The Girl Without A Middle (also known as "The Disembodied Princess" and "No Guts") is an illusion in which the torso of the assistant vanishes. The assistant is locked in a cabinet and with head and legs in full view. After blades are put into place, apparently severing legs and head, the center doors are opened showing the torso has vanished.
