Billy McComb

McComb decided to develop a talent he had discovered at school as a magician and comedian. He made a name for himself in Ireland, and soon made his mark in London, in the West End cabaret scene.

He was one of the United Kingdom’s leading magicians in the 1950s and 1960s, before taking up residence in Los Angeles, California in the 1970s.

He was a personal favorite of this blog. We miss him dearly!

Take a moment to watch Billy McComb’s (last ever) television appearance.
