The Illusion:

The lights rise to show a fearsome looking Circular Buzz Saw spinning at over 2000 revolutions a minute. Spanning over four feet in diameter, it is shown to be solid and real

.
The illusionist now takes both tables and pulls them apart completely, splitting her in two pieces. Her Torso is at one side of the stage and her feet at the other, both are moving completely unaided ( See Photograph ).
A girl enters and climbs into a long cabinet which is sitting on a raised table, three feet above the stage and she is shackled into place so that she cannot escape. The doors of the box are now opened to show the girl laying on her stomach, filling the box completely from head to feet.

The Buzz Saw is now positioned over her body and started. A large mechanical arm now slowly lowers the spinning saw down towards her body, eventually passing right through it visibly. The boxes are now removed completely showing that her body has effectively been sliced in two halves.
