Ursula Martinez

WARNING: PARENTAL ADVISORY

Now this is very clever! I'm not a big fan of magic but the video below is well worth looking at. If I ever see her appearing somewhere close enough I'll be sure to try to get tickets.

Oh, and it is in no way porn but Parental Advisory for sure on this one, as you might gather from the following description of this part of her act from her Website:

Hanky Panky is a five minute choreographed magic strip-tease. The act uses a simple disappearing handkerchief conjuring trick at its core.

Martinez enters stage fully clothed. She performs the trick and the hanky disappears. It reappears from her jacket pocket. The jacket is removed. The hanky disappears again and reappears from her skirt. The skirt is removed. During the course of the act, Martinez continues to make the handkerchief disappear and re-appear from her various items of clothing, which she then removes.

Finally Martinez is completely naked. Once again she performs the trick and the handkerchief disappears. With a grand finale flourish, Martinez retrieves the handkerchief from a truly magical place!
