Synopsis:Hypnotist, Oliver Haddo, (Wegener), mesmerises Margaret Dauncey, (Terry), on the night of her wedding and carries her off to his laboratory in a castle where he plans to extract the blood from her heart to use in an ancient rite to reanimate a corpse and discover the secrets of life. She escapes with the aid of her fiance Dr. Arthur Burdon, (Petrovich), only to be lured back to the castle by the power of Haddo's mind.
Filmed at Rex Ingram's own studios in Nice, THE MAGICIAN's central character was based on the exploits of Alistair Crowley around which he weaved an artistic visual imagery. One scene shows Terry in a laboratory being wooed by a statue of Pan that comes to life played by a practically nude dancer named Stowitts.
James Whale studied the print before commencing on work for Frankenstein (1931), evident by the close similarity of the laboratory sets.
Although considered to be a lost film for many years prints are now available in German and English.
