715: Paul Stone - No Stone Unturned

Paul Stone has been a mainstay in the world of magic without gaining the true notoriety he deserves because of his work behind the scenes. Paul is the driving force behind his company, SHOWSTEALERS LLC. Paul is an experienced Producer of hundreds of Corporate Events and Shows, amongst them in the UK include shows at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, Her Majesty’s Theatre and 18 shows at the world famous London Palladium Theatre, including the widely acclaimed ‘Tribute to Siegfried & Roy at the London Palladium’ in 2008. Paul has produced Shows in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace, Mirage, Harrahs, Orleans and the Suncoast Hotel & Casino.

The working pros know him and go to him when they need help producing a gala event. Not only a producer, Paul is also a trade show performer and creator of magic tricks such as “Overboard” which is a quality prop with endless possibilities and is in my personal trade show.

In this episode, Paul tells one story after another about Ken Brooke, Paul Daniels, Fred Kaps, Hans Moretti, John Fisher, Wayne Dobson, and so many others. As a producer who works behind the scenes on big events, he has all the great stories. From a young man in Liverpool to a grown man in Las Vegas, Paul has met and worked with all of the top magic names from one side of the pond to the other.

655: Mia Krejcik - The Great Escape

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.
