How do the "twins"magicians do it?

We have recently returned from Alton Towers.We also watched the half hour fantastic ice show which also featured the only twin illussionists in the world.Can anyone say how they saw the woman in half(they also use two transparent boxes for this which we are told has never been done before.We
spoke to Paul ,one of the magicians,who confirmed they don't use midgets in
their act.If it is mirrors then please explain.

Normally "double jointed" people who can fold themselves in half and false bottomed boxes.

She is always on view.Her legs are then pulled about two metres away from her upper body.

theres 2 of them - one in each box, same size and clothes to give illusion of only one person.

There always has to be 2 people - how they fit into the boxes though is another matter.....

These boxes are approx 20" x 30" and transparent.Her legs are the same ones that are pulled away.

sorry to be a pain but please don't say midgets - dwarfs or little people - I have a dwarf friend who gets v. annoyed at the term midget (not pc anymore).
