This is how the film was described in its promotional material: "This is a moving picture that moves. Positively the greatest magical picture ever offered. A Hindoo magician appears and dances for the entertainment of six pretty maidens. Then, to the astonishment of all, he runs up the wall, dances and turns handsprings in mid-air, introducing many tricks that are entirely new in animated photography. The most puzzling of all (in) the mystical series". The illusion of a person walking on walls was achieved by filming from the ceiling. Directed by Georges Méliès.
