The Glasgow File is a hardback book, A5 format with dust cover, 154 pages, 40 effects, many of which are unpublished. 150-line drawings accompany the text to highlight every detail of each of the routines.


The book is dedicated to the memory of the late great Roy Walton and spotlights some of Glasgow’s finest magicians past and present.


Past Glaswegian masters have included Max Holden, Alex Stewart, Max Raskin, George McKenzie, Richard Armour, Jimmy Findlay, Dex Warren, Tommy Frederick and Duncan Johnstone. Take a look back in time as we list some of the members of the Glasgow Society of Magicians (1918) the Mystic Twelve (1920s) and the Night Owls (1950s).


We then surge forward to 1965 where a very special magical revival begins to emerge in Glasgow. The reason for this can be explained in two words – Roy Walton.


Roy’s knowledge, vast experience and infectious enthusiasm had created a Card Magic renaissance that no one in Glasgow had experienced before. The Walton touch began influencing others on a grand scale.


The Glasgow Magic scene – a veritable who’s who of magic from the 1970s. Who were the main players? It’s all here...


This book can only be purchased by contacting me directly via email or via this website. Only a limited amount of copies will be available.

Cummins and Goings – A multiple transpo effect, courtesy of the late great Paul Cummins.


High Rise – Take the elevator to the top floor with this timeless classic.

FRIENDS


All Lies (Roy Walton) – A brilliant take on the Lie Detector plot. Such was the genius of Roy Walton.


Spectator Cuts to the Aces (Andrew Galloway) – A brilliant handling for Spectator Cuts to the Aces. You’ll love this.


Card Through Handkerchief (Gordon Bruce) – IMHO this is simply the best card thru handkerchief ever.


Power Trip (Peter Duffie) – A masterclass in trick construction. A multi-phase routine which is simply brilliant.


Re-Uprising (Steven Hamilton) – Steve’s final word on the classic elevator plot. And it’s a dandy. This is a different handling from the one that appeared in Steve’s book.

Iggy’s Multiple Shift (Iain Girdwood) – One of my favourite multiple shifts.

Diamond Heist (Terry Rooney and Deric Blamton) – A great ending for your favourite Ace Assembly.
