John Hreha – Tacoma Legend |
Johnny Hreha began his career in magic at a young age, saving money to purchase tricks from the Vernon Lux Magic Studios in Mount Morris, Ill. He became enthralled with the art after seeing Blackstone, Sr. at the Temple Theatre in Tacoma and recalled the billing of “America’s No. 1 magician with his bevy of beauties.”
Blackstone provided Hreha an autographed copy of the program and he cherished it and the memory of the show.
As part of a National Safety Week campaign, he drove a 1954 Mercury from Olympia to Tacoma while blindfolded.
He studied his craft and learned the methods necessary to put on a first class show.
In 1948, while a sophomore atLincoln High School, Hreha and a few magic pals formed Tacoma Ring No. 70 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
Our prayers are with his family and friends. Magic was blessed to have such a caring, dedicated representative.
