"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome back on stage the incredibly lovely LISA !! " 

Lisa took a deep breath and strode back into the spotlight. Enjoying the warm welcome she bowed gently then struck a confident pose. The first part of the show had gone smoothly enough. During the interval she had slipped out of the halter top dress she had been wearing to reveal her costume for the big illusion this evening. Although costume was rather overstating things.  Lisa was in fact stood under the bright white lights wearing nothing but a dusting of gold and silver glitter between her legs and around her nipples. It covered very little and hid nothing. She loved it.

Trying to effect an air of casual confidence Lisa watched as Matt positioned the next prop. She wasn't really listening to his banter. The trick seemed to consist of nothing more than a frame about six foot square set vertically on a raised platform. It looked a bit like an empty picture frame seemingly only a couple of inches wide. All very simple looking, which somehow made it a little more ominous.

"OK folks the trick we are going to try tonight is a very precise operation and Lisa has never tried it before, so we need to make sure we get her in exactly the right position. Now as you can see we aren't hiding much of Lisa, but to make sure that there is no cheating I would like a couple of people from the audience to come up on stage and check what we are up to."

Moments later Matt had dragged up a pair of volunteers, a pretty petite blonde called Marie and a taller brunette who introduced herself as Kelly. Lisa smiled at the the girls who both looked up for some fun dressed casually in jeans and tops. It was always amusing to try and guess the reaction to people who got roped into the show, not to mention the extent to which Matt would involve them.

Lisa smiled happily following directions from Matt as gracefully as she could trying not to be too distracted by the very hot volunteers he had picked. So without having paid all that much attention to Matt's patter Lisa soon found herself stood in the empty frame. Her heels were positioned shoulder width apart on the base,, he arms held out at right angles fingertips just touching the sides of the frame, while the top brushed her hair.

"Ladies and gentlemen for this trick it really is critical that Lisa doesn't move. Now one fun way of doing this is to tie Lisa up or lock her up. However this does mean we end up restricting the view of her shapely charms, and in this case as will become clear it actually isn't ever so practical. So I am gonna put a little hex on Lisa so that she cant move at all. Now I know this sounds a bit hokey but first off Lisa has no idea whats going to happen next, and secondly Marie and Kelly here are going to help prove that there's no shannigans and what you see happening is whats happening ..."

"Lisa when I click my fingers you will find that you are frozen in your current pose. You will be unable to move a muscle except for to be able to blink your eyes. One blink for yes, two for no. OK ? " 

"Er I guess ? "

Lisa wriggled a little and tried to make sure her pose was bang on. She was a bit puzzled but that was nothing new. Matt clicked his fingers a second later and Lisa felt a shiver then a tingle then as expected found she couldnt move an inch. her arms and legs were frozen in place and face was locked in her best attempt at a sultry smile.

"Kelly, Marie, you guys are on. Come on over, thats right now, please check Lisa is still there real living and breathing but frozen in place. Thats right give her a feel. A tweak. Come on ladies, you can think of something that you know would make her move a bit …"

Lisa was going wild. The feeling of being frozen like this was quite different to the sensation of the mannequin transformation with which she was all too familiar. There was no dampening of her sensations. She could feel every nip pinch and tweak. And yet she couldn't move a muscle. She wanted to moan, maybe writhe a little, clench a fist, bite a lip. But she couldn't . Matt's volunteers sure weren't shy. Fingers rubbed Lisa's thighs, pinched her butt, twisted her nipples and tweaked her nose all in the cause of causing a reaction.

"Lisa can you hear me ok ?  One blink thats yes. Good. These girls are something aren't they ? Another single blink, another yes".

The audience were silent , watching Lisa's predicament unfold with rapt attention.

"So ladies are you happy that Lisa is real and we haven't swapped her out for a dummy or something ? " 

As the girls agreed Lisa couldn't help but see the irony given the amount of time she spent transformed into a mannequin herself.

"So now to reveal the point of all this . Folks I am sure you have all seen a magician cut a beautiful girl in half. Infact you probably have all seen it dozens of times and know exactly how its done . So you might be a bit disappointed if I tell you tonight I shall be sawing Lisa in half. "

Lisa was racking her brain. She had been sawed in half more times than she could remember. Variations on a thin box effect, variations on the modern upright trick and even sawed vertically up between the legs.

Before Lisa could run through any other possibilities she heard a collective gasp. Frozen as she was she had no way of seeing what had caused the audience reaction. 

"Ladies and gentlemen tonight I am gonna cut Lisa in half in a whole new way "

As Matt talked a large square sheet of dull metal was lowered from the lighting gantry high above the stage. It didn't take any imagination at all to see it was the size of the frame Lisa was posed in. 

The blade was lowered behind LIsa initially and Matt had his volunteers confirm it was solid and sharp. 

On cue it was raised once more and Matt moved Lisa back a couple of feet and with a little patience had the whole apparatus lined up right below the huge blade. Lisa still unable to see what on earth was going was starting to suspect. The total inability to move was proving to be frustrating in more ways than one.

"Kelly, your call, do you think the slicing part of this trick should go quick, slow or extra slow?"

Kelly smiled and without hesitation answered "Extra slow, I have no idea what that means but I am sure if its worth doing its worth not hurrying"

"You got it"

Lisa could hear the pause then a gasp and then she could feel intense pressure across the centre of her head. Hells teeth was Matt really gonna cut her in half that way ? 

The audience were silent as the heavy plate began its descent . Thanks to Kelly's call it didn't fall with a thud or even glide downwards. Instead it could be seen to sink slowly down the frame and into Lisa across the top of her head. Thirty seconds passed and the blade was still not down to Lisa's ears.

Lisa had never felt a blade like it. Usually she felt a pinch and a tear as a magical blade was pushed against her and began its cut. That bit was painful. But it lasted a fraction of a second and was replaced with a warm sensual feeling as her flesh parted like soft butter. 

This was quite different, maybe because of the slow pace of the incision. This time she could actually feel the blade's path and feel her flesh yield inch by inch. The familiar intense arousal was this time building slowly. Barely a playful tease at the moment but she could feel the familiar stirring already.

"Now folks as you can see its gonna take a couple of moments to complete the division of my gorgeous assistant. So as we have two more lovely ladies up here on stage why don't we can see if we can persuade them to try a little trick to pass the time? "

Lisa had not really been listening as she felt the blade sink slowly through her head passing just in front of her ears and behind her jaw. The laughs and cheers from the audience caught her attention just in time to see as stage hand wheel another prop on stage in front of the two rather nervous looking volunteers. 

"Don't worry, no slicing involved, promise. "

The divider was part way down Lisa's neck by the time she had decided she didn't recognise the new prop. It seemed to consist of nothing more than a board mounted uprigth on a wheeled base. Though she did notice some hooks or something screwed into it. Then she lost all ability to thing straight. The blade had sunk as low as her shoulders, arms and hands and the impact of the penetration over such a large area would have knocked her over in a wave of ecstasy if she could move.

"Now Kelly I have a bit of a personal question to ask for you ..."

"Er ok " The brunette smiled nervously.

"Have you ever been tied up ? "

The brunette blushed and hesitated just long enough to make the audience laugh at her discomfort

"I will take that as a yes! In public ? "

"No of course not !"

"Well then tonight could be a first" Matt grinned and led the startled looking volunteer to the trick. It was the work of moments to guide her into standing with her back against the board, feet slightly apart and hands by her sides a few inches from her hips. As Lisa recovered her faculties for a few moments she realised that the hooks she had spotted formed a kind of outline around the nervous girl.

"Now Marie, can you grab those ropes please.." 

Kelly looked too surprised to object as Matt and her friend tied one end of each of their ropes to the bottom most hook and then under Matts simple directions began zig zagging the rope up Kelly's long legs pulling each bit tight so it clearly bit into the trapped girls jeans. Once they had reached Kelly's waist they doubled their way up the brunettes torso, pulling tightly still so that her shapely figure was clearly revealed despite her loose top, finally tying the ends of at her neck. 

Lisa moaned silently again. That Kelly looked hot as she was rendered increasingly helpless and the slow creep of the massive blade had reached about the level of her chest, which had set of another crescendo of pleasure. It was clear that Matt had made the most of her being frozen for this trick to tease her mercilessly. She was bursting to bite her lip, to cry out to do something, but the frustration just kept building. As she tried to focus on Kellys plight once more she saw that Matt and Marie were using smaller lengths of rope to work down  each arm in a similar zigzag . Within the 2 or so minutes the blade had taken to sink to her waist the brunette had been tied very tightly indeed to the board. 

"Thanks for your help Marie. Now we can have a little fun with Kelly here. Ready Kelly  ? "

"I . Er. " 

"Kelly can you think of any way you can get out of there on your own ? " 

"No I am pretty much trussed up, very tightly . "

"Good good."

Before Kelly could indicate whether she thought it was good or not Matt produced a large black sheet which he waved in a theatrical almost matador like fashion in front of the heavily trussed brunette. A second later he allowed it to fall to the floor. It took Lisa a further second to register what had happened to generate loud applause and wolf whistles, he attention diverted by the blade having reached the level of her hips. Kelly was still tied tightly in place but her jeans and top had somehow vanished  leaving her in just a blue thong and matching lace bra plus her high heels. She looked flushed, probably with embarrassment while her friend was clearly looking relieved that it wasn't her up there.  

Without any further explanation Matt took up the black cloth again and waved it once more. Lisa could see many of the audience lean forward waiting for the inevitable reveal, in all senses of the word. As the cloth settled once more it in fact revealed the board was now empty bar some hanging rope. Lisa looked again and realised that in fact the blue underwear and shoes were also still there !

Marie looked stunned, clearly having no idea how the trick was done, where her friend had gone or what she was now wearing.

"You look impressed Marie?" Matt chucked. 

"How? Where did she go ? And you stripped her ! "

"I know ! " Matt grinned. " Now lets see how Lisa is getting on. "

Lisa was pleased to be back as the centre of attention. The blade was now down to her ankles and by the time Matt had had Maria check a few parts were still real she felt it reacj her heal and finally stop its slow erotic journey.

"So Maria, I know you are a bit skeptical, do you think Lisa here is really divided into two ? " 

"Well no, I mean it's impossible isn't it, but then so is what happened to Kelly ..."

Matt smiled and walked to one side of Lisa. He fumbled with something by her left hand and smiled winningly, then walked behind the framed beauty. As he re appeared on the other side it was immediately obvious what had happened. The great divider must have been two and he had opened Lisa like a book being opened from behind, so the back of her left hand started just an inch from where the front finished, her naked back displayed on a steel plate along side her barely covered front. Without pausing to acknowledge the stunned reaction Matt then turned the divided girl side ways on , one way then the other, making it clear the metal plates were razor thin and there was nothing behind.

Finally he split the other side of the frame too and pulled the two halves of Lisa apart, meaning she could finally see her ponytail, back butt and the backs of her legs across the stage. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen.... LISA !! ! !! !  ! ! "





                                                                         *****                            *****                    *****


Lisa grimaced inside as the cool air wafted between her bare legs. After the show her two halves had been wheeled into the nightclub below the theatre. She couldn't say she was surprised she was rarely restored straightforwardly any more and besides she had to admit she was a hell of a sight. She found herself being displayed so helplessly and impossibly massively exciting and she hoped everyone else did too. What had surprised her more was having her two halves mounted onto panels of the old fashioned revolving door that led into the foyer of the night club leaving her both on display to people inside and out depending on where the door was left and also eminently grope-able to the establishments patrons.




                                                                        *****                                *****             ********

"Say what happened to my friend ?"

Matt broke his gaze away from his wonderful assistant and saw Maria looking concerned.

"Don't worry she's fine"

"But where is she ? She vanished and so did her clothes !"

"Lets get her for you shall we ? " Matt smiled knowingly.

Placing his beer back on the bar he led the concerned looking blonde through a door marked staff only to a concrete lined corridor totally at odds with the glamour of the night club on its other side.

"You know i got the feeling you rather liked tying your friend up"

Maria  blushed and stammered. "I . Well we. I mean .

"Does she know ? "

"Er I . No . I mean maybe" 

"Hmm"

Matt reached behind Maria and pulled out a box which wasn't there a second a go. Setting it on the floor he began to pass the confused blonde a variety of items.

"Don't look so suprised, I know you know what they are, and I know what you thought about doing with them and Kelly".

"I er I , how I mean"

"You just watched me slice my assistant and open her like a book and you are amazed I can sense a little sexual tension ? " 

Maria looked at the bundle she was amassing. She put them down on the side. Cuffs, ball gag, collar, metal straps and belts. Her heart was pounding. 

"It's ok I think you might be surprised what she is thinking too...Trust me."

Matt smiled enigmatically and produced his black cloth. Maria stepped back nervously but Matt flourished beside him and there was a soft pop and a flash. When Maria could see again the heap of toys had gone. More amazingly there was a cage behind Matt. Maybe 6ft tall and 2ft wide and deep. It was mounted on wheels and appeared very heavy and solid. That was amazing enough. What was more amazing was inside the cage was a brunette... a securely bound brunette.

Maria gasped and tried to take in the details. Sure enough it was Kelly though it was hard to tell at first. Her ankles were locked in shiny metal cuffs which were in turn locked to the sides of the cage holding her long legs open. Around her waist was a belt, shiny metal and very tight. A hoop ran from the front of the belt down between Kellys legs and back up to the back of her waist. Maria flushed more recognising the belt from her internet favourites which meant she knew it was locked in place. A pair of metal cups covered the bound brunettes generous breasts held in place by some heavy chain. Cuffs round her wrists locked her hands to the roof of the cage. The ensemble was completed by a big red ball gag held in place with a web of straps over and around her face. Maria was speachless. It was like a fantasy had beamed up in front of her. Kellys eyes were wide, in shock , was it terror, or was it something else... 

Matt broke the silence, handing Maria a set of keys

"You will be wanting these, well some of them at least. Push her along this corridor the loading bay and you will find a van waiting to take you both home. Don't worry no one will see you". 


"Well not many people, probably.  Enjoy"

Matt leant back in his office chair and looked behind him into the quiet warehouse. Getting the drawings right for the new trick was a real headache and he had had enough at staring at a screen. He smiled as he looked at his desk though. A metal surface on trestle legs it was decorated with the front half of the wonderful Lisa spread on it. The monitor for his mac was perched over Lisa's neck partly blocking the view of her pretty face. The only change since they had left the club was a couple of small cables which sprouted from the corner of Lisa's smiling mouth. One led to the back of the monitor the other to the keyboard alongside her ribs. Thinking that was enough for one night he reached over to cup his helpless assistants left breast lightly in his hand..

"I really must get a new mouse so I can put her back together..." he said to himself as he guided the icon on the screen to the save button..." but I just know the lingerie store will be reluctant to give up the new door to the changing room ......"
