La Guirlande merveilleuse, sold in the United States as The Marvellous Wreath and in Britain as The Marvellous Hoop, is a 1903 French silent trick film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 445–448 in its catalogues.[1]

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]
