Max brought out 4 chairs and placed them in a row. He instructed each of his assistants to sit and face the audience. They all complied: First was Karen dressed in black bikini. Then was Jon in a pair of green swim trunks. Next was African-American Tanya, dressed in a white bikini. Finally was Asian Wendy in a red one piece swimsuit.
Max approached them and started to pull out a string of handkerchiefs up his left sleeve. Each pieces of cloth, were a different color.
He tossed the string of cloth into the air and they separated with a pop and fell all over the stage including on the heads of the 4 assistants.
Max started picking up all the pieces of colored fabric off the floor and everywhere, including off the heads of his friends.
When he lifted them off of his friends heads, he feigned surprise that his friend's faces were gone! All that was left was a smooth surface of flesh tone on each of the assistant's faces. Max acted startled and dropped all the clothes to the floor.
Now he was confused which cloth was which and he couldn't remember what colored cloth was on whose face.
"Well only one way to find out " Max dropped a black cloth on Karen, a green cloth on Jon, a white cloth on Tanya, and a red cloth on Wendy He then removed the clothes to reveal .
