Anton Kratky-Baschik (January 11, 1821 - August 28, 1889) was born in Kozlan, a little town in Bohemia. He started out as a harmonica player with his brother having great success. By 1850, he was performing magic in Germany working with Samuel Bellachini. In 1857, Kratky-Baschik started working with Bartholomeo Bosco in England.
In 1864, he built his own theater in Vienna where he performed for several months before he started going blind. He allowed others to appear in his place including Georg Heubeck and Ottokar Fischer.
