colterphoto1 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 All the facial expressions and bare skin were meant to distract you from the mechanics of the trick - I'm just glad she was using a hanky instead of a rabbit! has anyone discovered how she does it? I mean make the hankies disappear? It would be quite easy to plant new ones in her, ummmm, attire. But where do all the other's go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The old hollow fake finger routine with the proper ammount of distraction thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 so then when she goes to 'fetch' the other hankie, she ditches the fake thumb, or empties it out? that means that the last hankie may not really be where we thought it was... awwwwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt1stcav Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Well, the thumb trick does make sense. The footage is such low quality it's impossible to see the fake thumb, even with her hands out open (obviously she picked the right size and shade of color to match her skintone for even the live audience probably couldn't spot it). Still, knowing where she's now pulling the red silk hankie from does sorta take the fun out of it. But it's still quite the show, eh? I'd love to see her other acts![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 I found another link that opens Windows Media Player: http://users.skynet.be/pdauwe/ursula_martinez.wmv After much Google searching, I found out this is Ursula Martinez from the UK, known throughout Europe and Asia (and Canada, but not here in the USA) for her comedic theatre. This little 5 minute act is only a small portion of her entire repertoire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
