Andy Field - Something extremely suspicious

Someone actually mentioned this to me, regarding the earlier exposed Andy Field. Let me get right to the point. This is what is written on Andy's website:
Quote:
He is an award winning magician who has won The Scottish Association of Magical Societies (S.A.M.S.) competition on two separate occasions. He has also won the John Ramsay Rose Bowl award for his amazing performance of the classic magic effect The Cups and Balls.

...

Andy Field also works as an advisory consultant and Hand Double for the BBC television drama “Hustle”.
Stangely enough, I can't seem to find any listings or evidence on his contest wins. On top of that, he does not appear in any of the credits of Hustle either (such an amazing TV series. In case he didn't want his actual name in there there should have been a nickname or pseudonym instead which also cannot be found, though someone who mentions it on his site would definitely not bother his actual name to appear in the credits, right?). Though he does have some nice images taken with the actors (none actually on set) he might as well have just visited them and have those pictures made like many others could have (if not have).

Not assuming anything, but I do think we are onto something.. and undoubtedly something very weird and suspicious.

Have you asked him about it? He would probably ignore you, but he might be able to clear it up.

The person who told me about it is waiting for a reply from him. Will keep you up-to-date.. if Andy and the guy answer.
I personally cannot quite contact him as he blocked every single one of our channels. I have just sent an e-mail to the S.A.M.S. board though.

----------

Over a week later and we finally got some news, regardless of Andy never replying to the fanboy message the guy sent him, nor any of the S.A.M.S. board members replying to my e-mail. Today, I decided to call up one of the most important S.A.M.S. board members though. After this person so said gave it a check, he sent me an e-mail about Andy Field with the following short-yet-clear statement "I have never heard of this man at all".

I decided to give it a final check before posting anything in here and weirdly enough found Andy listed at the Ann Warlock (Close-Up Competition) Trophy twice, in 2004 and 2005, thank goodness. Still absolutely no records of him at the John Ramsay Rose Bowl though (which is what I asked the board member about in particular) nor at his Hustle hand-doubling, so he may as well have milked the moments to the extreme. But at least he won something.. regardless of it by no means giving him the title 'S.A.M.S. Champion of Magic' which he now uses, nor would winning the John Ramsay Rose Bowl have given him that title.

So well, his contest wins barely make up for anything.
