The Magician (1900)

The scene opens on a theatrical stage The magician enters from the wings and making a bow to the audience removes his coat and hat and they disappear mysteriously in the air He then takes a white handkerchief from his pocket holds it over his knees and his long trousers disappear and behold he is clad in knickerbockers He next makes a pass with a magic wand and a table suddenly appears before the audience on which is a large pile of tissue paper The magician takes up the paper and shakes it a few times and three live geese fly out upon the floor This is a highly pleasing and mystifying subject
