============================================= Biography: (excerpt from "The Lost Papers of The Great Leon" Vol. 1, Issue 2, Magnus Mirabilis): Leon Harry Levy was born in New York in 1876 and became, during the dawn of the twentieth century, a leading performer in Vaudeville. The Great Leon would become one of the most talented, gifted performers in the world of magic. Leon, was gifted not only as an accomplished performing artist, but also as an inventive genius in the area of illusion. This was in addition to his acumen as a showman and a knack for promotion and marketing.
Early in his career, Leon married Edythe Packard (of the Packard car company family). Edythe became an integral part of Leon's show, as well as his life. Both Leon and Edythe were vivacious, beautiful people made for the stage. Leon was well known in the magic community, with many friends. Counted among those friends was Harry Blackstone Sr.
The Great Leon was an inventive mind. Throughout his career, and into his retirement, Leon continued to think about new illusions. Sometimes years went into bringing a new miracle into existence.
It is understandable then that Leon went to great lengths and was quite careful to register and patent his original work. In correspondence sent to both Variety and the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., Leon asks for and receives protective registration for all of the items he listed. Shrink and Shrunken, Fire and Water, The Miniature Haunted House, Ribbon Shot Through a Woman, Duck Tray, and The Doll House. ============================================
