Over the years, I purchased and took over stock holdings of many magic shops, either which had closed, or in the process of closing. The first, shortly after I opened my shop, was a mail order magic business in Wellington, operated by JOHN BRENNAN. After that came "PROFESSOR WOOFLEDUST MAGIC" (Wilf. Truman, Hamilton); HUGH RAY (Auckland); previously manager of Stewart's Studio of Magic in Wellington ANDRADE - ALLAN'S Shop, 276 Collins St, Melbourne; J.ABERT BRIGGS, Mascot, Sydney; GREEN FROG MAGIC (Jim Flemming), 27 Enmore Rd.
