EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of June and Billy McComb, the dynamic husband and wife magic act that captivated audiences in the 1950s and 1960s. This extraordinary print captures a pivotal moment before their mesmerizing trick commences. The scene unfolds during a rehearsal for the renowned BBC TV show 'IT's Magic' at The Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London, back on November 6th, 1956. In this sequence of nine pictures, we witness June McComb playfully roasting her beloved husband live on television. Picture after picture reveals their astonishing illusion: June places Billy inside an aluminum coffin which she then sets ablaze. As it unfolds to reveal what appears to be his charred skeleton, anticipation fills the air. But fear not! Against all odds, Billy miraculously escapes unscathed. The joyous reunion takes place in pictures eight and nine as June tenderly kisses her resilient partner hello once again. Soot marks adorning his cheek serve as a testament to their triumphant performance. It is truly a happy ending that leaves spectators spellbound. This remarkable photograph by George Greenwell transports us back to an era when magic was alive with wonderment and mystique. Through this image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of the timeless allure of illusion and the enduring partnership between two exceptional performers.
