Chinese Canadian magician Tony Eng (1946-2008) was a beloved fixture in the Victoria, B.C. bar, restaurant, and entertainment scene for more than thirty years. His long list of accomplishments include running his own magic shop that was frequented by locals and tourists alike, establishing his unique magic show that drew inspiration from his Chinese heritage, and mentoring successive generations of up-and-coming magicians. On this episode, host Dr. Melissa Karmen Lee sits down with one of Tony’s mentees – Julie Eng, daughter of Tony and professional magician herself – to discuss the life and legacy of the man behind the magic.
The Magic of Tony Eng is on view now at the Chinese Canadian Museum’s Fan Tan Alley location in Victoria, B.C. To learn more about the Chinese Canadian Museum and book tickets, visit https://www.chinesecanadianmuseum.ca/
