The Magician's Cavern
Original title: L'antre des esprits
1901 · 3 min
Georges MélièsCast
Plot
A very enthusiastic magician performs several tricks.
Sinekatalog’s take
An exuberant magician performs trick after trick in this tiny Méliès entertainment, full of vanishings and surprises. The pleasure is in the handmade stagecraft and unstoppable energy rather than in any plot. A fun piece of early cinema for anyone curious about screen magic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
