"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to help relaunch the new branch of the bank. Now I am hope you have enjoyed the lunch buffet and the show so far, but I know everyone's favourite part is the bit with the gorgeous assistant and the dangerous stuff, right? "
Matt smiled at the nods and laughs, knowing he was damned right . Smiling he walked over to a shiny safe door built into the wall at the back of the big banking hall.
"This looks cool ... is it hard to get into ?
The manager smiled with a geeky pride.
"Oh yes, it's brand new, thick steel walls and a lock they said at the training day is totally unpickable"
"Sounds cool, can we see inside ? " Matt smiled as the small audience of bank workers shuffled to see. The manager approached the waist high grey box on short legs, and fumbled with two keys and a combination. The heavy door swung slowly open and the manager yelped and almost fell over as he looked inside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, say hi to the lovely Lisa ...!
Lisa enjoyed the applause as she carefully unfolded herself out the space no larger than a washing machine. She carefully straightened her long legs shook herself theatrically and took a small bow whilst double checking her tiny emerald green bikini was still all where it should be. She suppressed a chuckle at the dumbfounded expression on the poor manager's face who was telling everyone that the safe had been locked for days.
"Now then before we finish the show with our big trick and let you get ready for your VIP opening evening the boss here did say it would be ok to ask for one of you guys to help out... Any volunteers ??
Lisa smiled looking about the room, trying to guess who might stick their hand up . She wasn't expecting the tall blonde to be the one. She was very pretty and looked to have a striking figure under her smart bank uniform but she had a serious expression that looked more business like than fun loving. By the time Matt had learned that the volunteers name was Robyn and had confirmed she was happy to help out with the rest of the activities Lisa had changed her mind. There was a naughty smile when checking out Lisa's barely there outfit plus a clear love of attention. She would do fine...
On cue, Lisa retrieved a heavy canvas sack from the side of the room then carefully showed it was solid and empty, before setting out flat on the floor. Being the pro that she was she bent over straight legged to make sure everyone got a wonderful view of just how small the back of the bikini really was. Smiling Lisa took the volunteers hand as Matt had her kick her low heels off and step into the sack.
"OK Folks as you can see the bag was quite empty, the floor is clearly not tricky, no trap doors, and yet ......"
Working together Lisa and Matt carefully pulled the sack up gradually covering the pretty volunteer up to her neck. Matt smiled pulled it the rest of the way up over Robyn's neck then dropped it a split second later. To huge applause the sack puddled empty to the floor. Lisa bent down once more and shook it to make sure it was quite empty.
As the applause died down Matt turned to the manager with a wry smile an a wink to the audience.
"Maybe you should check out that fancy safe again".
Red faced the manager fumbled to open the safe once more. Sure enough a flustered looking blonde was crammed into the small metal box. As soon as Lisa started to help her out it was immediately apparent that not only had the blonde reappeared in the safe, she had done so in a rather a different outfit, a tiny green bikini to match Lisa's with the Bank's logo on both bikini parts and the front of the thong. Of her previous outfit there was no sign.
By the time Robyn had composed herself and acknowledged the cheers Matt had wheeled the next prop in to the centre of the banking hall. Lisa watched with a grin as Robyn recognised the prop, wondering if she realised it wasn't as familiar as it may look at first glance. Anyone familiar with the magical classics would recognise a thin model sawing to the point Lisa wondered if they might not be a bit disappointed that Matt was using such an obvious trick. Anyone more used to watching magic would soon have realised that the box was a little smaller than usual suggesting a snug fit for the victim, but more importantly have realised that entire box , even the base, was made of glass, the only black parts being the spindly frame holding the glass box together. Lisa smiled when she realised each glass component had the Bank's logo etched in a frosted effect. Nice touch.
Matt gave the box a spin, pointing out that nothing would be hidden. The small audience of Robyn's co workers were watching much more intently now. Lisa took the blonde's hand and helped her step up and into the box. With a little coaching Robyn was soon laying down in the glass casket , another spin of the box proving that there wasn't a square inch of the volunteers rather magnificent body you couldn't see. Matt fitted an end panel to the box , two rubber lined cut outs fitting tightly over Robyn's ankles. Lisa stood at the head end of the box and carefully lowered her part of the box, this bit with three rubber cut lined cut outs for neck and wrists . She leaned over, knowing that her bikini top would be hovering over the trapped girl's face, as well as making sure the on lookers got the best view of her cleavage , to close her half of the glass lid. Matt grinned as he watched her then fitted a heavy padlock to the small catch on each end of the box . Making a joke about high security he handed the keys to the still flushed manager , suggesting he put them in the safe..
"OK folks hopefully you can see Robyn is really locked in the box, no tricks, no dummy legs, no false bottoms..... Good, then when we are ready for the fun bit!"
Smiling Lisa handed Matt the first metal divider, solid, shiny metal with a black handle at the top. The face of the blade was decorated with an engraved dollar sign. Matt took the blade, lined up the narrow gap in the glass box and with no further drama gave it a shove. Robyn yelped as the first blade shot through her.
"I fel....."
Before the volunteer could complete her sentence Matt shoved the second blade home. Lisa stepped foward to undo a catch on the side and a second later the two halves of the bank worker were separated by a yard or more .
"How do you feel Robyn? "
The blonde looked wide eyed at Lisa who smiled knowingly, then at Matt, then at her legs .
"I, thats. How ? "
Matt pushed the two halves of the trick, and of course Robyn, towards her co workers , so they could see close up that the bikini clad parts in the glass cases were living breathing and wriggling then moved on with the show barely pausing. The blonde gasped realising that the trick wasn't going to have its traditional ending, then flushed red as she was wheeled about and inspected from all angles.
Lisa smiled as she watched Matt wheel on the next trick. It was a simple upright box mounted on little legs so you could see clearly underneath it. It was decorated in a simple silvery finish with green trim and logos again. There were four squares marked out on the front, but Lisa couldn't see the gaps she would expect if this was to be a mismade variation. Giving a wink to the still divided volunteer Lisa strutted over to the box timing her arrival perfectly so she could turn slowly and wiggle back and in just as Matt opened the door.
As ever the box was a snug fit. As Matt explained what was going on Lisa slid her hands through holes in each side of the box and smiled confidently as Matt used a cuff on a chain to lock each in place on the outside of the box. She shuffled slightly and fed her feet through similar holes in base of the box and again looked totally unconcerned as they too were secured in place. The final part of the preparation was for Matt to close the front of the box, which in fact also incorporated the front part of the lid to the box. Once closed a last cut out fitted snugly around Lisa's slender neck.
"Now the fun part"
Matt pressed down lightly on the top of the box either side of Lisa's smiling head. Lightly, just with his finger tips. Apparently without effort he continued to push and the box began to shrink. Within a few moments the box was only 3/4 of the size it was before . Lisa smiled and wiggled her fingers and toes, guessing this was only the start. Sure enough Matt continued to push, his enigmatic smile not changing as the box got shorter and shorter. When he was done the box was just one quarter the original height, with just a single square on the front. Lisa smiled at the applause although she could tell people were slightly muted in their appreciation, probably wondering if it was just possible she had somehow folded her self up in the box despite her hands and feet being visible the whole time.
Lisa was a bit puzzled when Matt returned to her field of view pushing the top half of Robyn in her clear box. Without saying a word he lifted the shrunken box up and placed it on the clear case containing half his volunteer. It looked as if Lisa was a lot lighter than might be expected as Matt positioned her her on the prop without effort so the stubby legs of the trick were set on the top of the see through box, Lisa's feet barely touching it.
Lisa gave Robyn a conspiratorial wink as Matt fetched the next part of the trick
"So I know a lot of you are thinking clever trick but Lisa is some how folded up in there. Like she's double jointed or something. Am I right ? "
Without pausing for further explanation Matt picked up a square metal tube, lined it up with the square painted on the front of the box and shoved. Lisa gasped loudly as the metal slid into the box until it was visible from the back . Matt spun the helpless Robyn all the way around before tapping the front of the box inside the square. The time the gasps came from the audience as the square of wood toppled away. Matt flicked out the back an instant later leaving the box now a hollow cube, the margins of which were barely two inches thick. Although it was impossible for her to be hiding anywhere in the slender frame that remained Lisa was still smiling.
"That's all for now folks, Lisa and Robyn will be around later for your party........" With that Matt was gone, and the small audience filed away
"What does that mean exactly ..." asked the blonde nervously
"Honestly , I have no more idea than you do.."
"But you work for him"
"I know and I am always last to know, in ways you wouldn't believe"
Any further questions Robyn had in mind were cut short by the arrival of a couple of guys arriving pushing a trolley . What followed was amazing both in what actually happened, and due the calm confidence the gorgeous brunette displayed. First they moved Lisa still in her hollowed out box onto a clear plastic stand which left her about chest high. They lifted a heavy metal box onto the floor and set it between the legs of the stand, it seemed to lock into the floor somehow. The next move was to thread a small oblong tube up through the stand, forcing it somehow into the base of the box right between Lisa's legs. This step certainly did get a reaction, Robyn couldn't tell if it was pleasure or pain. The other end connected to the metal box .
When the next part arrived, Robyn thought she had started to guess what was going on, all be it she could not quite bring herself to believe it. The guys lifted a heavy something . A gadget made up of metal and glass, and containing lots of components and wires. It was a sort of L shape and the tall back of the gizmo was slotted into the gap in the middle of Lisa first.
Matt arrived with Robyn's boss.
"What do you think Robyn, We have a see through version of our latest ATM design, with its nice new touch pad and smaller form. And Lisa here makes a very striking holder for it !"
Robyn watched amazed as a card was fitted into a slot at the back of the machine partially fliing the void in the boxed girl, buttons pressed and a $10 note duly delivered.
"You ok "Robyn asked noticing the odd expression on Lisa's face.
"Lets just say when the press the buttons it kinda presses my buttons too... This VIP reception could be a long night" .
