World's Oldest Magic Shop Closes After 138 Years in Glasgow

Tam Shepherd's Trick Shop shuts its doors due to redevelopment but plans to continue online.

Tam Shepherd's Trick Shop, established in 1886, has been a cornerstone for magicians and jokesters in Glasgow.
The shop's closure is attributed to a redevelopment project that will transform its building into student accommodation.
Despite the physical shop's closure, the business will continue to operate online, offering magic tricks and jokes.
The shop was renowned for its influence on magicians, including the late Roy Walton, who ran it for decades.
Plans for the new development include retail space, raising hopes for a potential future reopening.
