Leonard Greenfader (1919 - 2009) was an influential magician in New York City during the last half of the twentieth century.
Biography
He was a big influence in helping create a community of magicians who supported the local magic clubs. Greenfader was a very active participant at all club events and ran the IBM Labs and SAM workshops. He was also chairman of the admission committees of both clubs.
Greenfader could often be found at the "Cafeteria", a very informal gathering of magicians in New York City which would regularly include David Roth, Harry Lorayne, Darwin Ortiz, Gene Maze and Murray Celwit.
