I've been tracking down references to an elusive American film from American Mutoscope and Biograph Co. called Merlin, the Magician. It was released in 1899 and photographed by F. S. Armitage, and there is scant information available as far as I can determine as of this date. However, earlier this week, I came across an even earllier film--Georges Méliès's Le Magicien (1898)--that seems to incoporate Merlin (or a very similar looking mage) into its showcasing of early special effects.
Please let know what you think,
Michael
