Lonely Planet review for Sideshow: The Old Curiosity Shop
In the tradition of rummage stores of earlier times, this shop aims not just to sell you stuff, but to dazzle you as well. It does so simply by stocking oddities you'd expect to encounter in a sideshow tent (two-headed ducks, skulls of mythological creatures, and other mind-bending items). You can also buy magician's supplies, snazzy decks of risqué playing cards and a bevvy of other guilty pleasures from another age.
It's owned and operated by Elizabeth Anderson, wife of actor Harry Anderson (himself a magician).
