Tony and Ferdinand, the dynamite duo of the Fercos, are brothers who originally came from Czechoslovakia when it was a communist country and for years they told audiences "and to get out of Czechoslovakia you had to be a real Magician!" They came from a theatrical family and from the time they were small children they were performing difficult acrobatic feats with their parents and three sisters, an act that brought them many awards as they traveled and performed all over Europe. It was then that they perfected the ‘russian swing’ a platform that swung and threw them into the air while performing aerial feats that no one at the time was able to master. Then to add to their talents they became accomplished jugglers, with Tony as one of the most amazing jugglers in the world and his talent took him into the Guinness Book of Records. It was at one of these performances that they met the famous Frederic Apcar who wasted no time in hiring them for his spectacular show "Casino de Paris" at the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. They came to America and eventually became citizens and while working at the Dunes Hotel began their incredible journey to becoming the finest Illusionists in the world working with exotic animals. After leaving the Dunes Hotel they went on to perform at Harrah's Hotel in Reno and Harrah's Hotel Atlantic City. They were then asked to star in a show at the Club 78, which was the location of the original Lido, in Paris, France. Next they starred in a show at the famous five-star hotel, casino, theater, the Genting Highlands, in Malaysia. It was there that they decided to begin producing shows of their own and went back to Paris to begin production. Their show traveled to Tel-Aviv, Israel, Belgium, Nice, France, Austria, Spain, and Italy. At this time they realized they had spent enough time in Europe and wished to perform once more in the United States. Their success in Europe was brought to the attention of Donn Arden who hired them to star in his famous extravaganza "Hello, Hollywood, Hello" at the Bally's Hotel in Reno. After a year of success in Bally's Hotel they went on to star in Ice Capades in their 50th Anniversary show that toured the United States and the cities of Toronto and Montreal in Canada. After that contract, they once again wished to produce their own Magic show and were asked to produce a show for the Greenery Exposition in Osaka, Japan. From there the show went into the Sheraton Walker Hill Hotel in Seoul, Korea and then to The New Fugiya Hotel in Atami, Japan. They then returned to the United States and were very happy to be starring in "Masters of Illusions" at the Grand Casino Hotel Theater in Biloxi, Mississippi. It is there they thrilled audiences nightly with their astounding illusions and their beautiful Tigers, Lions, Black Leopards, and the wonderful talent of The Fercos. They have continued to entertain audiences in the United States and adapted their show to younger audiences for certain venues such as Dolly Parton’s Great Smoky Mountain Amusement Park – Dollywood. In addition to performing in the States they have also embarked on a new 2007 & 2008 tour in Central and South America.
