Marvellous Suspension and Evolutions

WAR 1902


Marvelous Suspension

After numerous exhibitions of the black art by the magician, he causes a handsome young woman to appear suspended in the air. She slowly turns until her head is pointed towards the floor and her feet toward the ceiling. She revolves in both directions, as though on a pivot, with apparently nothing to hold her. Here is a picture that will amuse any audience, and cause them to stare in astonishment at this wonderful performance.

Marvellous Suspension and Evolution

A large vase appears in the centre of the stage, and while it is being admired by a rather aged gentleman is suddenly transformed into a pretty girl. She comes down from the stand on which she appears and begins to dance for the old man. She then rises mysteriously in the air and performs graceful evolutions without any visible means of support. After a marvelous performance she slowly fades away from view. A tableau is then formed by a number of girls. The old man looks on with admiration and agreeable surprise. Any audience that sees this film projected will receive a treat similar to his.
