Day 3: Trick

The lights were low, and a single spotlight shone down onto the stage as the audience waited in silence. Soft footfalls announced the coming of the magician before he stepped into the small ring of light. He rested both hands on his cane and said in his best showman's voice, "Gentlemen, tonight you shall see the wonders of my latest magical development! Behold, my assistant."

A second spotlight flickered to life, revealing a comely red-haired woman on the stage behind him.

"Impressive enough on her own, is she not? But, much better is in store! You see, with a single incantation, I will reveal her full beauty to you, without her removing a single article of clothing!" He raised his cane high and said, in a clear voice, "Alkazam!"

At once, the spotlights died to a low glow and an image formed in the air above them both. It was clearly the assistant, but fully naked. She was seen from behind and bent slightly forward, her round buttocks on full display for the audience before she started to turn around, taking small steps in mid-air as she came around, reaching up to softly rub her nipples as her breasts came into full view. The audience gave a few cheers and claps, rising in volume as the image started to spread her legs apart.

Hidden up in the rafters, the third part of the act gave a soft sigh and wondered yet again if, after getting lost in Victorian England with nothing but a hologram projector, they couldn't have worked out a better way to save for the parts their time machine needed.
