I'll show you something else that proves it."� said Ian, as he brought a mirror into view and positioned it so Karen could see her predicament. "Watch!"� he instructed. He went round the back of the cabinet and leant down. Karen felt the contact as Ian pushed the lever behind the bottom section and saw to her amazement and shock that a gap of about two inches appeared between the two bottom sections of the cabinet as the upper section was raised. As soon as the gap was there Ian moved up and pushed the next lever up, causing Karen's boxed torso to rise a further two inches above her thighs. Soon each section was separated from the section below by a gap of the same size. "At this point I would rotate the turntable so the audience could see that you are truly in six sections, but I shan't bother today."
"What comes next?"
"I remove your various parts from the frame and stack you next to yourself."� So saying he knelt down and detached the box containing Karen's right foot from the spine of the illusion and placed it on the floor a couple of feet away with her toes sticking out of the front at the top, upside-down. He then removed the box from the left of her belly section and placed it on top of the foot section so that she could touch the underside of her toes with the fingers that protruded from that box. Next her left knee was almost touched the floor next to the right foot box and her right knee box was laid horizontally between these boxes. Then her right hand and left foot were added to the pile of Karen's parts. "There six sections each with a part of you visible sticking out of it in a pile. Only eight more to go."
"I don't want to be a killjoy, but there are only four sections of me here."
"That's where this comes back in."� he said, as he picked up the cutting blade again. With practiced smoothness he slid it between the side blades of Karen's belly section and it went through with ease. A couple of small blades were placed either side of the cutter and it was removed. Ian took hold of the part with her belly button visible and it came away only to be added to the pile of Karen. The small of her back quickly followed. "How was that?"
"Actually it made my tummy turn over,"� said Karen.
Ian frowned, worried that he may have caused his assistant-to-be some discomfort, that might make her reconsider.
Seeing his expression of concern, Karen quickly added, "�No, no, no. It's not bad. It's like the excitement you feel when you are on waiting for a roller-coaster to start. Adrenalin, not indigestion."
"The next parts are probably the most intense divisions, so braced yourself." It did not take him long to locate the cutting blade in the slot between her breasts and push it through her sternum and out of her spine.
"Wow! That was pretty intense. The tickle seemed to go up a notch, like being caressed by a lover. I might get to enjoy being divided, if it felt like that all the time."
Ian inserted more blades before taking the cutter out and swiftly added her breasts to the stack of Karen's parts. "This one will be even more, so if you want to stop now just say."
Karen quickly saw the significance of the next cut. She wondered briefly why she had not spotted that Ian planned to cut straight between her legs. "Go ahead. I hope it feels at least as good as the last cut. I think I'm enjoying this adventure outside my comfort zone.
