Al Leech Card Magic
Born on October 19, 1917, Alfred B. Leech was a professional journalist, corporate public relations executive, and highly regarded sleight-of-hand artist whose influence quietly extended through some of the finest card magic circles of the mid-20th century. A friend, student, and trusted confidante to leading cardmen in both Chicago and New York during the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s, Leech earned a reputation for his sharp thinking, practical construction, and deceptively clean handling of classic effects. Possessing a rare talent for refining technically demanding routines into streamlined, audience-tested miracles, Leech also contributed a number of original plots marked by clarity, subtlety, and strong entertainment value. He passed away on July 7, 1974, at the age of 56.
