The Magic Mirror
A remarkable early short silent movie that shows what may be achieved with the technology of the day. A woman sits in front of her dressing table mirror, looking at her jewellery and her reflection in the mirror. Suddenly, another woman appears in the mirror. As the woman watches, the image changes to other women. As the woman looks at her jewellery, women's faces begin to appear in the jewellery stones.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its fantasy through clever, era-appropriate trick photography, relying on the mirror's timeless symbolism as a gateway to the unknown.
What lingers after the final frame is a sense of quiet wonder, a testament to cinema's innate power to conjure phantoms from the mundane. — MovieFinder Editorial
