This short trick film is included on the "Melies Encore" DVD from Flicker Alley, however it is is not actually a film by this director. To show the competition Melies faced at this point, Flicker Alley included two Segundo de Chomon films which were meant to take away his market. "Magic Roses" was created in 1906 which was the year that trick films already were beginning to lose their popularity. It begins with a magician (who even looks like Melies, no wonder this was once identified as a Melies short!) making beautiful women appear out of nowhere and turning them into roses, etc. While the tricks are basic, they look pretty good and still work well even a century later. The stencil color looks great too, and everything works as a whole. It may be a very typical trick film and technically an imitation of Melies, but it's still enjoyable even now.
(Note: I own a Segundo de Chomon DVD set which also includes this film. The copy used for that set is not only also colored, it includes some footage at the end not included in Flicker Alley's release).
