Quote: In a traditional “magician” attire, the wizard of illusion and jump cuts, Georges Méliès, says the magic words and conjures up wonders from a plain wooden box.
Quote: Directed by Georges Méliès, the film features a wizard, a Pierrot, and a sculptor in a rapid series of substitution splices. The film is described as “another exercise in the art of the jump-cut,” in the tradition of Méliès’ earlier A Nightmare (Le Cauchemar, 1896) and The Haunted Castle (Le Château hanté, 1897).
