Ted Lesley is now out of the hospice and in a flat of his own. However, his situation was so grave before he went in, that some of his "friends" and relatives sought to help him by disposing of his props, library and all his personal property.

Now he has nothing.

Many of his books were bought by a prominent German magic dealer who promised him access to the "Ted Lesley Library," but this does not seem to be forthcoming.

I urge all of you who have connections in Germany, especially in Berlin, to let everyone you know in Germany know that Ted has been basically stripped of everything he needs to even consider performing.

If you want to know the identity of the dealer, please send me an e-mail
It is not Jedinat or Stolina magic. Jedinat would never do anything like that. I have never dealt with Stolina, but I understand they are a shop with high ethics.

I want to thank those who have responded off-list. Your thoughts and care are greatly appreciated.
