154:'s, in 1895 to lead window decoration. In the late 1890s, he designed themed shop windows that resembled miniature theaters facing the sidewalk. The staging was so elaborate that the unveiling of six red-themed window displays in 1897 sparked a "red epidemic". According to Cesare Silla, the shop windows of this period were perceived as veritable stages, on which the drama of social life was portrayed, due to their representation of social life and a new urban identity. This led shopkeepers to draw inspiration from the mechanical means used by the theater. The analogy with theater is made by the frequent use of curtains, which are raised in the morning to allow a view of the display and lowered in the evening. The analogy with theater is made by the frequent use of curtains, which are raised in the morning to allow a view of the display and lowered in the evening. The theatrical practice also inspires the staging techniques of the showcase, which incorporates some of the developments of Victorian theater, which, thanks to a design emphasizing flexibility, aims to strike the audience with frequent changes of scenery, in particular through the use of mechanical means to create illusion, such as rail-mounted scenery or trapdoors. 350:'s comparison of the department store with a "machine, operating at high pressure, and whose movement would have reached as far as the stalls" which, "with mechanical rigor", stunned customers with merchandise and threw them into the checkout. From the outset, the development of window displays in American stores was associated with the use of mechanical devices. In 1876, Albert Fischer filed a patent for a rotating window display whose main purpose was to attract the attention of passers-by with its mechanism. In 1881, the New York store Ehrich presented a striking Christmas window display with a doll circus theme - probably the first mechanized window display in the United States. In 1883, Macy's in turn presented a steam-powered toy window for Christmas. In the years that followed, window displays using mechanical animation developed, with the triple aim of attracting passers-by with their movement, arousing their curiosity to understand how they worked, and, in the case of rotating devices, showing different aspects of the products in the same window. In 1893, Robert Faries sold a rotating bust platform to shopkeepers, which "gives the appearance of life to a shop window" and "never fails to attract attention ". 1238:, a mysterious title that suggests the use of new technologies while evoking magic. It's a two-hour show combining parts played by actors, including Baum himself in the role of narrator, musical accompaniment in the auditorium, magic lantern views and colorized film footage. Although it is impossible to reconstruct the content of this traveling show, some details were known from an interview with Baum published in 1909 by the New York Herald. Baum's knowledge of Méliès' trick techniques, in particular substitution and superimposition, suggests a strong influence on the project, particularly from his short films Le Livre magique and Les Cartes vivantes (1904), with which the filmed parts (and colorized in Paris like the films of Méliès, who entrusted this work to Madame Thuilier) share the author's intervention as magician-demiurge and the idea of bringing the characters out of a "living book". The show turned out to be a financial drain: Baum had to stop performing after three months and sell the film adaptation rights to some of his books to 1217:
the existence of "migratory behavior" on the part of audiences, who move from one media to another to pursue the entertainment experiences they have come to enjoy; and on the supply side, the existence of a "multi-platform promotional strategy" designed to encourage consumers to move from one media domain to another in order to enrich their entertainment experience. In this analysis, Baum is described as a "cultural entrepreneur" who, drawing on his reflections on advertising developed in connection with the Art of Showcasing, promotes the Oz universe through different media - books, musicals and cinema - in order to encourage the public to increase consumption of the cultural products he offers, with each medium enriching and complementing the experience offered. According to this analysis, the promotional tools used by Baum, notably promotional comics and Oz pseudo-newspapers, play the same role of attraction as a store window.

than men disappear in Méliès films. On the other hand, Williams points out that Méliès, even before acquiring in 1888 the theater of Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin, himself a famous automaton builder, had built several between 1885 and 1888 in imitation of Robert-Houdin. According to Williams, there is something "fascinating" in the fact that Méliès, behind the camera, cinematically simulates the mechanical simulations of his predecessors, the object of which, she argues, is to give the automaton designer "complete control" over the appearance and movements of his creation, as Méliès cinematically perfects the "mastery of the threatening presence of an actual body, by investing his pleasure in an infinitely repeatable trickery". For Williams, trickery enabled Méliès to "master the threat of castration posed by the illusory presence of women", by staging the "dismemberment and reintegration" of a body and celebrating "the
831:"At short intervals, the young woman would disappear into the pedestal (or so it seemed) and then reappear with a new hat, shirt and gloves, and so on. This went on and on, with a new hat every ten minutes, and so on. A platform is built into the showcase. It is surrounded by three panels, draped with green plush Two mirrors are arranged according to the diagram opposite, right. They reflect the side panels, giving the impression of seeing all around. A trapdoor in the floor allows the woman to disappear by means of a rudimentary elevator, which takes her to the basement where she changes her hat, tie, etc., only to reappear This showcase was a great success. On the second day, we had to put an iron railing in front of the window, lest it be broken by the crowd. The young lady was very pretty, all the hats were fitting and the outfit changes went on all day. We sold a lot of hats this way. 588:"The spectator is placed in front of a small stage closed by a curtain. When the curtain rises, a woman's head hangs in the middle of the stage. To prove that the head is indeed alive, the barnum presents a candle to blow out, and the candlestick is put back under the head to prove that it is not supported by anything. In reality, the audience is the victim of a complete illusion. A mirror cuts through the empty space along the diagonal of the stage. This mirror is pierced by an opening through which the subject, hidden behind the mirror, sticks his head. The door that the audience thinks they can open under the head, and the candle that appears to be presented straight to the subject, were concealed in the hanger of the small stage and above the curtain. Needless to say, the lighting system is designed so that no light is reflected in the mirror." 629: 1329:
trick by a male actor on a female subject, which she sees as founding a certain cinematographic vision of women. She notes that this "cliché" is part of a theatrical magic tradition, and suggests that illusionists who make their female assistants disappear were complying with a tradition that is not arbitrary, but that they were "articulating a discourse on attitudes towards women": by making them disappear or reappear at will, the illusionists "demonstrate their power" over them; by dematerializing and "decorporanting" them, they reduce them to the rank of spirits, with an unfathomable mystery. Fischer further suggests that this "masculine need to exert his power" reflects an opposite sentiment: "if our male magician was so sure of his power over women, why should he subject us ceaselessly to repeated demonstrations of it?"
644:. Michael Leja observes that, as the 1898 poster for this circus shows, spectators at these entresorts were contained behind barriers and forced to observe the illusions head-on: Roltair's illusions were designed for a mass audience in entresorts, they were fixed, continuous installations rather than performances, and they were not characterized by the skill of a prestidigitator, they were "spectacular illusions and not the performances of an illusionist". Leja also notes that the success of Roltair's illusions highlights the versatility of the notion of illusionism in the late nineteenth century: it was as much about "realistic deception" as "frank fantasy", with the term illusion marking "fields of experience in which the distinctions between true and false, real and unreal, fact and fantasy were carefully obscured". 1481:. According to Harris, "Barnum understood that the possibility of debating the falsity , of understanding how the deception came about, was basically as interesting a subject as the presentation of authentic curiosities". Leach points out that American tricksters of the 1890s "manipulated materials, technologies, ideas, objects and other people to create impressions, illusions, phantasmagoria and machines"; and that "not only did the American expect artifice and deception, but they also consciously looked behind the stage (or behind the machine) to try to understand how they had been deceived". As Michael Leja and Tom Gunning also point out, the success of optical illusions and early cinema in late nineteenth-century America was not necessarily due to naiveté, but rather to a fascination with the mechanisms at work. 809:, Charles Morton claimed authorship. Since 1887, Morton had been head window dresser at Weinstock's department store in Sacramento, and was a regular contributor to Baum's magazine, as well as being president of the American Association of Window Dressers. Morton's work included a sensational animation for the central window of the Sacramento store in 1891. In 1891, for example, he designed a sensational animation for the Sacramento store's central window: the floor would suddenly open and a huge rose would emerge; the petals would slowly spread and a little girl, dressed as a fairy and holding a magic wand in her hand, would emerge and flutter around, trying on hats and including products in her little show, then after about twenty minutes she would re-enter the rose, which would sink back down into the floor. 922:"He spreads a large-format newspaper, the Times, on the stage floor. On this newspaper he places a chair of some kind; on this chair he seats a young woman, his own; he covers the subject with a light, almost transparent silk, which he drapes tightly over her, molding her from head to toe. The operation lasts scarcely a few seconds, after which t he operator, in the midst of a gloomy silence, under the glare of all eyes anxiously focused on the narrow space where he is maneuvering, takes hold of the fabric between his two forefingers and two thumbs, blows on it with force, violently removes it and... neither seen nor known. No more woman! The newspaper has not moved a line, and on its four feet, whose footprints are unchanging, the chair alone appears, empty of its elegant burden!" 262:, a sixty-page monthly magazine for window dressers that he considered an art journal. It was illustrated with numerous photographs, many taken by Baum. The following year, in 1898, he founded the first national association of window dressers, which quickly grew to two hundred members making him a nationally recognized authority on the subject, long before he became even more notorious for his books for children. Baum explains to his readers that the function of a shop window is not to illuminate the interior, but to sell the products. One of the first pieces of advice he gives his readers is to hire an actor, playing the role of a wealthy flâneur, who, by stopping in front of the window to observe it, will attract the imitation of other passers-by. 1369:
simultaneously became the object of visual "consumption" by male flâneurs and, as flâneuses, the "foragers" of the "phantasmagoria" produced for them in the windows of department stores, the latter simultaneously offering them a "safe place" of consumption sheltered from male covetousness. Friedberg also points out that Baum's conception of the shop window, illustrated by his praise of the Vanishing Lady installation, is based on a "clear analogy" with the cinema screen: "the shop window delimits a picture; by putting it behind glass and making it inaccessible, it arouses desire it succeeds the mirror as a place for the construction of identity, then - gradually - it is displaced towards and incorporated into the cinema screen".

constitute the "essential tool" of the window dresser, "a machine that simultaneously attracts the gaze of passers-by and directs it towards the products on display" by telling them a "legible story". Despite Baum's assertion that mechanical devices sell products, he nevertheless acknowledges, at least implicitly, according to Culver, that there may be an "impossibility of maintaining the additional presence of theatrical machinery properly in the service of the needs of commerce", as these devices primarily promote themselves. Culver sees an admission of this when Baum recommends that window dressers advertise their forthcoming mechanical windows in advance, for example by displaying a sign saying: "Watch this window".
1500:"dramatizes the relationship between consumer desire and modern beliefs about human identity" and is "a unique, perhaps even bizarre, attempt to explain how the mannequin works in advertising art by representing the conditions under which it might come to life", "not because it possesses some crucial spiritual qualities, but rather because it feels a certain desire". Culver likens this problem to that of the window dresser, for whom the mannequin is "a mechanical substitute designed to arouse the consumer's desire and steer him in the direction of a certain product category", a substitute that will only work if it projects the image of a complete body while representing its lack and without erasing its desire. 1128:
to conceal something else: maintaining the spatial frame allows us to believe in temporal continuity, in the fact that the trick is actually performed over an uninterrupted minute, while concealing the existence of trickery by substitution and editing. By drawing the viewer's gaze to the newspaper on the floor, Méliès is no longer trying to conceal the existence of a trapdoor, but rather the traces of gluing between shots, located in the upper part of the screen. As Tom Gunning sums up, Buatier's apparent fidelity to the conventions of illusion is not the sign of a kind of primitive servility, but rather a carefully constructed new illusion designed to conceal the cinematographic process at work.

displays can be counted among the cultural phenomena symptomatic of turn-of-the-century American mass culture, centered on the justification of amusement for its own sake". Maxwell adds that "theater, vaudeville, ballrooms, circuses, amusement parks and storefronts all contributed to a mass culture characterized by audience participation, mechanical amusements, exotic settings and a sense of wonder". She concludes that "far from highlighting a culture based on the acceptance and promotion of greed, the shop windows reveal a consumer culture intertwined with a sense of artistry and a taste for amusement, functioning as much as a form of popular entertainment as a form of advertising".

within the framework of a scenic device specially designed for the purpose, of which the illusion showcase is the heir. As James Cook notes, the opposition between illusionism and prestidigitation at the end of the 19th century encompassed several aspects: disenchantment, an explicit detachment from the supernatural, the apprehension of illusionism as a form of scientific research, and a preference for urban public amusements over those traditionally confined to a more intimate circle. The aesthetics of illusionism were also central to the development of cinema styles and techniques, which it influences in parallel with showcase art and shares some of the latter's issues.
1014:"Against the matte black background of the stage, we could see the bust of a living woman, resting on an escarpolette held in place by very shiny metal chains is quite simple. The woman, whose bust rested on a mannequin simulating the part of the body that extends from the chest to the waist, was lying almost horizontally on a kind of hammock that could follow the oscillations of the escarpolette. But this whole part of her body was hidden by the matte-black draperies that formed the backdrop to the scene, made more obscure by contrast with the shiny chains of the escarpolette. The latter, like the bust, was brightly." 1389:"On the one hand, it attempts to contain the female body by controlling its mobility. On the other hand, it attempts to contain the female body by controlling its mobility, dismembering it and securing it on one foot to reassure spectators that this woman, elusive as she seems to be, isn't going anywhere. But on the other hand, the show simultaneously participates in a misogynistic discourse that fantasizes the complete eradication of all women. The fate of the lower part of her body has already been settled, and each new disappearance implies that what's left of the body will follow the same fate as the legs." 781:, described by Stuart Culver as a "drama of desire captivating passers-by". According to Baum, it constitutes an "amplification" of the illusion previously described. André Gaudreault, who uses the term "attraction" to characterize early cinema, recalls that as early as 1835, this term was used to designate what "attracts and fascinates the public", before more specifically denoting fairground entertainment, in particular merry-go-rounds. He identifies certain "attractional modalities" that characterize optical attractions, and which were all aspects of this amplification: rotation, repetition and circularity. 1006:, Buatier filed a patent in France in November 1886 fora new way of appearing and disappearing spectres or other real beings, based on the use of a uniform, dark drapery on all stage walls, floor and ceiling. This patent was used in December of the same year in a show given in London entitled Modern Black Magic, to which several authors trace the modern practice of "black theater", based on the two techniques of background masking (an object becomes invisible because it is hidden behind a mask of the same material as the background) and background blending (the mask is invisible because it is camouflaged). 1394: 134:
consumption, were transforming their appearance and adopting new technologies that emphasized color and light, thanks in particular to the use of glass and electricity. As William Leach points out, mirrors of all kinds made their appearance, helping to create an illusion of abundance by infinitely multiplying the reflection of goods and customers. Additionally, exterior window displays were enhanced by the use of color and electric lighting, which benefited from new glass manufacturing techniques that enabled the production of less expensive, larger, stronger, and clearer panes.

ever compiled for window dressers. From 1893 onwards, Harry Harman published the first American periodical entirely dedicated to window dressers in Louisville. Emily Orr observed that the trade was then almost exclusively male. She noted a gendered dichotomy between male producers of window displays and female consumers of the products displayed there. This development of the art of display was part of a boom in product presentation techniques that lasted until the late 1890s, including the artistic poster, the painted billboard, and the electric sign. Arthur Fraser was hired by
675: 507:"It consists of a beautiful young woman whose lower body is invisible to the spectators and whose upper body seems to rest on a pedestal and have an independent existence. The effect of the illusion is very striking. It is produced in a very simple manner: A wooden pedestal is arranged according to the diagram , the upper part consisting of a hollow bowl resting on a solid pilaster and a sufficient portion of the upper part of the bowl being cut away, so as to allow the young woman who is part of the illusion to stand behind the pilaster and in the upper part of the pedestal." 85:
combined with references to the film industry, which was emerging at the time, using well-known illusions. This convergence indicates the technical exchange that existed at the time between the performing arts, cinema, and shop window design. It raises the question of whether the consumers of urban spectacle at the time were naive or fascinated by the processes used. Baum's interest in this attraction also reveals the connection between this commercial aspect of his work, before he gained recognition as a specialist in children's fairy tales, and his later works, particularly

spectacle not only of monstrosities and oddities, but also of trickery and optical illusions, with the "American Museum" founded in 1841 by Phineas Taylor Barnum becoming one of the country's most popular attractions. In this regard, Courtine evokes Walter Benjamin's analysis of the development of the "pilgrimage of merchandise", particularly in the context of universal exhibitions such as the one in Chicago in 1893, which, along with the entresorts, form a moment in the development of the "pleasure industry", between the funfair and the film industry.
1303:. This trickery, borrowed from Méliès who himself adapted black theater techniques to the cinema, is for Ann Morey "the richest promise of fantasy because its effect is not cancelled out by the everydayness of the American landscape that clouds our perception of the 'reality' of Oz". At the same time, it expresses a dependence on outdated visual codes: looking directly at the audience, it is closer to the "premier" cinema of pre-1906 than to the narrative cinema of its time. Morey also notes that this emblem betrays a form of genre confusion: 114: 176: 27: 699: 1307:"Ozma's head, toasting and welcoming the audience, is the best possible example of the ambiguity of Baum's films. Because she is a woman and looks directly at the camera, her image promises an exhibitionist spectacle. However, the incomplete nature of this image neutralizes this project by suggesting a kind of child without a body, a figure so innocent that it has no bodily form at all, leaving nothing for those hoping for an exhibition to examine - or rather, leaving them with only a magical image that modifies their pleasure." 1037: 687: 570: 663: 722: 651: 770: 711: 859: 872: 1317: 932: 164: 1454: 730:
table. In "The Devil's Head on a Fork", Satan's head rests on one of two prongs. "The Living Mermaid" evokes the famous Fiji Mermaid, showing a woman's bust attached to that of a fish in a jar. "Nuit et Matin" shows a man's trunk emerging from the lower part of a skeleton. "La Nymphe d'eau" shows a woman's bust emerging from a fountain. Finally, located in the center of the room, "Bluebeard's Room", shows Bluebeard seated, facing seven severed and bloody female heads.
740: 1465:, Baum points out that "the time has come to renew the genre of the fairy tale", that "contemporary children seek only entertainment in fairy tales", and that this work "aspires to be a modernized fairy tale". William Leach considers that one of the main components of this modernization, along with the anchoring in New Thought and the importance of the role assigned to color, is the use of the trickster figure, widely diffused in the United States at the time 1025: 293: 613: 850: 525: 309: 1209: 559: 207: 547: 982: 1065: 496: 247: 1273:"This gesture, which would later be seen as spoiling the realistic illusion produced by cinema, then brilliantly establishes contact with the audience. From the grimacing of actors towards the camera to the constant curtsies and gesticulations of conjurers in magic films, this cinema flaunts its visibility and accepts to sacrifice the apparent autonomy of the fictional universe if it allows it to solicit the spectator's attention." 905: 452: 432: 793: 788:"It occupies only a small space in the center of the showcase, showing only the bust and head of a pretty young woman, supported by a slender pedestal topped by a large bowl. Below the waist, the young woman is not visible; at the same time, you can see all around the pedestal, which is supported by two large sandbags. When the young woman rises, a bolt wedges the beam, to prevent the platform from flying off." 1101:
both narratively (notably with the skeleton sequence) and technically: not only does Méliès use the substitution trick rather than a trapdoor, but he maintains the shape of the veil for a few seconds before lifting it to reveal the disappearance, emphasizing that the newspaper is a real newspaper and the chair has a real back, thus creating a sense of strangeness for viewers familiar with Buatier's process:

are doubly determined as non-magicians, in that they are salaried helpers and do not belong to the rarefied circle of magicians within which knowledge is shared and transmitted, and in that they are determined in magical performance as hypnotized, asleep, unconscious or empty-minded - literally as lacking the intellectual means to perform the magician's work"
1246: 233:. In 1888, L. Frank Baum opened Baum's Bazaar, a low-priced goods store in Aberdeen, South Dakota, modeled after Woolworth's, which was founded in 1879 in Utica. By 1891, a Dakota economic recession led him to move to Chicago and take a job as a salesman. He often helped rural hardware dealers improve the presentation of the products they were selling. 126: 5516:

screen". More generally, she believes that the elisions created by illusion open up the question of what might have been lost to view: "the spectacle of disappearance is politically useful because it intimates a greater visual acuity on the part of the spectator, arousing anxiety and curiosity about the status of other people's bodies."
