This is incredible. Not only in the way it captures life in a time long gone by, but especially in how incredibly CLEAR the film is. Usually, in films from this time, you expect a lot of "flicker," but it is astonishingly absent here. It's a beautiful time capsule with excellent choice in music background, too.

That is a great video. My home town 50 years before I was born. Amazing how many things I recognized. Thanks for finding it.
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |

Thanks, Doug. I love watching these ghostly old films. They looked like they were doing well for a change.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I was very impressed how they made the film so crystal clear. Just not normal for footage from that far back!
I'm wondering how they did that.

One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

These are so beautiful. Reminds me of the restored footage seen in They Shall Not Grow Old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrabKK9Bhds
More Victorian footage at the BFI: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/collection/victorian-film I'd love to see old magic footage. |
