In 5.16 Shells, Spike says of Illyria, “I fancied I saw a blur just before she went Houdini.” This is a reference to the famous escapologist Harry Houdini.
There is another mention in 4.19 The Magic Bullet:
Gunn: “This close and she pulled a Houdini.”
Connor: “What’s a Houdini?”
Wesley: “She escaped.”
