We are very excited to share another June McComb aka June Merlin clip with you on our vintage video series. If you have a source for more June footage please share. We understand that she performed a splendid dove act, but we haven't been able to locate or source a copy of that.
I agree Robert, I was excited to post this vintage footage. This is the last clip upload I have of June. I understand that she did a beautiful dove act, but I haven't found any footage of that.
She did so many things in a short time! She was such a beautiful and elegant magician! OMG! And doing magic with mice is unique! Never seen anyone else doing anything like that!
Really good to see the full version of this. The adverts and the links placed the clip nicely in the context of its time. Yes, June was an excellent magician and this was a good act; I particularly liked the manic leprechaun assistant. June's performance was flawless. Some of the effects have not been bettered. I'm sure that I remember seeing June starring in her own one hour special on the BBC TV shortly after she returned from the States. It would be lovely if anyone could unearth a tape of that, although, since it predated home VCRs and the BBC "reused" most of its tape stock, I think the chances are remote. Hope never dies, though. A big thank you, Connie, for making this available.
ciao Glyn, I'd love to share more of June's magic, but so far no luck sourcing it. It's so important to have a source for people to go to learn and view magic from the past and present. I very much appreciate your comments and support, thanks very much
