Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In a traditional "magician" attire complete with a black robe and a pointy hat, the wizard of illusion and jump cuts, Georges Méliès, says the magic words, and out of thin air, he conjures up a plain wooden box atop an ordinary table. Unexpectedly, the illusionist jumps into the box, and a comical and famished Pierrot emerges, only to give place to a bearded sculptor, ready to put the finishing touches on a life-like female bust. Suddenly, a beautiful woman appears. Is she real or is she a delightful mirage? Written by Nick Riganas |
