cough
woah.
Yeah, but, you guys… this was at a comedy festival! The act is horribly over-the-top and not very impressive at all from a magic point of view. But the act was all about the shock. Nekkid lady!!!
Ok. I wasn’t sure if it was a comedy festival or magic festival. (I can’t read French :p) At a comedy festival that is much better, but still hollow. I was going to originally post that as a magician, she sucks, but as a showman (showperson?) she does shine. But even then, with all the dramatic looks, and the magic, and the music, and the shock value, it is still just shock value. She’s not a comedian either. Those people in the audience weren’t laughing, they were nervously tittering. Is she REALLY going to go all the way? In the end, she still just has the guts to strip naked on stage.
Her crazy hand waving while racking her body fore and aft kind of freaked me out. I give her props for having the balls- sorry, guts- to strip nekkid, but it was a bush league trick on par with a kids-birthday-party-quality magician, maybe worse. Every time she started the trick she had to turn her back to the audience and position the handkercheif just so, with her forefingers hidden behind it.
Not that I didn’t enjoy watching it, of course…
Shai’tan,
Jabberjaw was a completely different cartoon, not associated with the Pink Panther cartoons. It was a Scooby-Doo ripoff (with a Shaggy clone) and the shark for some reason talked just like Curly of the Three Stooges.
Correct. Mr. S (huge Clouseau fan) called it when I told him somebody wanted to know what the music was exactly.
(Whenever we see a gun peeking out from behind something in another movie or show, we always make that “duuuuuuuh-duhhhhhhhhh” foghorn noise from A Shot in the Dark.)

Okay I’ve been waiting and waiting for it to work, but I always get this:

Why can’t I see the nekkid chick? Er, I mean trick.
Make the nasty lady stop!
Sighhhh…
I live in a rural area with no high-speed yet. And from the descriptions I’m NOT watching this at work. Can someone give me the text version please?
Text version:
Woman walks on stage in a respectable looking suit jacket and skirt to James Bond/Pink Panther music. She doesn’t speak, but walks in rhythm and keeps bobbing to the music.
Presents a small red silk square from the pocket of the suit jacket. Holds her left hand in the “handjob” position, and stuffs the hanky into it. Poof! It disappears. She smirks, bobs to the music again, turns her back and removes her suit jacket, revealing a nice black bra covering disappointingly small breasts.
Turns back to the audience and “discovers” the red scarf in the waistband of her skirt. Pulls it out, disappears it, takes of the skirt, revealing a black g-string.
Does a couple o’ pelvic thrusts in time with the music. Smirks some more.
“Discovers” the scarf in her bra. Lather, rinse repeat. Now topless. More pelvic thrusts.
“Discovers” the scarf in the front of her panties. (Is she really gonna? Oh my god, yes, she is!) Off come the panties.
“Discovers” the scarf…well…in the vaginal area. Pulls it out, looking much like a tampon removal.
Walks off stage.
Really, the entertaining part is watching the audience become more and more uncomfortable. When her jacket comes off, they’re all "whoo-hooo"ing. By the end, “nervous titters” is being generous.
Interesting. What is the name of her act?
I think, also, that the name of shark in question was “Misterjaw”, and was voiced, at times, by Arte Johnson.
This trick reminded me of a stripper who used to do magic as part of her act when I was living in Orlando, FL. She said that she performed in Toronto under the name of “Paula Panda”, and she was a red-head. This was in the mid-1980s. Anyone ever see her, or know if she’s still performing?
When you get that message, try putting your cursor at the end of the address bar (with the address still in it) and pressing ENTER. That’s what worked for me.
Her name appears to be Ursula Martinez, and she’s with a performance group called La Cirque (not de Soleil). Argh, I’ve gotta get back to work or I’d post links. Anybody got time to kill?
You could go to her home page. It appears the name of the routine in the OP is called "‘Hanky Panky’.
Linky no worky. It loads, runs for about two seconds and freezes.
The act is banned in Texas.
(You might want to try some of the other, uh, backdoor entries into the clip as suggested throughout this thread…)
If you click the OP’s link, then the dailymotion server gets a referrer field saying “This person came from The Straight Dope”. Apparently they don’t want that. Whatever their business model, a popular clip could really fill their bandwidth if it spread across the web.
If you “Copy Link Location” (or copy the URL in any other way) and paste it in the location bar, then it counts as a manually entered URL and not a “link from a foreign site”. This is apparently okay with them. A url in an emailalso doesn’t count as a click from a foreign server, so you could just mail this page or part of it to yourself, if that’s something you are set up to (and know how to) do easily
THAT’S it. Misterjaw. BTW, I found a site with all of the Ant and the Aardvark cartoons.
