Now this is one hell of a magic act…however: WARNING! 100% NOT WORK SAFE, and you might even want to consider who is in the house that might walk by while you are watching this! Seriously.

I’m glad it was her doing that trick rather than say, Penn Gilette. ---

Apologies…I can’t seem to get the damned link to work again(it seems to have disappeared, which is, I guess, one hell of a magic trick after all!) It was of a woman doing a trick with a disappearing handkerchief, and stripping to fully nude on stage at the end of her act (in a Montreal magic show). Quite entertaining, but unless I can figure out a way to get the link to work - you will have to take my word for it. (If anyone can figure out how to link to this short video, please post that trick!) Sorry for the build up and disappointment… ---

[QUOTE=Struan] I’m glad it was her doing that trick rather than say, Penn Gilette. [/QUOTE] It worked for you?! Great! And yes, the same trick by Penn would be bad…speaking of which, I have to use that line when I respond to the woman who sent it to me…my neighbors are professional magicians. They sent me the link and they are good friends with most of the magicians here in Las Vegas. ---

How odd! The way I got it work was to just highlight the first line of the link in your second post and drag down to the second line and let Firefox catch the part of the URL that goes over the edge of the board. ---

It worked for me, but I had to wait a few minutes for the video to load. It may seem like the browser isn’t doing anything, but it is. ---

Cute, but then . . . Ew. Even if she did really only have it stuffed in her ass crack, I didn’t need the mental image of where we’re supposed to THINK she put it. And now I can’t get that music out of my head. ---

Trust me, she had her rag in the slag, not the crag. Very cool video, I loved the self confidence, the cheesy music, the strut, and I’m still like “HOW DID SHE DO IT!?!” I love how she takes that “simple little magic trick” and gives it a whole bunch of torque. ---

That was great! I sent the link to my boss. I can hear him in his office laughing. Honey - Lucky to work in a place where I can send a link like that to my boss. ---

Sounded like music from the Pink Panther movies . . . if it’s not part of the theme, then some other part of the soundtrack. Very Manciniesque. ---

Holy crap, that was so funny! I think the best part was the reaction of the people in the audience. 😃 ---

That was wonderful. Definitely took place at the Montreal Comedy Festival. I wonder if tourist numbers would increase if they started sending this out as advertising? ---
