Xu Chao, a changing-face magician, performed with the
Chong Qing Sichuan Opera Troupe, at the Chinese Chamber
of Commerce 60th Narcissus Festival's
Splendor of China, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Face-changing first appeared in Sichuan Opera during the reign
of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795). Face-changing
was first used in a story about a hero who stole from the rich
to help the poor. When he was caught by feudal officials, he
changed his face to puzzle them and escaped as a result.
