Or Book Graham for your Own Experience
-
Have no doubt, your speaker is the most important element of your event, whether it’s a club meeting, luncheon club, festival, corporate event or private dinner.
As a Speaker Secretary, your aim should be to book someone who can captivate and entertain your audience. If you want entertaining and funny anecdotes, an interesting life-story, then book Graham Short, the most in-demand speaker in the UK.
After appearing in news features internationally, being the subject of a Discovery Channel documentary, and seeing the story of his life celebrated at the prestigious annual Arts & Film Festival in Hollywood, the world’s media became interested, and Graham is now considered one of the most talented artists in the world
-
He left school without any qualifications and started his first job, emptying mousetraps in a Birmingham factory for £2 17s and sixpence a week. Within six years he had secured the most prestigious and envious client list imaginable which included Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral, Sandringham, The House of Commons, Harrods and Fortnum & Mason.
Graham’s microscopic masterpieces (engravings invisible to the naked eye) continue to rise in value. He has completed just 48 pieces in his lifetime and he produces only four items per year, making him one of the most collectable and fascinating living artists around today.
He works from midnight to 5.00 am in order to avoid vibration from passing traffic and takes potassium, magnesium and beta-blockers during the night to lower his heart-rate to 20 beats per minute, then wearing a stethoscope, he monitors his heart and begins to engrave with very fine needles, between heartbeats! Every three months he attends a clinic and undertakes a course of Botox injections into his eyelids to ensure there is no distraction from eye nerves and muscles while he works.

Graham is known for engraving The Lord’s Prayer on the head of a pin and for carving Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper along the sharp edge of a razor blade.
In November 2016, a ‘Willy Wonka’ style release captured the attention of the nation. The engraving of Jane Austen’s portrait on four £5 notes was devised as a route to bring art beyond the boundaries of any art gallery, these works were literally given away. The four notes valued at £50,000 each were spent in small, locally owned shops around Britain.
Graham’s PowerPoint presentation is described as ‘more theatre than classroom’, and is littered with highly amusing tales about the celebrities he has met and worked with, such as Ronnie Barker, Neil Armstrong, Uri Geller, Stephen Fry, Kim Kardashian and the Royals.
