- The king of France receives a marvelous fan. The fan opens to reveal plain lace. This lace becomes pictures of women which then come to life an move in unison as their clothing changes.
- As a token of his appreciation to the well-beloved King Louis XV of France, a gifted artisan and renowned magician presents his latest creation, as a royal chamberlain followed by an assembly of eight male servants, unload a mysterious wooden box at the Palace of Versailles' broad and sunny imperial terrace. And just like that, the sensational curiosity is uncovered, revealing an enormous and magnificent folding fan composed of seven intricately-embroidered branches which house a septet of youthful ladies-in-waiting. Next, a beautiful minuet ensues, as the mesdemoiselles' costumes dissolve into fine noble ensembles. What an exquisite spectacle, worthy of an emperor.—Nick Riganas
- As a conjurer awaits an audience, a procession announces the arrival of a royal representative, carried in a sedan chair, to see him. The conjurer then has a large box brought in. It is opened, revealing a very large folding fan. When the fan is spread out, the designs on it begin to change and move. And this is far from the last of the surprises that the conjurer has in store.—Snow Leopard
