Description
“I think you are satisfied with my show for now.” the magician on the stage announces so, as if the grand illusion of today will end in minutes, while the curtain drops on the stage indicates the otherwise.

“As you can see, my shows are not elegant ones. They are full of fire, dancing beauties, even a tiger in the cage. I won’t mind if you call me a vulgar magician.” The magician seems to mock himself, but obviously the audience would not regard him as some third-rate performers, for his shows surely know how to excite people.

“Then would someone tell me what lacks in my show?” he asks “We have impalement, interlude, origami, levitation. Every kind of illusion you can come up with in a night like this. So, what’s left?”

“Sawing in half!” someone shouts loud.

“Good point, sir.” The magician points to where the sound come from “It sure is weird something like that would miss tonight. The reason is that I want to make it the grand finale. And by imitating one artist I admire, I want to make it a double sawing. What is different is that, I would do it in another, how to say, direction.”

The audience seem to regain their attention, even after tons of fascinating shows which would tire the pickiest ones’ concentration. However, knowing they would finally get what they want and it would be a grand one, everyone refreshes themselves.

“Well, first let’s welcome our assistants.”

The magician signals and three people come onto the stage. Two young beauties in glittering leotards in different colors. One in red and the other is in blue. The top of the clothes challenges the limit, with just one centimeter shorter one can see the tiny humps under them directly. They show the cleavages and the upper parts of the beauties’ charming chubby melons arousingly. The lower parts of the pieces also just cover the necessary areas, exposing the whole curvaceous legs. The backs and half of the hips can be seen clearly from some angles. Even in an illusion show like this, these suits are still way too “frugal”. The heels on the beauties’ feet glitter under the lights.

Unlike their suits, the beauties seem a little embarrassed and a little clumsy in behaving like assistants. They both have attracting looking and smooth shoulder-length hair. Their gorgeous bodies are almost in the same height. You can’t tell the difference between them. Obviously, they are twins.

The third person is some random handsome guy who is the same age of the twins in normal wears. The audiences are wondering what kind of role would he be in the show.

“Please give our volunteers warm applaud first” the magician says so when the three come to the center of the stage and the audience responses willingly “You may notice that I just said ‘volunteers’, because they are not professional performers. They requested me to help them with my illusion skills and I think it is a good chance we make it a show for all of you to enjoy.”

This may explain why the twins are acting like amateurs.

“Then, what is their request?” the magician continues “First allow me to introduce something to you. There is a show I like most by Barry and Stuart. In the show, they sliced a girl into two because her parents divorced and the only thing they hadn’t decided the right of attribution was their daughter. By slicing her into two, the parents can get one part each.” Describes the magician while smiling, trying to infect the audience with his joyfulness towards that show.

“However, our volunteers requested the other way around.” The magician then points at the man “This man sure is something, because he made the twins fall in love with one man. Dude, just how lucky will you be?” jokes the magician.

“It is not just luck, Ok?” response the man with confidence smile.

The audience murmurs, talking about how the show will envelope.

“He may look dissolute, but he is a quite disciplined man. Unfortunately, under current laws, one man can only marry one woman. It is unfair for the left one, so they request me to combine the twins into one!”

Now the audience become a little uproarious, for they never think of something like that. Even those who came up with this idea would still not believe it will actually happen.

“What is next is how to achieve it.” Ignoring the sound from below the stage, the magician continues, with the sound die down itself gradually “Sawing in half and combining the halves. Two halves equal one, quite simple, isn’t it?”

Surely the answer is simple, but more of crazy. However, the magician has more to give.

“Remember what I have said? I want to make my sawing in a different direction. If we just combine the upper part of the older sister and the lower part of younger sister, how does it supposed to be called combining two people into one? It will be just some normal double-sawing illusion.” The magician grins proudly, knowing well the audience’s admiration would come out with the right answer at the same time.

“Right! I will saw our beauties into halves vertically!” the magician signals and the curtain rises gradually “The new person I assemble will have both the younger and older sister’s half brain. That is also why I choose suits in different colors for them. They will prove my skill is genuine”

When he finishes his words, the curtain rises to the top, revealing the equipment for the show. Two giant buzzsaws attached to the metal frame are shown side by side, with the audience’s gasp being their on stage bgm.

“No need to worry, this not some horror illusion show, even our volunteers are still calm.” The magician tries to ease the audience and then turns to the volunteers “Then, dears, are you ready for the reborn?”

“Of course, but would you please saw me into two first?” says one of the twins “I am not sure whether my little sister is ready for this. What is more, in fact, I enjoy fascinating being part of the illusion show and always dream of being sawn in half. I want my boyfriend and my sister witness me being sawn. It will be impossible if we are sawn at the same time. There are two buzzsaws, aren’t there?” Obviously, the one in red leotard is the older sister.

“Oh, come on, we are twins. How much difference can there be?” responses the younger sister in blue “I also want to be seen sawn in half. However, seeing my twin sister sawn also interests me a lot. It is just like watching myself being sawn. So, is there any chance that I can see my sister being sawn while I am being done the same thing at the same time?”

“That is my sister. You are even one step further than me. I didn’t even imagine that way.”

The twins surely surprise the audiences. They are not only willing to take part in the dangerous performance but also taking it as a kind of entertainment. But if you think it twice, no one in their right mind would ask a magician to join themselves into one. Now the hard nut is left for the magician to crack. How does he fulfill the requirement?

“Greedy girls!” sighs the magician in an obviously dramatic way “How can I turn down a request which will excite everyone here?” his face relights like the sigh before never happened “Bring on the mirrors and down the screens!”

With his snap, two screens are lowered onto the both ends of the stage, which block no one’s sight from the audiences. Then two pieces of large glass are brought onto the stage too. They park by the side of the screens, making two thin walls joint by two different parts. The “walls” stand between the audiences and the ones on the stage.

“Can you see clearly through the glasses? I don’t want anyone says that I am trying to hide something from you.” asks the magician.

“Yeah.” response from the audience scatteredly.

“What do you see then, girls?”

“I can not see through a mirror. So I can only see ourselves.” answers the older sister.

“Does anyone know what she said mean?” asks the magician and give everyone a few seconds to think about it “Right, these are one-way mirrors. You can see through them and catch everything happens on the stage, while our girls can watch carefully how they are sliced into two.”

The audiences surely admire the magician’s idea.

“As to the screens beside the mirrors, they will broadcast the show live.”

The crowd begin murmuring again, wondering the necessity of the screens, while some seem to come up with the answer.

“The girls want to see themselves sliced as well as their sister. So the screens are the ones which are able to broadcast from both side. Which means in the screens, how their sisters are sliced are what they can see. The older witness the younger sliced, the younger witness the older sliced. And all of you can see four beauties sliced. Everyone happy now?”

The magician is surely well-prepared. By the design, the volunteers can see how themselves and their sisters sliced at the same time, even without the need of turning their heads aside. While the audiences can see the twins sliced all the time.

“Now it is time to get our girls in position.”

Signals the magician and stagehands bring on two wheeled large standing wooden boards. In the middle of every board there is an obvious slot, which is wide enough for the buzzsaw to pass. On the upper parts and lower parts of every board there are two cuffs for the volunteers’ wrists and ankles. Above the wheels, a horizontal narrow board is attached to the main board for them to stand on. There are also two pairs of semi-circle metal frames open wide on each side of the slot on every board. The upper ones are larger and lower ones are smaller. They are at the height of a man’s neck and head.

“Since we are doing something more than just illusion, we must make sure the work is accurate enough.” The magician approaches the boards and points at the frames “These will help us secure the right position of our girls’ heads and necks, make sure they are sliced from the right middle.”

After he finishes his explanation, the stagehands wheel the boards to the position right under the buzzsaws. There are slots that help to secure the wheels on the floor.

“Finally we have come to the point of no return. Are you really ready, girls?” the magician asks in a serious tone, as if being a physician ready to operate on someone.

The twins nod at the same time. Even they would feel nervous at a time like this.

“Then get to your positions, our boys will help you.” orders the magician.

The twins walk to the boards and stand on the narrow board facing the audiences. They stretch their arms and legs towards the cuffs and the stagehands lock their wrists and ankles dexterously. After their limbs are secured, the stagehands snap the semi-circle frames together. Now the scene looks a little creepy.

“Let me finish the final step.” The magician approaches the older sister first and begin to make gestures before her eyes “With my hypnosis spells, you will react to nothing, especially to pain. You will not even be able to move a finger while under the spell. But you will still remain conscious, which means you will witness every second of you and your sister being sawn as your final sight.”

After finishing his spell, the eyes of the older sister look dull. Without confirming her status, the magician walks towards the younger sister and repeat the same work.

“The spell will be removed automatically after you are completely sawn in half. Then you will faint for some time. And the next time you regain your consciousness, you will become one.” Explains the magician while hypnotizing the younger sister.

With the final gesture, the younger sister is hypnotized too. The magician then approaches the young man and hands him something.

“With this switch, you can turn the buzzsaws on and starts our show. Will you raise it high and press it before all of our eyes?” says the magician.

The young man takes the switch and raise it high with the arm trembling slightly. It is normal for someone to be nervous and say nothing but obey the orders at the time like this.

With the sound of machine, the buzzsaws come into lives in a rather high speed but drops slowly. The screens beside the one-way mirrors show the images of the twins at the same time. The whole theatre is in dead silence now, the audiences are even holding their breath unconsciously.

Even the buzzsaws drops slowly, but with the short distance between the teeth of them and the twins’ head, they reach the destinations quite quickly.

“Chiiiiii……..” with the sound that is hard to describe, the teeth of the blades bite into the twins’ flesh from above. The twins, with the dull expression on their faces, just take in the buzzsaws peacefully and don’t give out any reaction.

From different angles, audiences and see different views of the twins getting sliced, while all of them are very sure that the teeth indeed cut into their heads and ready to go down to separate the rest parts.

The buzzsaws are large enough to expose some part of them out of the twins' bodies. There is no blood or any other body issues on them. The magician keeps his promise not to make the show horrible.

The buzzsaws progressing slowly, neatly and smoothly in the twins bodies. It gradually slices between the twins’ eyebrows, their noses, lips and chins perfectly. They must be very sharp to cut the hard bones without any obstacles.

Then they enter the body parts. First, they slice the twins slender necks. Then they process and cut between the collarbones. Coming next is the most teasing part. The magician’s calculation was so perfect that the buzzsaws just slice between the cleavages! They also slice the leotards, but the leotards don’t slide down or fall aside. The buzzsaws don’t stop for even half a second and continues their vicious task. Finally, they reach the twins’ private parts.

All the process of the twins being sliced are seen from through the mirrors, from the screens by all the audiences all the time. Some male audiences even feel distressed because they feel that they need more eyes to catch every second of the show. The twins are both beauties with gorgeous suits in different colors and in a tremendous illusion. Just focusing on one of them will miss the wonderful sight of the other. While if you look at both them at the same time, you will feel too distracted to catch every fabulous scene of one of them.

With the bottom of the buzzsaws poking out the twins’ bodies from below, they gradually stop, leaving the whole blade in the flesh. The size of the blades must be well-calculated too. Some part can still be seen above the heads. After the blades stop, the heads of the twins drop, but the metal frames limit the distance they could fall forward. The audiences remember that the magician said the spell would be removed after the twins are sliced completely. So they are now “fainting” or something like that. The still open eyes of them make the scene a little scary. However, the magician doesn’t seem to continue his show for now, because he does not give any order of raising the buzzsaws.

The whole theatre is still in dead silence now. The audiences are too over-surprised to remember to applaud.

“Would someone come up and check our beauties?” the magician breaks the quietness with the idea that is quite normal in a show like this. However, all the audiences are still in some kind of impact now that no one dares to do so even they are more than willing.

“Good, gentlemen and ladies, just come up on the stage.” Some regain their courage or curiosity and rise from their seats. They may not realize that they are walking awkwardly.

“Maybe our gentleman would not allow you to touch his girl, but you can still touch the blades and have a close look.” reminded by the magician, the man being dumbstruck after the buzzsaws stopped finally become sober again and approaches to the sliced twins to join the audiences.

All of them check the sliced twins carefully. They see clearly how the shiny blades reflect the image of halves of twins’ bodies and how tightly the flesh attached to the blades. Though the magician reminds them not to touch the twins, no one on the stage would dare to touch from the first place. The boldest one of them reaches to the blade. The second he touches it, he pulls his arm back like touching a piece of burning hot iron. He surely does his best.

“This may help you to have a further accurate check.” The magician takes a small hammer from a stagehand and hands it to the bold man.

The man strikes the blade with the hammer with the shaking hand, as if the hammer would drop on his feet the next moment. The clear and sharp sound heard around the theatre proves the genuineness of the blade without any doubt.

This sound also triggers the admiration of all people, they begin to applaud and cheer without prior consultation after the sound goes mute immediately. The audiences on the stage return to their seats in this grand occasion.

After some time, the magician signals to let the applaud die down, for there is more work to be done.

“Now we have finished the first step, we got the material.” Says magician while taking the switch back from the man “Next we need to assemble them.”

By pressing another switch, the buzzsaws begin to rise with out rotating. Their rising process goes smoothly without the twins’ bodies moving even an inch. Finally, they return to their previous position. The twins are still “standing” there, nothing seems ever happened if there is no tiny but obvious cuts in the middle lines of their bodies.

“Now boys, get to work.” Orders the magician and the stagehands begin their work. Some unlock the wheels secured on the ground and others hold the boards, ready to separate them.

“Though I said there is no horror part, the cuts of the human bodies are still not a pleasant sight for all of us to see. So, we will leave it to the back of our stage.”

Knowing well what the magician means, the stagehands starts to push the boards. The two in one group pushes the board in his own hands towards his partner, making the cuts of the flesh facing the back of the stage. No one, even the stagehands can not see what it is like.

Now on the stages there are four boards with twins’ body parts attached to them. The stagehands continue their task without further orders. They wheel and exchanges the body parts of the twins. They place the halves of the twins in pairs, making them facing each other. Now the audiences can see two pairs of half bodies “watching” each other. Then the stagehands wheel the boards 90 degrees clockwise and anticlockwise. Like an opening book, the parts of the twins join together firmly, making two “whole” beauties in one piece once again, only with the tiny slot.

Now the audiences can see the twins in weird suit, both half red and half blue.

“For the final step.” The magician approaches one of the “new” twins and rubs his finger near the “slot” on her head. Then a small ball of flame appears and burns all the way down along the “slot”. It bursts and disappears after finishing its task. “This was invented by maybe the first magician who has ever performed sawing in this way. I think it is a duty for me to pay tribute to him.” Says the magician while doing the same thing to another “new” twin.

After this act, the tiny slots on the beauties disappear. The bodies regain their perfectness.

“Now, wake up!” the magician waves his hand before the one he just casts the spell.

However, the “new” lady didn’t react at all. Her head still drops with the metal frames holding it.

The magician looks back to the audiences with a puzzled look on his face. It seems there is something wrong.

“Maybe you would not mind which one to choose, right?” he turns to the man and asks.

“Well, they are all the same, right?” the man answers with a little suspicious tone.

“Of course.” The magician turns to another “new” lady and does the same thing “Wake up!”

Still nothing happened.

“Well… Maybe something goes wrong. Or we should say something beyond my expectation.” He puts one hand below his mouth and begins thinking.

“What is it?” the man can not hide his expression of worrying, so do all the audiences.

“A metaphor can help us understand the situation.” Says magician “You can not have two files of the same name in one folder, right?”

Obviously, this metaphor makes all people even more puzzled.

“Let us put it briefly. These ladies are exactly the same. Even twins, they are still two different people, they have their own bodies. However, what we have now are two people with the same body parts (Though things like finger prints are still different, these would affect the entire fact). Both of them have half older sister’s body and half younger sister’s body. The laws of the world would not allow this thing to happen. It is even more serious than Clone. To think I challenged the world unconsciously.”

The audiences missed the chance to applaud. They have intended to do so when one of the ladies wake up and get down from the board. Now it seems not the time to cheer.

“Of course, we can slice them again and changes them back, but it will be meaningless. I did prove my skills, but I am also a responsible man, I have to handle this.” He turns to the man “Would you allow me to do another trick by making one of the, er, ladies as our assistant? It will kill two birds with one stone.”

“Er… Sure?” the man is already lost his ability to deliberate and answers by instinct.

“Then which one would you choose to be your lover? Though they are the same, but I think it is still your right to do so.”

“Er… then the one with red left part and blue right part.” The man is too worried to think about this question actually. All he wants is just to get his lover back.

“Ok, boys, get that onto the stage.”

Four stagehands go back to the stage and the others begin to unlock the lady who is not chosen from the board. They then lift her above their heads by holding her ankles and shoulders. The four stagehands reappear on the stage with a long table and a metal cuboid frame with decorative pattern covered by paper.

“Another illusion I want to recreate to pay tribute to a great illusionist is this. It is called Cremation.”

Some are astonished just by its name, while the others who have ever watched performance like that begin to get excited again.

“The only way to make the world recognize our new lady is to make her unique. So, by erasing one of them, the left one can be the real “one”.”

The stagehands put the lady on the long table with her face up with the audiences murmuring, shocked by the magician’s idea.

“In that great master’s show, he hypnotizes his assistant. However, what is the point of hypnotizing if the assistant is already lying on the table? She must know her fate well but still willing to take part in. What is more, our lady is unconscious now, which saves this step at the first place. But I still have some work to do.”

The magician walks towards the lady and places her hands on her stomach. He then adjusts her head, making her eyes facing straight to the roof.

“By my spell, the lady will be more flammable.” He makes the same hypnotism gestures above her eyes “We are having an illusion show instead of a torture. She deserves a quick process.”

The magician describes calmly, but what he says is surely thrilling. Some audiences are so excited or intense that they feel the hearts would come out in any time.

The lying lady, with the magician doing his job, suddenly moves. Her head falls aside, “looking” directly at the audiences and her arm falls aside from the stomach too. Some part of it reach out the edge of the table.

“This happens too in the great master’s show.” Explains the magician while reaching to the lady’s arm, putting it back on the stomach “Maybe the lady just struggles out of instinct.”

He also readjusts her head, and by holding her arm, he signals the stagehands to cover the lady with the cuboid.

“Now fetch me the torch.”

Orders magician while one stagehand gives him a long thin metal spike, like nothing is impenetrable before it. He makes a snap near the tip of the spike and fire breaks out.

“Everybody watch carefully!” without giving too much time for the audiences to prepare, the magician just thrusts the spike into the cuboid through the gap of the metal.

The second the spike enters the cuboid, the fire bursts out violently through everywhere of the frame and burns the paper in no time. The fire is so fierce that no one can see what is like in the cuboid exactly. However, the sound of cracking wood is clearly heard all over the theatre, making the show creepy.

The fire is fierce but dies down quickly. In seconds the fire can only be seen in the cuboid, but no one can see clearly with the frame blocking their sight.

The magician signals and two stagehands lift the frame with gloves protecting their hands from the heat.

After the removal of the cuboid, what is shown before everybody’s eyes is a skeleton, with fire still burning mildly everywhere on the table. All people gasp. Though the performance is beyond fabulous, no one remembers to give applaud after seeing a scene like this.

After some people become sober again, they find something strange about the skeleton. The magician is willing to show it to the audiences.

“The suits are provided by me, I don’t want it wasted. So do the shoes.” He approaches the feet of the skeleton, what lie there are the glittering heels the lady once wore. They fall from the feet with no flesh to hold them. The magician presents his exquisite skills by just burning the body and leave the heels unharmed. He picks them up and hands to a stagehand.

What about the leotard then?

“See? These suits still have their jobs for the next shows.” He guides the audiences’ sight towards the torso part of the skeleton. The skeleton still “wears” the leotard. “It will be hard to undress like this, so I think I need to detach some parts.” Says the magician while pull one leg of the skeleton off from the torso at the same time, just like detaching building blocks. In no time two legs are all detached.

The audiences now are even unable to gasp. They can only watch quietly while the magician pulls the leotard from the lower part of the skeleton torso. It is also handed to a stagehand.

“Come to yourself, sir” says the magician to the man who acts like under trance all the time. Maybe what happens today is way too much for him to accept or understand.

“Now, for the final step, let us witness together.” The magician guides the man to the left lady still on the board “Wake up, dear!” once again, the magician casts the spell.

In no time, the eyes of the lady regain their brilliance and she lifts her head. Her expression shows that she has no idea what happened, but the next second she begins to smile with joy on her face.

The stagehands unlock her and the magician takes her hang to guide her to the center of the stage.

The thunder-like applaud fills the whole theatre, while the lady still checks her new body. Then the couple hug together joyfully.

When the applaud dies down, the magician begins to interview the lady.

“How do you feel now, dear?”

“Oh, it is really fascinating. Like I am always thinking two things at the same time. But it doesn’t bother me, because we, or I should say “I” now, have always been thinking the same thing. It is just that I have to think one thing twice now. This is a little weird.”

“It will take some time for yourself, or yourselves to fuse and get used to it. Then you will become one. How do you like the show?”

“Extraordinary! Now I can still remember the tremble in my body. Like I was sawn in half twice while seeing myself sawn twice too. No one would ever experience anything like this but me! ”

“How about the suit on you? Tell our audiences if there is gap between the different colors?”

“No, it is just like one piece from the very start.” The red left part and blue right part join together in the middle of her body, with no signs of ever sawn apart at all. “See? I can’t pull them apart.” She tries to pull the different parts apart, but the leotard remains in one piece.

“So can I take it as a “Yes” for my illusion?”

“Yes, of course!”

“What about you, sir? Are you satisfied now?” the magician turns to the man.

“Over-satisfied.” The man says “I have never thought you would solve our problem with such fabulous feat.” Being the closest one to witness the whole thing, he is really something that can still come up with words to speak.

“Thank you for your appreciation. As for the skeleton, I will handle that, so don’t worry. Then as a reward of my work, would you like to take part in one more illusion for the end of tonight? It will be far funnier than any other illusions today.”

“Sure. What is it?” asks the man.

“It is more like an acrobatic show.” Says the magician while some stagehands already begin their work.

They wheel a big cartoon style canon, with the muzzle facing the audiences.

“I will shoot you with this canon. Then you will find yourself somewhere in the theatre. All you need to do is to climb into it and walk back to the stage.”

“It sounds quite easy.” Says the man “I think I should experience some kind of illusions myself.”

“That is really kind of you. Now would you get to your position?”

“Sure.” The man walks to the muzzle and climb into it.

“Is it ok in there?” the magician shouts into the muzzle.

“Much wider than I have expected.” The voice of the man comes out of the muzzle, sounds like coming out of a cave. He is indeed in the canon now.

“Ok, everybody get ready!” the magician walks to the end of the barrel and picks up a rope there “When I count to three!”

The audiences all focus on the stage, while preparing to look around for the man at any time.

“One, two, three!”

“Bomb!” With the pulling of the rope, a rather cute sound comes out from the muzzle as well as pink smoke.

“Where are you, sir?” shouts the magician with all in the theatre searching for the man.

“I am here!” a voice come from the corner of the theatre. There stands the man, being highlighted.

Everybody knows well this is just a trick, but they still wonder how the magician could make the man travel such a long distance in such a short period of time. The theatre is quite big after all.

Being watched by the audiences, the man walks back to the stage and rejoins with his girlfriend and the magician.

“How was the travel like?”

“Wow, I think I really know how the canon balls feel like now. It makes riding a motorbike like taking a jog.”

“Want another ride?”

“No, it is surely exciting, but not the kind you want to try again.”

“Ok, you task finishes now.” the magician grins, which means he has something more to give “But the show still goes on!”

The magician pulls the rope again.

“Bomb!” another cute sound comes out with the same pink smoke.

This makes all puzzled. What is the point of shooting a blank?

“Where are you, sir?” the magician asks the same question again, which seems quite meaningless.

“I am here!” a voice come from the same corner of the theatre. There stands the same man, being highlighted in the same way.

The whole theatre is in dead silence again, without no one ever remember how many times it is like this. The man who just appeared from the corner just walks towards the stage, being watched in the same but also different way.

Now on the stage stand two man who look exactly the same. Same height, same size in same clothes. Even their hair style and the length of the beard are the same.

“Who are you?” asks the man who comes onto the stage first.

“Who are you?” asks the man who just comes onto the stage.

“See my skill now? This canon not only shoots people out, but also clones people!”

The audiences now murmur loudly instead of applauding, and there is a reason. The magician surely proves himself is talented and skillful, but……

“What is the point of joining them together if you can clone people from the very start?” asks the men simultaneously. It is also the question everybody wants to ask.

Maybe no one realizes they would consider something so seriously. They have already forgotten they are just watching illusion show.

“No one ever asked me about this, and don’t you think sawing illusion would be more exciting?” answers the magician with an innocent expression.

“But what should we do now? Your whole endeavor is meaningless now!” says the lady, she is not enough for two men now.

“Chill out, everyone. With my canon here, it would not be an problem.”

Surely, what he has to do is just take another shoot with the lady as the ammo.

“However, let us give the real final part a bit change.” Says the magician and two stagehand approaches the magician with something in their hands. They are the leotard and the heels of the “erased” lady. “These are enough.”

He tosses the clothes into the canon and pulls the rope once again.

“Bomb!” the third cute sound comes out with the same pink smoke.

“Where are you, lady?”

“I am here!” a familiar voice comes from the same corner of the theatre. There stands another lady who has already been “erased.”

She walks towards the stage in a quite professional way, totally unlike how she acted before.

When she finally gets on the stage, the audiences finally see her clearly. She is wearing the blue left part and red right part leotard, just the one when she disappeared.

“Everybody happy now?” the magician says and takes a bow.

Finally, the audiences find the chance to give the unstopping applaud.

“And don’t forget to give your applaud to my brilliant twins assistants. They are not only good assistants but also excellent performers. Without them, all of us would not be able to enjoy such a wonderful night. Maybe I would still perform this illusion by another time, so promise me not to spoil if we are lucky to have some of you enjoy this "Two to divide, one to combine"!”

Knowing the truth, the audiences also pay tribute to the twins while the four take a bow with the unstopping applaud given to the magician. The curtain drops, announcing the end of the fancy night.
