"Walla!" -- (Same source. Not sure, but I think it's supposed to mean "Voila!")

Actually it means "nothing".

Magicians use it a lot. Put the scarf over the hand holding the dove, pull the scarf away, and Walla, "nothing".

The spelling is different but the pronunciation is the same in Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines.
