The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A short silent film shows a magician performing tricks of vanishing and appearing. The film uses camera stops to make the illusions seem more impressive.

What happens
Ching Ling Foo Outdone è un cortometraggio diretto da Edwin S. Porter della durata di circa 1 minuto in bianco e nero. Protagonista del cortometraggio è il prestigiatore americano William Ellsworth Robinson, il quale, nato a New York attorno al 1864 da immigrati scozzesi, si esibiva nei teatri sotto il nome d'arte di Chung Ling Soo. In questo cortometraggio grazie agli effetti cinematografici può mostrare una complessa sequenza di giochi di prestigio, apparizioni e sparizioni, effettuati col trucco dell'arresto della ripresa.
