This is a moving picture that moves. Positively the greatest magical picture ever offered. A Hindoo magician appears and dances for the entertainment of six pretty maidens. Then, to the astonishment of all, he runs up the wall, dances and turns handsprings in mid-air, introducing many tricks that are entirely new in animated photography. The most puzzling of all the mystical series. (Star Film Catalog)

other title: 炼金术士的幻觉 / L'hallucination de l'alchimiste
这才是梅里爱现存第一部彩蜡stencil染色片(作品编号95),而不是Le Château hanté(作品编号96),后者豆瓣评论区都说是第一部染色,这个错误也正常,因为作品95是后来才被发现并被修复后收入新碟Melies Encore,以前被认为是lost film,而在新碟出现或还未广泛推广、被做成rip在各大视频站起到普及作用前,原先的5碟版本中作品96确实是第一部染色。
