This is the most insane magic I've ever seen. And I don't even like magic tricks, generally. CRAZY.
Do you think she has all of the outfits on when she first walks out? The top of one outfit is sewn to the hem of the outfit that she wears next.

I have to think this, otherwise my head will asplode!

It's in her pocket!!

I've always liked those quick-change acts. I saw one of those "magician revealed" shows one time and I think it's a special outfit that folds in and around itself multiple ways. I'm sure there's a youtube spoiler out there somewhere.

If she is as good as I think she is, she can go through all the changes in less than fifteen seconds. That wouldn't make for much of an act though.

they're (she is) pretty good. I wonder if there is a double in the box that helps with the illusion of quick transitions? in any case, that last illusion was spot on.

Yeah, the last one got me. Very well done. Just from an engineering standpoint, I'd like to know how it was done - this is one instance in which that would enhance, not spoil, my admiration of the trick!

It's all in the construction of the dress, as each "outfit" is merely another layer which peels down like layers of an onion, each fixed at the waist. The skirts get progressively longer and more billowy to hide the bulk of the older "dresses" as they hang down. The contrary is true - more and more of her upper body is exposed as time goes on, not to mention that her upper body appears much bulkier at the beginning than at the end.

In high school, as one of the punishments we were forced to undergo "change parades" where we were supposed to cycle through our different sets of uniforms (dress, drill, p.t., class, etc.) and given a couple of minutes to change between each one, with penalties assessed according to how much time we as a group ran over. Getting out of one pair of lace-up boots and getting into another was the biggest time sink by far. Let's see Ms. Quicky McChangydress do that.
