The really fun thing about seeing these old trick films is trying to put yourself in the position of an audience of the time and realizing how awesome and terrifying watching something like this would be if you have no idea how it would've been made.

This is one of, if not the best, turn of the century short.

How could you not love Georges Méliès? This short is great, you can see the showmanship & craft that Méliès naturally had shine through - it's doubtful many other early film-makers could have pulled this off & made it so charming.

I'm not one to give extra points for being historic, but that was brilliantly amusing.

Not a bad little short film, but it's painfully obvious that the headless conjurer is simply wearing a dark mask.

Pretty amazing seeing what could be done way back in 1898. Even out of context, it's still kind of a fun little short. Good stage presence, good special effects.

Quite short but Méliès' stage presence is still effective and exciting today - the man was truly a talented performer.
