Not a magic wand

 Athlete with Wand (1894)


Directed by William K. L. Dickson this is an early short film. A man with a stick does several exercises or poses.


This may be the earliest example of scene stealing on film as the dog left in shot takes away all attention from the subject of the film. The image quality on this one is not great and neither is the entertainment value of the supposed subject matter. Still dog on film though.


3/5
