When you're dating a guy or girl for a few months and one day they just stop answering your texts or calling you back, essentially disappearing off the face of the earth because they don't have the backbone to break up with you.
"Hey, how're things going with you and your man, Dylan?"
"They're not. He totally pulled a Houdini on my ass"
"Aw, that sucks man."
"They're not. He totally pulled a Houdini on my ass"

Get the Pulled a Houdinimug. The act of turn left from a right hand lane while honking your horn, waving your hands in the air and yelling crazily at the car in the left lane
This shitty insurance salesman in a Buick was pulling a Phil next to us at the stop sign in BFE Ohio, so we followed him for a while and kept honking our horn to piss him off.

Get the Pulling a Philmug. To suddenly, and with seemingly no cause, spill one's shit all over the place. Those who "Pull Kelly's" are often repeat offenders, and cannot be trusted to carry or otherwise posses plates of food, bowls of soup, glasses, mugs, any other similar containers, or basically anything that would be really inconvenient to clean.

Get the pulling an eamug. Everyone is familiar with the story of Casey Jones who up at bat because of his massive ego deliberately let two strikes get by him before he (presumably) would made a home run, but he didn't. He struck out on the last one.
"Pulling a Casey" in this case is used as an action of swindling. It simply means to deliberately flounder, mess up, or make deliberate mistakes in the beginning of a game to encourage competitors and gamblers into thinking they have an easy win.
When in fact their opponent is quite skilled in the area of interest and is waiting for real money to arrive before they show off their incredible and stunning skill at the cost of everyone involved.
It's appropriate in settings of gambling like playing pool or even the shell game.
In the shell game the dealer pulls a Casey with the new players by letting them win a couple of bucks by finding the pea easily enough under the shell.
But the dealer knows full well they're going to bet more and try to win more - and that's when the swindle comes in. Once they have won their confidence on how "easy" the game is.
Pulling a Casey in a game of table pool for instance can show a pool-shark deliberately make bad moves like miss sinking balls and even scratching the cue to encourage bets.
And then after a few bad shots once there is real money involved - that's when the shark plays for keeps and takes the competitors and bets for all they are worth, hustling them for all their money.

"Did you see that ? I've already won $5 from Justin in blackjack ! I'm upping my bet !"
