"There is no way you've hypnotized me," Molly announced as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. Who did this guy think he was, saying he could get any woman under his command? Bullshit!

"Are you sure about that?" Melvin the Magician asked. "I mean, it would be a shame for you to lie in front of all your friends, right?"

Well, that was true. "Lying is bad," Molly agreed.

"Excellent!" Melvin replied with a clap of his hands. "Now Molly, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"No," she replied truthfully.

He snapped his fingers. "That's excellent! As that means that you will have no problems having sex with anyone tonight, will you?"

She ignored the cheers from around her as she considered that. "It's not like there's anyone I want to," she avoided the question as best she could.

He tisked. "I suppose that's reasonable. That just means that you're looking for someone tonight, right?"

Well, the thought had crossed her mind. Just a little fun, right? She nodded.

He snapped his fingers again. "But you won't attract anyone dressed like that!" he pointed at her silky red dress. "You should take it off."

"Good point!" Molly agreed. She shrugged off the dress, letting it fall around her feet. With her black lace panties and bra, she was sure to attract someone, right? "Now what?"

"Well, I think for now, you're going to help me out here," Melvin said. "After all, I've been helping you."

"Meh, sure." Molly shrugged.

"Excellent! Now, who else wants to join Molly here under my spell?"

Molly watched patiently as some other partygoer named Emily approached and offered. Melvin snapped his fingers and then talked to Emily, getting her out of her dress as well. Unlike her though, Emily wore nothing under her blue jeans and jacket. Her small breasts were quite perky, and she shaved her pussy in preparation for the evening.

"Now," Melvin clapped his hands again, "Emily, this is Molly. Molly, this is Emily. You two will be the best of friends for the party."

The two BFF's hugged. "Man, I can't believe you joined me up here!" Molly said.

"I didn't even know you were here!" Emily returned. "I just had to join you!"

"Ladies!" Melvin got their attention. "Now it's time for the first magic performance. And you're both gonna help me."

"What are we going to do?" Emily asked.

"I'm glad you asked!" Melvin spun around and pointed at two upright frames that waited. "These, ladies, are for you."

Molly and Emily moved over and looked at the frames. They were four upright poles set into a base and were connected at the top by a square. It looked like nothing, honestly.

"Now, I need one of you ladies to volunteer to go first." Melvin looked at them.

"I will!" Emily said. "Molly got up here first, so it's my turn!"

"Excellent!" Melvin turned to Molly. "Go to the back and get the box labeled 'one', and bring it out."

Molly did just that, and when she came back, she saw her bestie standing inside one of the frames, arms at her sides. She presented the box to Melvin.

"Thanks!" he said. "Just hold that there for now. You're going to enjoy this." Molly did so.

Melvin opened the box, and pulled out a square sheet of metal. He showed it off and demonstrated that it was bigger across than the frame. "Emily," he said, looking her in the eye, "I'm going to start cutting you up now. Don't worry, you won't be harmed. In fact, you'll enjoy it!"

Molly watched, fascinated, as Melvin took the metal sheet in his hand, and slid it into the frame. It was level with Emily's neck, who stood still as it went right through. Molly's heart jumped to her throat, worried that something bad had happened to her best friend.

But to her amazement, Emily blinked! She smiled! She was still unharmed, despite having her neck cut!

Melvin lifted up the top section of the frame, the metal bottom forming a new box. He proudly announced what he had done, displaying Emily's head-in-a-box for all to see.  He set it down to one side, where Emily could see her body.

Molly waved at her, balancing the box carefully. Emily smiled back, eager for the next action.

Turning her attention back to Melvin, Molly watched in silence as he took another blade from the box she held. This one was just as big at the first, and he slid it through Emily from the right side. It cut through her arms, then went under her chest and out through the other arm. Somehow, the lower parts of her arms did not fall, and only now did she notice the top of the abridged cage-box was another metal sheet. When did that happen?

Melvin pulled the top off Emily again, her bare breasts jiggling slightly as the box moved. He held it up over his head like a trophy, then set it down on a different table, well away from the rest of Emily. "I bet," he addressed Molly, "that you've never seen her like this before?"

Molly shook her head. "No," she didn't.

Taking another blade from the box in front of her, Melvin sliced through Emily's legs above the knees. This time, he flipped her bare bottom upside down before putting it on the floor in front of him. Molly nearly gaped at seeing her best friend cut up like that, and put on display!

"Hot, isn't it?" Melvin asked her.

"Yeah," she agreed, breathless.

"You want to do something like that too, don't you?" It wasn't a question. She did. She nodded.

"Give me the box," he said, and Molly handed it over. "Go stand in that other frame," he commanded, and Molly did as she was told, centering herself within the empty frame. She looked out over the audience with trepidation. Would she enjoy this as much as Emily had? She would have to, right?

Melvin leaned in and whispered something in her ear. She didn't quite remember what he said. Instead, she stood still as he opened the box and produced something that caused the audience to gasp.

She wasn't sure what was going to happen. Wasn't he going to cut her up like Emily? To take her head off and then her breasts, then...?

Molly felt something touch her, and she was, for a moment, confused as her right arm felt warm and sensual. The feeling went left through her body, and when it reached her torso, the warmth expanded all along it and her legs too.

She noticed, but ignored it, as her panties and bra fell away to the left. After all, if Emily could be naked in front of all these people, why couldn't she? It was only natural.

The warm feelings spread across her, entering her legs, through her head and out the left side of her body.

"Tah-dah!" Melvin proclaimed as he stepped back out from behind her. "As you can see," he announced, "I have cut this lovely volunteer in half!"

What?

Molly felt something weird, like she was being moved, but not. Until out of the corner of her eye, she could see someone's bare back standing in an identical... She nearly oogled. That was her body over there! The back of her head, her body, her beautiful ass, her arms and her legs! She had been cut in half sideways!

She was turned on by the realization. "Now," Melvin announced for the pleasure of the crowd, "I used three blades on Emily, so it's only fair that I use three on Molly, right?"

Molly agreed, but found she had no voice.

Melvin produced from the box a blade that was far too long to fit in it. Molly tried to watch as he moved her rear half over to beside her front half, then she heard and felt the next the cut.

From her far left, Melvin slid the long blade along the double-wide box, cutting through her waist. Her back side was cut first, then a small gap before her front was sliced in two as well.

Molly wanted to move her hands, to touch herself, but Melvin's instructions were important.

"And now, for the third blade!" Melvin announced. This time, he stood in front of Molly, holding the vertical divider up for her to see. She held perfectly still as he slid the last blade forward into her body, pushing through her navel, between her breasts and through her head.

Molly was stunned as he began to pull her apart. She became dizzy as her head was pointed at itself, she could see, somehow, as her upper and lower backs were pushed to the sides, then her intact lower front put on display.

"That's it for my first act," Melvin announced. "I will take a quick break. While I go get the next part ready, I just wanted all of you to know that Emily and Molly will enjoy it if you examine them very closely to make sure that it's really them, and not some fancy trick." Melvin gave a quick bow. "I'll be back in 10 minutes."
