Museum of Surrey hosts "Mandrake the Magician" exhibit
Click through and scroll to the end of the CBC article to listen to Lon Mandrake chat about his father to Stephen Quinn.
From the February 28th post "World-renowned Mandrake the Magician star of new exhibition at Surrey, B.C., museum" by CBC News:
Lon Mandrake has teamed up with Museum of Surrey staff to pay tribute to his famed father, who died in 1993, in a new exhibition that is open to the public until May 16.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see magical tools of the trade like Leon's decks of cards and magic wand, posters from performances, comics from that era and costumes belonging to Mandrake the Magician and his assistant, Lon's mom Velvet.
"My dad's philosophy of life was really interesting. It made for a very happy, very happy family," said Mandrake. "He always said, you know, magic could stimulate a sense of wonder about the world... that sense of excitement of the unknown leads you to find, you know, life more interesting."Read more and listen to Stephen Quinn speak with Lon Mandrake.

Julie Eng in the Asian panel (ep 78) of Shezam and Sleightly Sketchy (Where are you from?)
Listen to episode 78 of Shezam where Kayla Drescher hosts a panel who talk about their experiences being performers of Asian descent. Topics include cultural appropriation, micro-aggressions, and the use of "exotic" props. The panelists who admirably navigate these complex and nuanced topics are: Felice Ling, Makoto Halverson, Ed Kwon, Courtney Pong, and Julie Eng.
As the third generation in my family to be born in Canada, we're very familiar with the conversation that begins with the question, "Where are you from?"
