Who was Al Leech? From Magicpedia:

Alfred B. Leech ( October 19， 1918 – July 7， 1974) was born in Washington D.C， but moved to Chicago at a young age. He became a journalist by profession and a cardician at heart. He was involved with the magic scene in Chicago during the 1940s & 1950s. According to some accounts， he was as well-regarded as Marlo in his time in the Windy City. In the late 1950s， he moved to New York， where he came in contact with men like Dai Vernon， Harry Lorayne and Frank Garcia. He was publicity chairman for the first combined IBM/SAM convention. One of Al Leech’s signature effects was the popular card trick Red Hot Mama.
