836: Julie Eng - My Life in Magic
If you are a magic collector or you have attended one of the recent MAGIC Live! conventions, then no doubt you have seen, met or otherwise know Julie Eng. She is the executive director of Magicana, a Toronto-based organization dedicated to the exploration and advancement of magic. She is also the editor of Magicol, the “house organ” of Magicana that’s filled with delightful stories from noted authors about the rich history of our art.

Not only learning magic, but also a strong work ethic and marketing skills necessary to be the successful magician she is today. Enough has been said about women in magic that there should be no separation between a female and male magician. But when you also throw in her Asian cultural background, then the “elephants in the room” must be addressed, which it is in this week’s episode.
