Rooster_Ties Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 IMHO, non-gratuitous female nudity is often among the best kind there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Some googling, and this appears to be the magician's site, below. Her name (or stage name) is Ursula Martinez. Best as I can tell, she appears to be a serious performance artist -- and although there is some nudity here and there, non of it is the least bit graphic. http://www.ursulamartinez.com Edit: And here's the page about the act in question... 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? QUOTES (see PRESS for full articles) 'Ursula Martinez takes the genre of comedy magic and makes it entirely her own, incontrovertibly proving that it's not what you do, it's the way that you do it. 'The Scotsman 'A gorgeous sexy 40 year old, she struts around a charmed and delighted crowd.' The Pink Paper. 'Sexy, daring and utterly stunning' Three Weeks '... teasing magic strip 'n' magic trick which Martinez carries of with real flair and a mischievous glint in her eye…. ' The Herald PREVIOUS PERFORMANCES Martinez has performed this show stopping cabaret act all over the world, including Sydney, Hong Kong, Lisbon, Madrid, Vienna and Budapest. Special party events include Tate Modern, John Mortimer's 81st birthday bash and Salmon Rushdie's all female celebrity stag night. http://www.ursulamartinez.com/texts/hanky.html ( "...and Salmon Rushdie's all female celebrity stag night." ) Edited September 16, 2006 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hey Roos, if you examine Jim's link, it tells us her name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Hey Roos, if you examine Jim's link, it tells us her name. Just noticed that now -- and if only I'd noticed earlier, I would have been spared a number of wrong sites that Google led me to. (At least that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. ) Edited September 16, 2006 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 She sets fire to her tits, interrogates her parents, re-defines class, blurs fiction with reality, cures homosexuals, gives birth to penises, tells autobiographical stories, deconstructs performance and sings South London suburban flamenco - from high brow to low brow, from spectacle to confessional, from live art to light entertainment, Ursula Martinez produces solo and collaborative performance for theatre, site-specific, installation, cabaret, night club, film, television…… birthdays, weddings and Barmitzvahs! What, no yams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I gotta say...... Ursala has me smiling all weekend. I went to the gig last night - picked up my bass- and started playing the bass line to "A Shot In The Dark" to check the amp. Everybody in the band smiled. I showed the video to my wife and she cracked up. I find myself smiling and it's becase I'm thinking of this routine. Thanks Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
