Jules Lenier

Mr. Lenier was a magician, and this magician was in the top 10 most famous magicians, who branched out into writing his own books as a way to inform the world at large of his craft. Some of his most famous titles include The Complete Hypnotic Act (1974), From Lenier’s Lair (1977), and Mentalistic Follo II (1994).

An inspiration to many modern masters, Lenier was more a teacher than a practicing magician. He was an Associate Editor of Genii magazine in the late 1960s. He regularly contributed columns like Lennier's Lair and Knights from the Magic Castle. And like any great friend, he often Ghost wrote for Charlie Miller for Magicana Magazine when Miller was off performing on a cruise ship.

Lenier’s third and final wife Minnette Ella Gersh, a magician in her own right, used her skills similarly to her husband. She was a woman who taught stage magic as a means to improve kids’ reading, writing, and learning efficiency and aptitude.
