HER MAGIC

what can she do for you?

Close-Up Magic
make it personal
“How did you do that?!”
That’s how to measure success.
Close-up magic is the kind of intimate entertainment that happens directly at the tips of the spectators’ noses, under the close scrutiny of disbelieving eyes, and even, sometimes, in the very hands of the audience members. There’s an added layer of wonder that comes from the spontaneity of this kind of “pop-up” performance. It’s intriguing. It’s surprising. It’s personal. And it’s fun!
That’s what she does. Julie’s vibrant personality and true passion for her art radiate throughout her performances. Audiences take delight in her skillful sleight of hand; and clients know they can count on her to deliver solid, professional entertainment—every time.

What’s her story?

“I wasn’t delivered by a stork, I was pulled out of a hat.”

Julie Eng was literally born into the world of magic.

Her father, Tony Eng, a famed magician on the West Coast of Canada, also had a magic shop for many years in Victoria, BC, called Tony’s Trick and Joke Shop. Julie grew up learning and performing magic side-by-side with her father, and behind the counter of the shop, and emerged from this family apprenticeship an accomplished magician in her own right.

Julie Eng has brought her original magical approach to thousands of performances around the world for over three decades—everywhere from expected venues like small private functions, festivals, and conventions, to less-obvious ones at senior centers and children’s hospitals.

As the executive director of Magicana, a Toronto-based organization dedicated to the exploration and advancement of magic, Julie has also been steeped in the study of the rich history and applications of the often-misunderstood art.

Working in the community and sharing wonder.

Since 2006, Julie Eng has been working with Magicana—a Canadian cultural arts organization dedicated to the exploration and advancement of magic as a performing art. Starting her tenure as the director of programming and administration, Julie was also one of the founding magicians who developed My Magic Hands, a community outreach program for at-risk youth. She was also instrumental in launching Senior Sorcery, an interactive live magic program designed to engage and empower isolated seniors in their homes and community centres.

In 2008, Julie was appointed Magicana’s executive director and currently serves in this position.

The breadth of Magicana’s programming keeps Julie busy and well-connected with magic and its community. Projects include: producing conventions to forward the study and exploration of magic and its history; curating and hosting online exhibitions on magic legends; publishing books and journals on magic and its history; and staging theatrical performances for the public.
