In the 1980’s and 90’, the magic duo, Petrick and Mia, were everywhere. They were international stars appearing on television, casino showrooms, nightclubs, conventions and more. They also toured with Petrick’s lecture that included many original effects many of which that have been released on video. But in 2000 that all came to an end as the couple began moving apart both creatively and physically and their act was shelved.
Since that time, Mia Krejcik became a real estate agent in Las Vegas and was far outside of the magic community. Now that she is older, Mia is renewing many of the international friendships in magic she began many years ago.
In this week’s episode, Mia talks about first meeting Petrick and how they became a couple on stage and deciding to escape the country. She also .talks extensively about their harrowing escape from Communist Czechoslovakia to the free world and eventually settling in the United States.
