“The Hands of a Genius”by Graham Short

Graham lives in Birmingham and left school with no qualifications before beginning an apprenticeship in engraving.He discovered he had a special talent for this and he is now a world-famous micro-artist.His work, which is invisible to the naked eye, is much in demand and sells in galleries around the world.He is the man who engraved the Lord’s Prayer on the head of a pin, ‘Nothing Is Impossible’ along the sharp edge of a Wilkinson razor blade and a portrait of writer Jane Austen on the transparent section of four polymer banknotes which were then put into circulation. This venture was reported by the media in fifty-eight countries around the world.How does he do this? His presentation will reveal his methods and will be both instructive and entertaining.
