Magic Tickling?

[Dave2112]

This idea came from The Rocking's thread about how illusions are done. Rather than bring this up in a somewhat unrelated thread, I thought I'd just start one. (You know me...always gotta bring something up.😀 )

Anyway, I'm curious as to how many people are really into the tickling aspect of some Magic Illusions? For me, I could go so far as to say it was probably Magic Tickling that started it all for me, or at least solidified the Path. In '75 I saw Doug Henning put Julie Newmar in a sawing box that was designed to cut the assistant into three pieces. Nothing new by today's standards, but back then it was pretty revolutionary, especially considering that it was a thin-box illusion, horizontal...unlike the standard "Zig-Zag", which is really easy to do once you know the trick. Once he "cut out" the middle of her body, he opened a panel and tickled her bare side. He actually did this for a bit longer than most Illusionists tickle for effect, so I always wondered if Doug was one of us, as he always found a way to incorporate tickling into his act.

This illusion not only set me on my current Path, but had such an impact that my first contribution to this community was my "Jessica" series about tickling in Magic Illusions.

I was just wondering if anyone else had this "Sub-Fetish"? (Is that even a word? Oh, screw it, I'm a writer, I can make up my own words if I want! 😀 )

Yup...

Gotta agree...it's a strong fascination as a subfetish (close enough for me, Dave..lol). I've always thought about how stupid it is NOT to train up to be a magician if you are on of us! Outside of a position in a RenFaire, The Inquisition or a video company, where else could it be part of your job description to have beautiful women placed in helpless positions? Q

Indeed is an amazing illusion, and I belive that for it's a strongest fascination staying in front of the TV waiting for that trick every time a magic show is featuring.
That's why I bought "Magic Box" from Footparadise. That is an amazing video.

Cool topic Dave2112. I always thought of tickling the females feet as they stuck out of the box since I was like 10 years old.

 

[Dave2112]

I know you guys are referring to feet ticklng stuff, which I like, but what I would really like to see more of is Assistants getting their bellies or other parts tickled in Illusions. Tickling is rare enough in Magic these days, but the good old days of a belly tickling in a three-way divide seem to be long-gone. You'd think that with the new developments in Magic, you'd see more of this, but alas, no.🙁

Doesn't Turtleboy's Celebrity Feet and Tickling Site have a whole section on magic box tickling? Send me to Alaska and call me Shirley if I can remember his URL, though.....
