The Leath Technique.

Reviewed by Mark Edward,

I have just finished reading David Lees' "LEATH TECHNIQUE." Here is an excellent book for both the novice who wants to break into the highly lucrative (and appreciated) art of doing credible readings and also a valuable set of tools and suggestions that will help broaden the horizon for even the most seasoned psychic or reader. 

David is a full-time reader - so he knows what he is talking about.  Although he stays away from showing any obvious "trickery," (which isn't necessary in the believer context anyway) he offers the initiate a powerful progressive anagram that can be applied to quickly determine which of the various categories the average sitter will be likely to focus on. 

Without giving away the whole secret formula, it works to magically get you where you need to be with only a little effort. Very smart thinking. Hence, each letter in LEATH becomes part of this key.  Not only does David supply his "verbal no props version," but for the absolute beginner who may be hesitant to do any sort of "on their feet" style of approach, an excellent version using Tarot can easily be learned to get started. 

Once the basic concept is understood and practiced a few times, many other applications can be applied using whatever divination tools you wish.  I agree with the late Great Charles Cameron when he said “David should get this book out and in print, It's dynamite”. It will satisfy both the reader who wants to correctly answer a sitters' thought of question in a very convincing way, but also adds a level of accuracy in a way that would be totally acceptable to the magicians out there who can't live without some sure-shot something to "fall back on" for that feeling of ultimate security - and all this without recourse to clip boards, center- tears or any other gimmicks.

Buy this book and you will learn a lot.  Down to earth, common sense and compassionate ways to HELP PEOPLE is David's stated goal and I agree with him in this and also when he says that if it takes a trick of the mind or a little verbal dancing to get there - it's worth it for both the reader and the sitter... THAT’S what they come to us for!  Thanks again to David for the sparkling insights and the best of times we all shared in Edinburgh, Cheers!  In Magick, Mark Edward.
