Sticky Vicky
Victoria María Aragüés Gadea (15 April 1943 – 29 November 2023), also known as Vicky Leyton and professionally as Sticky Vicky, was a Spanish ballet dancer and illusionist known for her vaginal magic show. Her career spanned almost 50 years, with her final performance taking place in autumn 2015.
Early life
Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on 15 April 1943, Leyton moved to Barcelona with her mother when her father left the family. She studied classical ballet for 15 years, later working as a dancer. With her sister, a contortionist, she performed in a musical dance show. A businessman gave her the stage name of Vicky Leyton, by which she was known for the rest of her life. Leyton later managed El Molino, a theatre on the Avinguda del Paral·lel in Barcelona.
Magic show
After the death of Francisco Franco and the easing of sexual censorship, Leyton experienced difficulties; the public wanted more sexually explicit shows, and employers began to hire foreigners willing to perform nude. A magician suggested that she perform a magic act by removing unusual objects from her vagina. After practicing with simple objects (such as handkerchiefs), Vicky premiered her show in Barcelona cabarets. The show was successful, and she performed in cities in northern Spain and many variety theatres abroad.
