Three heads are better than one?

 

The Triple Conjurer and the Living Head (1900)


Directed by star Georges Melies this is an early short film. A man and two duplicates do magic tricks.


Simple in terms of content this is Melies once again showing off his combination of stage magic and camera trickery. Yes the modern eye can tell how the trick is done but the film is still decent for the period. Pretty fun.


3/5
