As noted in your text, Georges Méliès was a magician who would become a filmmaker. Méliès noticed that by using the camera's ability to stop and start again, he could achieve magical effects such as making something disappear or transform into something else. While the Lumière brothers focused on realism and documenting their world, Méliès is the father of film fantasy.
The Conjuror (1899) And yes, Méliès is the magician in the film.
The Hilarious Posters (1907)
A Trip to the Moon (1902) This is the first science fiction film.
