Robert the Magician and the ZZ Girl
The Magician's Oath: traditionally, a magician may never reveal the trick, the secret information that lets him perform magic.
Unfortunately I follow the opposite oath.
Naturally this page seems to me like an injustice. Or at least a puzzle. What is "the famous illusion where the magician slides the girl's middle out to the side"?
Rowland is clever - he obscures his subject with the nonstandard reference "ZZ Girl". I'm sure his target audience understands... that "ZZ" equals "Zig Zag".
A common problem, to lack the necessary vocabulary to accurately describe your subject. Yet there is a common trick to dance around it - omitting seemingly necessary terms.
Use what you've got.

From the first result:
"Since its invention in the mid 1960s by magician Robert Harbin, it has been hailed as one of the greatest illusions ever invented."
