Tom Mullica was born Thomas Blaine Mullica in Waupun, Wisconsin on August 19, 1948. When Tom was five years old, he wanted to be a clown. However, on his seventh birthday his mother bought him a "Sneaky Pete Magic Kit" for Christmas.
After he graduated from Waupun High School in 1966, he enlisted in the Army at age 18, serving 3 years in Korea and Germany. Once he had finished his military service he moved to Colon, Michigan, where he built illusions and demonstrated magic for Abbott's Magic Company.
Tom then moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he attended bartending school and opened his own nightclub called The Tom-foolery Magic Bar Theater which was open from 1976 until 1987.
Red Skelton visited the Tom-foolery in 1980 and they became fast friends. After the closure of Tom-foolery Tom asked Red for his advice, and Red suggested that Tom take his best material and perform it pantomime to music, which would eliminate any language barrier so that Tom could perform anywhere in the world. Tom took Red's advice and after six months of rehearsal moved to Paris, France where he worked at the Crazy Horse Saloon.
Tom returned to the United States in 1991 and continued his comedy magic career. In 1996, he began writing RED (a performance tribute) which he now performs in theaters throughout America and Canada.
In 2010, Tom was diagnosed with acute Myelogenous Leukemia.

I'm sure the act had much to do with his contracting acute myeloid leukemia.
