"Well Mia it seems my ladies are a little..... indisposed. Maybe you would like to help out for a while instead ?  " 

Mia glanced back across the theatre where she could see two of he muscle bound stage hands wheeling the rack with the remaining parts of Sophie and Jordana out of the back doors. She looked at Brad nervously.

"I. Well, you are gonna do something mean to me aren't you ? " 

"Not at all. In fact I was hoping you would help me find a volunteer in the audience who want to be in a trick. "

"Ok, sure I guess that doesn't sound too bad... " 

"Indeed... so I need a lovely lady from the audience Mia. All you have to do is chose !"

Mia smiled and nodded and looked out into the dim theatre. There were maybe thirty or forty hands raised. Mia wondered for a moment if she was missing out but settled on three ladies, dropping off the stage to go fetch them back to the spotlight.

"Great stuff Mia, so, who do we have ??? "  

"Erm so we have Summer  ..."

"Thanks for helping Summer ! Hope you have fun. "

"Ok now Brad if you look on the table you will see a deck of cards ... can you shuffle it then have Summer pick one. But make sure I don't see ok ? "

Lisa walked to the very front of the stage to make sure that everyone could see that everything that was happening was behind her. Summer was a good choice she felt. Tall and blonde with a curvy figure which her tight tee shirt and shorts did little to hide. 

"So Brad, Mia, you know I had no influence over who you chose, and Summer you picked a card freely from a normal pack and I haven't seen it, but Brad has... yes ? " 

All three helpers nodded and mumbled in agreement. 

"Great, lets do this .... keep that card hidden guys .."

On cue the stage hands wheeled out the next trick . It looked a bit like a wardrobe mounted on wheels except that three of the sides were made of curtains. 

"OK Summer, now inside the changing booth you will find a a selection of bikinis and swimsuits. I would like you to climb in and pick one and change into it. The rest you can put in the bag and pass outside along with your own clothes."

Summer looked at Lisa wide eyed for a moment then shrugged and climbed into the booth closing the curtain. There were some shakes and billows of the curtains then she passed a basket out to Mia, showing only her arm. Then she passed out her shoes, shorts, tee shirt,, then a white bra and panties. Mia added them to the basket and had a peek behind the curtain when Lisa asked. 

"OK so we are nearly ready for Summer's make over. Summer are you ready? " 

"I think so" Summer replied, sounding confused. 

"Mia you know which outfit Summer chose, but didn't see the card ... Brad you saw the card but have no idea what Summer decided to wear. Yeah ? " 

The volunteers nodded looking a little bemused too. 

Two stage hands walked on with what looked like a sheet of wood and lined it up with one side of the changing booth. 

"Now Brad and Mia all you have to do is push... "

Mia looked at Lisa blankly . Brad thought for a moment then nodded and pushed. As he did the panel moved towards the solid side of the booth, taking the curtains with it. Once the space was less than a third its original width Lisa asked Summer to wave if she was ok. A bare arm waved out the curtain. Mia and Brad gave a final shove and the sliding panel met the back of the booth. 

"OK lets see what you guys have done ! "

Lisa approached the trick for the first time. 

"Ok you can let go of the panel let it drop." 

Brad and Mia stepped back and the panel they had been pushing fell forward . With the curtains pushed back by the shoving everyone could see the inside of the remaining wall. On it was an oversize playing card. The Jack of Diamonds, with a red J in each corner. The card was decorated with a life size picture of Summer wearing a tiny red bikini in a classic pin up pose, one hand behind her head, the other on her hips. 

The stage hands removed the card, showing it was just fractions of an inch thick. 

"Brad is that Summer's card? " 

"It.. it is .. " 

"Mia is that Summer's choice of bikini ? " 

"It , yes , it is" 

"And look closely now, could it be that really is Summer ? " 

Brad and Mia peered closely at the card. The picture was insanely realistic, you could see every hair and pore. 

"It, its amazing, it does look as if ... is it ? .. " Mia babbled as she ran her hand over the image, detecting no join 

Lisa took a bow as the stage hands fitted the card into a frame. 

Summer's friends will be able to see her later and check it's really her ...
