We saw David Facer at the San Francisco Magic Parlor at the Chancellor Hotel, not knowing quite what to expect. He presents a show on paradox, mixing nicely done basic magic tricks (linking rings, cards, coins etc) with performance art - he creates strange, colorful characters (a mechanical man with very cool lights, a "dream dweller", etc) while engaging the audience (it's a small room and he invites several to help with the tricks). He is very likable and skilled and we enjoyed the one-man show.
