Sharp’s Magic Movie House, Penny Arcade and Fudge Shop
If you are planning to visit the historic Port of Echuca, make sure to pop into Sharp’s Magic Movie House and Penny Arcade.
They have a
rare collection of old gaming machines, including “love match” testers,
strength testing machines, and the fortune teller, who doesn’t pull any punches
in his prophesies. You could be told that you “talk too much”, “can’t keep a
secret” or “lack in good sense”.
