Georges Méliès must have made at least a hundred films where he plays a magician performing for the viewing audience. This one is better than most, but still familiar as the filmmaker uses similar techniques and sets. Much of the trick involves stopping the film, making various changes and then re-starting the film to make it appear as if something disappeared or changed before your very eyes.
This one begins with Georges Méliès materializing before you. He then takes a magical box and pulls out pieces of a large female mannequin. Then, she becomes a living woman! In addition, her clothes change repeatedly and sometimes she turns into a clownish chef. It's all very rapid-fire and well done for 1903. But it's also a bit familiar if you've seen much of his work.
