The Great Lester is known to be the grandfather of the modern ventriloquist. Ventriloquism that was practiced in the past was different from the type that people are doing right now. It used to be something that people do in order to reach those who are not among the living. Right now, modern ventriloquists use puppets in order to entertain people.
This is something that The Great Lester was able to show. He was born in Poland as Maryan Czajkowski but most people just know him by his stage name. A lot of ventriloquists say that they were inspired because of his acts and the things that he did during his prime.
