Lecture at Edinburgh Magic Circle: 12 November 2007
Hi folks Yes, I know I haven’t posted for a wee bit, but things have been a little busy of late. I’ve got a few things I need to do posts about and hope to do so before too long. However, I thought I’d quickly mention that I am presenting my “A Force Much Greater […]
A new way to find me – www.thecardman.co.uk
Hi folks For ages, I’ve wanted to have a domain name with The Cardman in it. The perfect one for me would always be thecardman.co.uk but that was being held by someone else. Until recently. Last week, I discovered that thecardman.co.uk was available and now it is mine and is the new address where you […]
Video from FISM 2006
Hi folks While I was looking through YouTube over the last day or 2, I came across this video from Spanish TV that was filmed at last year’s FISM World Championships of Magic in Stockholm. I was part of the audience for this footage that was filmed in the lobby of the Convention Headquarters Hotel […]
2007 IBM British Ring Convention, Southport
Last week, I was in Southport for this year’s IBM British Ring Convention. The line up of talent on offer over the week was phenomenal with Lennart Green, Bill Malone, David Williamson, Boris Wild and Johnny and Pam Thompson (aka The Great Thomsoni and Co.) being just the tip of a very talented iceberg. I’m […]
Foo Fighters at T On The Fringe, 21 August 2007
I’m a bit of a Foo Fighters fan – not as much as I am a fan of REM, but I count myself as someone who will try to get to see them in concert if they’re in Central Scotland. Well, last Tuesday saw Foo Fighters performing at Meadowbank Stadium, Edinburgh as part of T […]

The Soundtrack of My Life
I’ve posted this on my “networking” sites – MySpace and Bebo – and it is a very interesting wee excercise to do. What happens is you put your ipod on shuffle and then answer the questions by writing down the tracks in the order they come up on. Some of these are really spooky!!!!! Opening […]
Derren Brown at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
I wanted to wait until Derren Brown’s tour, “Mind Reader – An Evening of Wonders”, was over before blogging this, just in case anyone reading this was going to the show. This was my 3rd time seeing Derren live in Glasgow and it was, once again, an excellent show. This time, I went with my […]
Dad – A year already!
They say (whoever “they” are) that time goes quicker when you’re having fun. Well, it’s not exactly been a great year, not always fun, but it has been amazingly quick. Where the last 12 months have gone is a bit of a mystery to me. It’s a year to the day since my Dad died. […]
