Richard Barrs
BornJune 12, 1919
Surrey, England

Richard Barrs, son of semi-pro magician Percy Barrs, won a competition held at Maskelyne's Theatre St. George’s Hall on April 13, 1932, from fifty other juvenile competitors.[1]

This success at the age of 12, led to a professional engagement at that theatre.[2]

In 1946, Barrs played two weeks at the Olympia in Ireland with a card act, one of his features being the color-change of his waistcoat.[3]
