Alan grew up in a small town at the west of Scotland Called Port Glasgow. He discovered magic at a very young age and loved this new, secret world he was now apart of. Sadly his teenage years hit and the young man was pulled away from magic with the typical Hobbies and distractions, sports, girls and so on. A few years later Alan found himself bitten by the magic bug again and progressed into the art rapidly by learning all he could get his hands on and creating as much as he could along the way.


Alan Started to get work in all the bars, pubs and clubs in his local area which was ideal to test all he had created in front of live audiences. As the gigs started to become further away Alan Started to create a large online fan base in the magic community who loved Alans direct approach to each effect he tackled. A few tutorial downloads where released from Alans own site which received instant acclaim by critics and led to the bigger companies noticing Alans work in the art.


Misleading Mislead became the first DVD release from Alan and it quickly became a best seller world wide. It took a year and a half before Alan wanted to release anything else despite pressure from the company who released Misleading Mislead. Russian Roulette was the next release and yet again it received a fantastic response from the magic community and due to the effects seeming danger gained Alan Cult status. At this time Alan just wanted to perform and parted ways with the company who released both DVDs so he could concentrate on this.


A few years had passed and Alan had held a residency at a local bar called Oscars Along with working a long string of events for Flash back Disco, The Port Glasgow Juniors Football Club, Yates and The solid Rock to name but a few. Now was the time to release more effects that he had been fine tuning all these years.


Dave Forrest and Alan Entered into talks about a few effects and then the guys at Big Blind media fell into the mix. In 2007 Alan set about making a DVD which would be the first to star him self with the Big Blind media team, this evolved into a two DVD set which for the first time placed Alan in the top 10 for Magic DVD sales around the world. The relationship with Own at big blind media and Dave at Full52 has remained strong and has let Alan Release one of his pet Routines Now called Night and day on the full 52 name. Along with these DVDs Alan puts out Small single trick downloads from his own site which are always received very well.
