Gordon Smith was born in Scotland, he had his first experience when he was ten when he saw a drunk walking down the street who then just disappeared, He did nothing about his gift until he was in his twenties, when he woke up to see a vision of his friend, who he learned several hours later had not long perished in a fire. Since Gordon as toured all around the country as a medium but does not charge for his work. His paid job is as a barber in his own shop in Glasgow.
