Melies started out as a stage magician, but he quickly learned and invented a lot of film magic too, which he uses to great and good effect in this effort: the one where he slices the boy in half is wonderful. It's a thirty-second magic act, little more, but must have been a real jaw-dropper when originally shown.
This is one of the many previously lost or infrequently seen Melies pictures that have been made available by Serge Bromberg, David Shepherd and a myriad of other hands in the newly issued DVD set GEORGES MELIES: FIRST WIZARD OF CINEMA. Required viewing for anyone interested in the history of movies ..... and a lot of fun.
