The shop was opened in 1886 by Tam Shepherd[4] before being operated by the Walton family.[5] [6]

In 2017, the shop was identified as Glasgow's favourite business at the Glasgow Business Awards.[7] In 2018, the shop hosted the Good £uck art exhibition as part of Glasgow International 2018.[8]

The shop was credited by Jerry Sadowitz for sparking his interest in magic.[9] It was owned by Roy Walton until his death in 2020.[5] Walton managed the shop from 1969 to 2019 before handing management over to his daughters Julia and Sarah.[6]
