What happens
The Magician is a 1900 American silent trick film produced by Thomas A. Edison's Edison Manufacturing Company. According to the Edison film catalog, the film originally was sold to theaters for $9.00. This film exemplifies the strong links between early film and magic; the 1900 Edison film catalog alone contained several trick films, including Ching Ling Foo Outdone, The Clown and the Alchemist, Congress of Nations and Hooligan Assists the Magician.
