Number 5 – Hanky Panky (2007)
One of the most common tricks in magic is to take a handkerchief and make it vanish and reappear again in your bare hands. How ould that possibly be outrageous?
Enter Ursula Martinez, cult cabaret diva and performance artist with her ‘Hanky Panky’ act. After it was filmed for the Montreal Comedy Festival in 2007 (featuring unexpected full frontal nudity) the clip went viral with millions of views.
Ursula still travels the world performing this act and has even “franchised” the act to several other performers.
Who says you need big illusions to shock an audience?
Less is more.
Much less….
