I read this expecting the Tempting Tattie to get a mention ☺️ whenever I walk past the shop it reminds of the old podcast days. Also shared your Camera Obscura chat with someone I know who works there, much excitement 😄

I worked at the Camera Obscura in 2006-7 and that patter and card gimmick are indeed familiar. Do they still mention Sean Connery's neighbourhood? Wasn't a fan of retail and cleaning, but giving those demonstrations was a highlight. I even attempted it in French a couple times (or at least the bits I could remember from Canadian Grade 10).
