We've been really busy here at Pacific Quay over the last few weeks with the Authors Live event (clips now available on the website for your enjoyment), a podcasting Glow Meet and of course, Day that saw 70 schools from all over Scotland take part in making the news.

We've even more on the go this week, though - Thursday sees our Brainsmart Glow Meet, 'Make The Most of Your Memory', with , streaming to schools from Kirkintilloch High School from 1.30pm.

Drew is a 'mentalist' - not the insult it may seem at first in some areas of Scotland, rather, he is a psychological magician and mindreader. You might have seen him on Trisha as ' The Interrogator' and he's ex-millitary intelligence so there's no messing with him. He's been working with our Brainsmart team on memory techniques that could help learners with revision at this crucial period in the school year, but in a fun and engaging way.

His techniques are very simple (even we can do them!) but the results are amazing. In Thursday's session, he will teach a class of students two of his basic techniques - how to remember lists, and how to remember names and faces. He'll also demonstrate some of his more advanced skills and throw down a challenge to the students... both in Kirkintilloch and online.

There's a that can be accessed by Glow users all over Scotland. Visit the Brainsmart website to find out a bit more before stepping into Drew's world on Thursday. In case you miss the live event, or aren't a Glow user, we'll be posting a round-up of the day on this blog, including clips of Drew in action, so check back next week.

Discover Drew's secrets and impress your friends with your new-found memory skills!
