One of the greatest of black art pictures. The conjurer appears before the audience, with his head in its proper place. He then removes his head, and throwing it in the air, it appears on the table opposite another head, and both detached heads sing in unison. The conjurer then removes it a third time. You then see all three of his heads, which are exact duplicates, upon the table at one time, while the conjurer again stands before the audience with his head perfectly intact, singing in unison with the three heads upon the table. He closes the picture by bowing himself from the stage.

This was actually really impressively created considering the time period that this was made!!!
Gotta love these talking heads, they're the same as they ever were

Gøy og enkel film, lurer faktisk litt på hvordan Georges Méliès klarte å lage dette for langt over 100 år siden. Handlingen er veldig basic, det er faktisk nesten ingen handling.
