'Give me three years and we'll be millionaires,' Nick challenged
his long-suffering family in 1980, when cash was king. 'I've got an
idea that's going to take us to the top.' Tinkering with alchemy in
an old stable he shared with a Shire horse, Nick discovered how to
create the most convincing antique replicas ever made. He started
by selling a few of his netsukes on a market stall at the
Birmingham Rag Market and met extraordinary and eccentric people,
the risk-taking gamblers with fast tongues. Each had their own
money-spinning ideas; you name it, he replicated it for the
wheeler-dealers chasing the dream. When Nick and his crew reached
the rarefied circles of the London art world he realised he could
be dangerously out of his depth. This is the unlikely and often
hilarious story of where nothing but enthusiasm and self-belief can
take you.
