This film is mildly entertaining if seen today, though it's hardly one that will change your life when you see it. The film makes extensive use of stop-motion filming, as the camera is turned on and off to make it appear as if things appear and disappear due to the will of the crafty hypnotist. At the time, audiences must have loved it and the film is highly reminiscent of the great early films of Georges Méliès--though the films of Méliès usually were better-made (he truly was the master of early trick camera-work). But today, even kids will most likely not be particularly impressed. In addition, the composition of the film just isn't all that inspired--there are just better films like this from 1899, though this film in general is a bit better than average.
