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?
