Legacy, Legends, & Lies by Lee Earle – A Mentalism Journey

Legacy, Legends, & Lies is a captivating 251-page exploration of Lee Earle’s remarkable journey from a young magician to a world-renowned mentalist and international lecturer. Packed with history, wisdom, and performance gold, this book offers both inspiration and practical tools for performers and enthusiasts alike.

Mentored by iconic names such as Burt Easley, Danny Dew, Arnold Furst, and Harry Anderson, Earle’s early career was full of bold decisions: launching his own illusion show at 19, performing in the last days of burlesque at 21, and pioneering entirely new circuits for performers.

As the editor and publisher of SYZYGY – The Journal of Contemporary Mentalism, Earle became a central figure in the art, while his lecture tours took him across the globe—from London to Sydney, Hong Kong, and throughout North America and Europe. His reputation as a top-tier performer and educator was solidified by these experiences.
