That would be Mr McKechnie there behind the counter.

"SHORTAGE OF MAGICIANS FOR CHRISTMAS PARTIES
Sydney was short or magicians and conjurors this Christmas, Mr. S. McKechnie, professionally known as "Weirdo," said yesterday.
'All 'wizards' are booked out until February next year," Mr: McKechnie added. Mr. McKechnie owns the "Weirdo" Magic Trick Shop, in Piccadilly Arcade, which is the headquarters of 12 men who entertain as "wizards, conjurors, and comperes."
"Many of them have to do three or four jobs an afternoon." said Mr. Mc Kechnie. "A shortage of 'wizards' can have a serious effect on the morale of the community. "Most of our key 'wizards' are in the Army and should be released for the Christmas season."

I recall the shop used to do a brisk trade to school kids for fake vomit and whoopee cushions, often as not for practical jokes in the class room!
