Lu Brent
(1903-?)
Born Boleslaw Lubrant, he became interested in magic through watching an older cousin perform, and began ordering magic catalogs just to look at. His father was convinced his interest in magic was the work of "the devil" and would burn his magic mail if he found it, but his mother hid it away and gave it to him secretly. After a stint in the Army, his interest in magic was born again and he visted magic shops, and met many famous magicians of his era. He was more of an originator than inventor, coming up with new ways to present other magicians' effects, and his books are filled with these ideas. Don't overlook his many cigarette tricks just because you don't smoke these days- the ideas can be adapted for many other possible effects.
