Today I'll fly to Glasgow to see Derren Brown's Svengali. I'd like to make this short trip as magic as possible. Is there any magic shop there I should visit?

Hi Miko there is only one its called Tam Shepards. They have a lot
Of decent stuff and you might catch Roy Walton if he is
In.

Tam Shepherd's Trick Shop
33 Queen Street
Glasgow
G1 3EF

Im going to see Derren Brown on Friday cant wait!

Yes - visit Tam Shepherd's. I can't think of a time I've been in that Roy Walton wasn't there, but he is usually in the back.

If you wanted to talk to him, it's probably worth asking if he's there.

Things must have changed over the years. I didn't even know there was a "back". I never remember a single time that Roy was not there when I visited. In fact he was the only staff member in the shop. That shop must be one of the oldest in Britain. It has been there for decades. Even in the UK people don't realise it is a branch of Davenports.

He is a very nice chap. He is always happy to demo and give advice.

Back as in the back shop - behind the scenes - not at the counter. It's still the same shop layout it's been for years.

Miko if your still in town tomorrow im going to Tam Shepards and having dinner before
Going to see DerrenBrown, your welcome to join us before hand

Craigie, thanks for the link!
I'm going to Glasgow in a month, so that would be nice to visit this place!

Thanks everybody for the answers! I hadn't my computer with me, so I could not answer early, but I read the post and visited Tam Shephard's (quite briefly, for the sake of my bank account). I must say that visiting an actual shop is so more fascinating than buying online...

Craigie, sorry but I spent only haf a day in Glasgow. Enjoy the show, tonight. Maybe next time. I really would have liked meeting someone from the forum...
