Chris Barnardo Author

Born in 1962, Chris Barnardo is the son of two family doctors and a descendent of Dr Barnardo, founder of the world-wide children's charity. He has four children to whom he is completely dedicated, and in 2007 he founded www.dadcando.com, a website for fathers - particularly single ones - and their children. Chris's varied career has seen him working in the fields of graphic design and product development. He is a named inventor on over 25 patents for everything from cheese packaging to advanced credit card displays. His most recent invention is the world's first working magic wand. It looks and feels like a single piece of carved wood and uses infrared remote control technology and state-of-the-art motion sensing and gesture recognition software to enable the user to control gadgets around the home using only simple and intuitive flicks of the wrist.
