A Mesmerian Experiment ( French: Le Baquet de Mesmer) is a 1905 French silent trick film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 693–695 in its catalogues. [1]

Méliès appears in the film Doctor Mesmer. The film has few illusions, and is mainly a vehicle for its troupe of dancers, identified in Méliès's American film catalogue as the "Snow-drops" of London's Alhambra Theatre of Variety. The film's technical effects were carried out with pyrotechnics and substitution splices. [2]
