Magic Bricks
First screened in December 2018
Director: Segundo de Chomón. Cast: Unknown.

Twitter Capsule: Ingenious enough to compensate for thick Orientalism, though I'd have loved one more trick up its faux-Chinese robe.

VOR:   The color tinting is the real magic trick here, and would have stood out plenty in 1908. The feat with the little girl's image is pretty great.
