Sitting on a table, one knee up, the lady magician gazes down at the audience. She looks something of a queen on a sedan chair, exuding glamour in her black leotard, sheer nylons and high-heeled pumps. Before and after her, rolling the table forward on its castors, are two girls who look to be in their early teens at best. They wear skimpy two-pieces as their only outfit, blue and orange respectively, with matching socks and no shoes. As the table reaches center stage the woman hops down, rocking her high heels like she was born in them. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. And welcome. Let me thank you all for coming to the show. I am really, really glad and excited to see so many people here tonight. I am Nora, as you probably know already, to thrill and amaze you. Please meet my beloved daughters, as well as invaluable assistants, Stacy and Claire. Together, we’ll do our best to make tonight a night you won't forget. Enjoy and have fun. Thank you." A punchy dance tune kicks in

Trust you mirthfully submit to me a moment's whim - just for the hell of it Tease you are part of this a victim not - an accomplice you know it all or so you think Touch of flesh and steel your mystery - my mystery reshaping pain to ecstasy True to yourself now complex outside just like inside form deconstructed glorified Tears to prove it real you struggle - breathless - as you feel a brush of fingers down your soles Time to break the spell return unscathed to the world you do not think of as a show
