We went to see the one-man magic show, Fooling Buddha, at First Folio this weekend in the midst of our packing and moving. This had been a Valentine's gift to me from Amy. David Kovac was awesome. The show was a combination of personal stories, vaudevillian comedy, flawless juggling and legerdemain, all in the intimate setting of the First Folio Theatre, one of our great theatre treasures this side of Chicago.The show leaves the viewer with an odd feeling. You know you have just witnessed clever patter and elegant slight of hand, but the character is so good that he walks away making you wonder if there might be something more to it all beyond prestidigitation (how often does a fellow get to use such a great word?). He seemed like a character out of Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine. I could have watched it again immediately. Great showman.
