As a professional magician, and one who owns this very device, may I say you've had some great answers so far, but so far none of them have "cut it" as the answer (excuse the pun)
You might have a real magician tell you on here, but I'll be suprised as when an illusion is bought (usually for over a thousand dollars) most of that payment is for the secret.
One person above was correct in one thing though, there isn't any one single way of performing the effect, and don't let the cheap toy "finger choppers" fool you either, a full size guillotine effect won't work in that way.

It depends
there's two ways of doing a guillotine magic act.
One is where the magician is replace by a dummy when the audience is not looking. The other is done with a special mechanism built in the panel that's supposed to hold your head in place

thedevice has a small piece of wood which after the initial demo is pushed into place, the blade has two parts, when it connects with the stop the middle part of blade stays behind just leaving the side pieces to drop down creating the illusion

there is a little safety feature on the side ,on and off when its off the blade goes up into the wood or steel looking like it is there but really isnt.

its just an optical illusion. What you perceive as the blade isn't real
