An Up-to-Date Conjurer
Original title: L'Impressionniste fin de siècle
1899 · 1 min
Georges MélièsCast
Plot
A film from Méliès has him playing a magician who does a few tricks including making a woman disappear.
Sinekatalog’s take
A brief magician's act in which a woman vanishes in a puff of smoke, staged with early camera tricks. The wonder is the trick itself and the showmanship behind it. A pleasing curiosity for silent-film enthusiasts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
