Willie's Magic Wand is a 1907 British short silent comedy film, directed by Walter R. Booth, featuring a young boy terrorising the household with his father's magic wand. Similar to "earlier trick films The Haunted Curiosity Shop and Undressing Extraordinary (both 1901)," this is, according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "essentially a series of [loosely linked] special-effects set pieces," however, "the print in the National Film and Television Archive is incomplete, omitting amongst other things a come-uppance where Willie is punished for his misdemeanours by being turned into a girl, thus depriving him of more than one magic wand." A clip from the film is featured in Paul Merton's interactive guide to early British silent comedy How They Laughed on the BFI website.

- Willie's Magic Wand è un cortometraggio muto del 1907 diretto da Walter R. Booth. La magia fu da subito un'inesauribile fonte di ispirazione per il nascente cinema, perché capace di soddisfare la richiesta di effetti speciali e stupire gli spettatori. Qui si associa ad un altro tema ricorrente fin dalle prime comiche, quello del bambino dispettoso. È la stessa formula che sarà poi usata da Walt Disney nel 1940 in Fantasia nel celebre episodio de L'Apprendista Stregone. Non si conosce il nome dell'attore bambino qui protagonista. (it)
