For the amateur English magician and illustrator, see Eric Mason (1921-1986).

The Great Masoni (d.1977) was a British magician who was married to a Miss Wong Tai Shan. He began performing before World War I.

Masoni toured with a full evening show and later with a tour billed as "Maskelyne's Mysteries", a show he acquired from Jasper Maskelyne.

With his wife, they developed a two-person memory demonstration act.
