An Up-to-Date Conjurer
(1899)
Directed by and
starring Georges Melies this is an early silent film. We see a
magician and his assistant perform a few tricks.
Using simple camera
tricks to augment stage magic this is a very early special effects
film. You can see how this was the start down the path of
experimentation for Melies. On it's own this is not a very impressive
film but no doubt it was the first step in something major.
3/5
