Summary

Pathe synopsis: Maurice Fogel makes a flying visit to the Pwllheli holiday camp, by their cable car that gives a unique view of the North Wales coast, but for him magic happens every day - he’s one of the country’s top illusionists. You may think everyone’s having us on but the campers that take part in his tricks aren’t in the act and really do have to do exactly what Fogel tells them. Mesmerism or mind-over-matter they can’t move from their seats when he tells them they’re stuck. But his greatest feat of all is to levitate a table even with the campers holding it down. Nearly as good as some of the tricks our cameraman played on Fogel by way of the last word ...
