Abracadabra! Stories about Magic with Porchlight January 12, 2012

In this special, one-time-only Houdini-tribute edition of San Francisco’s popular Porchlight storytelling series, hosts Beth Lisick and Arline Klatte present a cast of magicians, musicians, laymen, and assistants, who brave the audience to confess first-hand accounts of brushes with magic. Storytellers include Stallion, a magic show maestro; and All Things Considered contributor Dayvid Figler.

Porchlight, now in its 8th year, is San Francisco's premier storytelling series. People from different backgrounds are invited to tell ten-minute true stories without using notes or memorization. Past storytellers include some of the area's most entertaining school bus drivers, mushroom hunters, politicians, socialites, sex workers, musicians, authors, systems analysts, and social workers.
