Legacy, Legends, & Lies is a riveting 251-page jaunt through the life of Lee Earle, who somehow managed to go from a spotty young magician to a globally recognised mentalist and lecturer (no pressure, right?).
Under the watchful eyes of legends like Burt Easley, Danny Dew, Arnold Furst, and even Harry Anderson, Earle was doing bold stuff early on: he kicked off his own illusion show at the ripe old age of 19, dabbled in burlesque at 21, and even had the audacity to create a new performing circuit. (We see you, Earle!)
As the mastermind behind SYZYGY - The Journal of Contemporary Mentalism, he etched his name as a top-notch mentalist, gallivanting across cities like London, Sydney, Hong Kong, and basically any place that has an airport and a decent stage.
A member of the National Speakers Association, Earle didn’t stop there. He whipped up engaging workshops on intuition and memory that were as enlightening as they were entertaining (and we all know how rare that is).
This book lays bare his entire after-dinner show, designed for national corporations, with all the intricate details laid out like a well-prepared magic trick. Plus, he spills the beans on his innovative approach to the question & answer act, along with a treasure trove of lecture material that’s never seen the light of day before (and yes, it’s as juicy as it sounds).
The saga wraps up with his legendary partnership with the one and only Larry Becker in Mentalism Unlimited, which turned the mentalism world on its head. This whirlwind tour of Earle’s escapades is an absolute must-read for anyone remotely curious about the enchanting—and occasionally bonkers—world of mentalism.
