《大偽術爸》 Pa Pa Magician

Magic is to turn illusion to reality, not from reality to fantasy. We thought it was real, eventually it is a misunderstanding of the illusion…

A father, an excellent magician in town and the leader of his family, always creates before his audience and family an impossible wonder one after another. The magician father disappears after performing in a big magic show that rockets him to fame, leaving his wife and three children to barely keep the wolf from the door.

The elder son, who has inherited a love for magic from his father, decides to participate in a magic competition after the death of his mother. One day, the father suddenly appears in front of the children, bringing a glimmer of hope to the family. The elder son rockets to fame by vanishing the renowned landmark “Statue of Leader” during the competition, sending panic to the town. He was arrested for the magic, but the whereabouts of “Statue of Leader” is still a mystery. Meanwhile, the magician father disappears without a trace again…

Award-winning playwright Farmer Hong and Chung Ying’s Assistant Artistic Director Edmond Lo work together again in this play after The Big Big Day and Go Go Ghost. The original scheduled performances at Hong Kong Cultural Centre have been cancelled due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease. The play will now be presented and broadcast live on Facebook in the form of reader’s theatre.

Could magic bring wonder to this “home”?
