The magician put the funnel in one end of the tube, and threaded the loose end of the rope through, then handed it to Bob. "Bob, you look pretty strong. Go ahead and pull on the rope." Bob pulled, taking up the slack until Sammy's hands were inside the funnel.
"It won't go further." Sammy looked a little relieved.
"I'm not surprised. The human body can only compress so far." The magician grabbed the tube and held his hand around the small end of the funnel. "Of course, with a little magical assistance, anything is possible..." Sammy's eyes widened. "Go ahead and try again."
Bob pulled on the rope. Samantha's arms seemed to slide further into the funnel. Something flesh-colored appeared at the funnel end of the tube. Bob stopped. "Um..."
"Don't worry, I used a little oil inside the tube. Keep pulling- Sammy should go smoothly." She shook her head. "Well, physically, at least." Bob pulled, and Samantha's arms vanished into the funnel to her elbows. She bent forward, head between her arms, and tried to pull back.
