Booth]], featuring a magician using his magic to aid an ailing girl at the request of her brother. The film, "is rather less elaborate in terms of special effects than the other films that W.R. Booth and R.W. Paul made the same year," but, according to Michael Brooke of [[Screenonline|BFI Screenonline]], "provides an excellent illustration of how effects used sparingly can often have more impact, especially when set in a suitable emotional context."<ref name="BFIso01">{{cite web |title=The Waif and the Wizard |first=Michael |last=Brooke |url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1016059/ |work=BFI Screenonline Database |date= |accessdate=2011-04-24 }}</ref>
