Who were cinema's early adopters‪?‬ Acting Funny

Movies are magic. That may be why magicians had a surprisingly influential role to play in the earliest days of film. Host Shane Rhyne has a conversation with Dr. Matthew Solomon from the University of Michigan about the life of Georges Méliès and the influences of magic and magicians on early comedy. Shane also talks with magician and comedian Erik Tait (as seen on CW's Penn & Teller: Fool Us) about how comedy and magic still work together today.
