals that yes, you are quite turned on. Looking over at Lin, her head sits atop your torso, along with her legs. Still in shock, you reach up to your chest with your delicate hands, noticing that Lin's fingernails… well, your fingernails, are painted pink. You lightly squeeze the breasts attached to your body. They are quite real, and they are definitely part of you.

"Ahem!" You jump, as Lin clears her throat next to you. If you weren't blushing before, you sure as hell are now. "While I'm sure a lot of the audience would love to see you defile my body…" A combination of cheering and laughter erupts from the crowd. "We've got a dance to do." She reaches for your hand, taking it in her own. You feel your own hand hold yours tightly, and Lin pulls you in close to her.

"…dance?" You mumble, before music starts playing. You recognize it as a waltz, although it seems a little more upbeat.

"Well? You should lead, shouldn't you? You are the guy." Lin jokes at you. "Well, then again." She makes a big show of looking down at your breasts and giving them a squeeze. You're definitely blushing now.

"Hey, they're my breasts, I can do what I want with them." She laughs, "Now come on." She leads you towards the center of the stage, where you start performing a simple waltz. You're not quite sure what to do, but it's a simple enough dance, so you catch on. Just when you think you're getting the hang of it, the music seems to speed up tempo. Soon, you and Lin are spinning around the stage, and you start feeling strange.

Looking at Lin, her face seems to be… changing, in sudden bursts. One moment she looked normal, the next, her nose was different, then her eye changed, and then her nose changed back. When she notices you've caught on, she grins at you, and motions down at your dancing bodies.

Following her gaze, you're treated to a similar sight. You now have your own body back, but you still have Lin's arms. Your legs have been switched with Lin's, no wait, one of them switches back into yours, as you spin around the stage. Looking back up at Lin's changing face, you realize that those were your eyes, nose and mouth that kept appearing on her face.

The crowd is going wild, but you barely pay any attention to them as you feel your body shifting constantly, both due to the fervent dancing, and the sudden trading and switching of body parts. One second your chest suddenly feels heavy, weighed down by Lin's breasts, and the next, they're gone again, but your left hand becomes delicate and feminine. Then, the weight is back again, but this time, there's only one breast on your chest, Lin has the other, and then hers disappears and your torso is now completely Lin's, only for your left arm to return to normal. Despite the fact that your height and weight are constantly changing, you and Lin seem to have no trouble continuing the madcap dance, which has basically devolved into the two of you spinning in circles.

Suddenly, finally, you come to a complete stop, as the music dies down. You and Lin are holding each other in your arms. You look up at your own face, your own body, as Lin grins down at you with your face. Looking down, you realize you have completely swapped bodies with Lin.

"And thank you, to my lovely, gorgeous assistant!" Lin says, stepping away from you, and motions for you to take a bow. You nervously acquiesce, bowing your head to the cheering audience. You suppose it's apparent to the crowd that you and Lin have switched, or maybe they just don't care.

You take a step closer to Lin, and ask, in the same feminine, seductive voice you heard at the start of the show, "So… is the show over? Can we switch back?"

"Why, do you not want my body?" You hear your own voice quip back at you. "Dear, the show's only just begun."
