Méliès plays the musketeer in the film, the main special effect of which is a closeup superimposed into a circular opening by multiple exposure; Méliès used a similar effect in Alcofrisbas, the Master Magician later that year. Other special effects in The Marvellous Wreath are worked using pyrotechnics, substitution splices, and dissolves.[2]
