About this act
Chinese Face Changing Magic is a magician from Sydney, New South Wales.
Bian Lian, or face changing, is a technique from Chinese Sichuan opera, and this Sydney act builds its set around it. Painted masks switch again and again as the performer moves through a sequence of stylised arm and head movements, changing the face faster than the eye can follow the trick. It sits within the magician category as a stage performance, and suits a multicultural or Asian-themed program.
