Matt couldn't help but smile as he watched the iconic red double decker bus drive passed him and onto Westminster Bridge. He carried on walking towards the bridge watching the slow rotation of the London Eye and caught another glimpse of the front of the bus. His eye was drawn to the poster plastered across the front of the vehicle above the drivers window. A beautiful brunette wearing a barely there black bikini was posed with a slogan advertising a magic show with a difference.
..............
"Well you said you wanted to see the sights .."
"You stuck me to the front of a bus and i spent 3 whole days doing laps of central London!"
"Clever huh?"
Lisa laughed in frustration. The only other possibility would have been to cry. "Yes. Very clever. I guess it got a bit of attention for the show?"
"Oh yeah, worked great. You are quite hard to ignore, especially dressed like that " Matt grinned.
Lisa ignored the compliment. "So when is the show?"
"Oh not until Saturday" He saw Lisa's confused look. "Two more days. You will get a chance to look round properly too" Matt smiled kindly
"Ah. Ok. Cool. Great. Er . I don't suppose you brought any real clothes for me ? "
"Ah".
.............
Lisa found she was daydreaming slightly as she waited just off stage for Matt to complete his closeup magic set and give her her cue. It had been a rather wonderful trip. She had actually enjoyed the surreal experience of seeing many of London's famous sights from the unique vantage point of a bus poster, and had then had a couple of free days to explore for herself. The show was looking promising and the burlesque acts and risque comedian they had followed suggested it would be an adventurous show. As usual she had no idea what would happen next.
Lisa strode onto the stage and into the bright spotlights grinning confidently and took a small bow. She couldn't make out much of the audience in the dimly lit club but it looked a cool place , with tables and booths rather than theatre seating. She was confident that she would be drawing many admiring glances . The red silk dress she was wearing was quite something. A red collar supported two wide ribbons of fabric which plunged down barely covering centre of her breasts before meeting an equally slender waistband from which an ankle length panel was hung both front and rear, displaying a generous display of leg thigh and hip even if Lisa stood still. The dress was effectively backless and sideless and clearly demonstrated that no underwear had been included in the ensemble. Lisa loved it.
"Ladies and Gentlemen my first trick is a little twist on an old classic . It really needs three assistants but given the cost of the air tickets I actually only brought one.."
Lisa grumbled internally given her own method of transport
"So as the mathematicians among you will already have guessed, I need two more helpers. Any ladies out there feeling brave ? "
Matt looked out and found a small number of women had indeed raised their hands. Jumping easily off the stage he selected a slender blonde dressed in tightly fitted strappy black dress and heels and a taller girl with a curvier figure and dusky good looks set off by jet black hair and dressed more conservatively in a pencil skirt and blouse. To rapt applause Matt led his new assistants back onto the stage as stage hands wheeled three props out. Each comprised an upright wooden board a little larger than a door set on a raised wheeled platform. The new helpers eyes were immediately drawn to the rather ominous looking cuffs attached to each board.
"So. Some introductions. And you are ? "
Lisa watched the girls' faces intently as Matt went through is patter learning more about them and putting them at ease. The blonde, who turned out to be a marketing exec called Beth looked nervous while the taller girl seemed to be loving every moment as she explained she was called Karen and worked in hospitality. Once Matt had established that they were willing volunteers, had never met him or Lisa before and understood this was an adult only show he began the trick with barely a pause.
"Ok Beth, Karen, please come over here and check out these.... "
Lisa smiled and tried to look reassuring as the girls were invited to check out the three boards, confirming they were solid and that you could see underneath them and all round them.
"So if you are happy lets ask Lisa over so you can see how this works.."
Lisa walked over to the first platform and took the big step up as elegantly as she could in the insanely revealing dress. She shuffled back a little so her back was firmly against the board and under Matt's cheerful direction stood legs apart so that the new helpers could buckle soft leather straps bolted to the board tightly around her ankles. The stance meant her shapely legs were bare all the way to her waist thanks to the wide gaps in the sides of the dress. She reached up and out to the top corners of the board to allow her wrists to be secured in the same way leaving her spread wide and helpless.
Matt slowly turned Lisa's platform through 360 degrees allowing everyone a clear view all the way around, proving there was no ledge at the back and no odd flat black areas. Lisa watched the admiring eyes follow her as she was spun around, sure they were getting quite a view thanks to the minimal outfit and stretched out pose. She looked on helplessly as first Beth then Karen climbed nervously onto their own platforms and allowed Matt to secure them in the same way, anticipation building inside her. Matt completed his preparations by spreading the three platforms out wheeling them close to the front of the stage with a 5 metre gap between each bound girl.
"Now folks I am sure you are wondering what happens next . Especially Beth and Karen I suspect ..."
Without waiting for the chuckles to subside as the two bound girls nodded Matt clicked his fingers, triggering a bright flash like a firework in front of each girl. The intense white light left a wispy mist of smoke and is it cleared there was a moments silence followed by increasing applause from the audience as they realised what had happened. Lisa blinked her as vision cleared. For a split second she had no idea what Matt had done. She felt normal. All her limbs seemed present and correct. She glanced down and then sideways and the penny dropped. She was now clothed in the slim skirt and fitted blouse and high heels that Karen had been wearing. Beth next to her was wearing the exotic red dress she had come on stage in so she guessed Karen must be in Beth's dress.
"Thanks folks. What do you think of our girls' new looks ? "
Lisa smiled and nodded a little to acknowledge the applause. She couldnt actually remember last time she had worn so many clothes. Karen's underwear felt strange, being a size or two too big. From what she could see Beth looked a little less comfortable. The daring red dress was a little loose for the blonde's slender frame and she could sense her taking shallow breaths in an attempt not to provoke the front of the dress moving to expose any more than the generous area of cleavage already on view. Before Lisa could try and see if she could peer over as far as Karen there was another flash and more applause.
Glancing down confirmed the inevitable. She was now wearing Beth's little black number, which was quite short on her longer legs. The blonde's thong and bra both felt rather snug. The black dress must have border line obscene on the taller Karen. For her part Beth looked a little relieved to be in Karen's more demure outfit although it was really rather too big for her meaning the skirt looked like it could slide down without too much warning. Lisa had a feeling Karen meanwhile would be looking pretty good in the red dress, or more likely bursting out of it.
"Thank you , thank you. Don't the girls look great .... whatever the outfit ? Now this evening is of course a celebration of all things burlesque and vaudeville so it seems only natural we have to include a little bit of a strip tease ...."
As Matt finished his sentence the stage hands reappeared moving Beth and Karen's platform to each side of the stage angled a little to the centre while Lisa was moved back a little in the middle. Lisa could now see both girls clearly. Karen did look wonderful with the red dress barely containing her generous curves and both girls looked visibly relieved that Lisa was taking the lead given Matt's last comment.
A single flash obscured Lisa for a heartbeat, clearing to reveal that the black dress had vanished without trace leaving Lisa spread out against the board wearing only Beth's tiny black thong and matching lacey bra. Applause and appreciative whistles accompanied the reveal and Lisa grinned lapping up the attention. A second flash obscured Beth fleetingly and as the haze cleared left her wearing bright red lingerie that were clearly too large for her. By now all eyes snapped back to Karen, the dark haired volunteer's expression made it clear she was all too aware that if her dress followed the others she would have nothing left to hide behind.
Karen smiled nervously as Matt walked over to her. The audience fell silent .
"You look worried Karen".
"I . Er . Lisa's outfit seems to be lacking a few layers"
"Shall I ? " Matt asked looking Karen in the eyes ? He suspected she didn't know if she was scared or excited. He looked back to the audience and asked louder. "Shall I ? "
Lisa thought that Karen's shaking her head no was more theatrical than it was pleading. Even Beth looked a little more comfortable now she had had a taste of the audience's loud approval. The crowds enthusiastic yelling almost drowned out the next flash and bang when it came. As Lisa blinked away the blinding light once more and the wisps of smoke cleared she had to suppress a chuckle. Typical Matt. The red dress had indeed vanished, leaving Karen spread totally naked against her board. She looked stunning to Lisa's eyes. She tensed visibly as she squirmed trying hopelessly to move to preserve some modesty despite the cuffs holding her tight. The action caused her generous breasts to shake sexily adding to the show. Lisa's eyes were drawn to Beth who was equally naked her slender form barely moving as she seemed to hold her breath looking down at her exposed body unbeleivingly . A quick glance confirmed the inevitable , Lisa had of course been left nude too, though she thought the others were probably rather less used to it .
"Don't they look stunning ... Ladies and gentlemen the girls!"
"There's gonna be a short interlude while we hear a couple of classic songs from Miss Mystique and then I will be back with a little more magic.."
Matt was grinning broadly as he left the stage blowing a kiss to the sexy singer in her 40's pin up garb, the faces of his helpers as they realised they weren't being released was priceless.
