🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Méliès constructs this brief trick on the contrast between proving an object's ordinary nature and its subsequent magical transformation. The film relies on stop-substitution and double exposure as foundational, yet for 1899, revolutionary tools of cinematic wonder.

Director: Georges Méliès
