My next guest is a truly magical and inspiring mind reader who turned adversity into opportunity.

Bullied as a child for having a rare condition restricting movement in his arms, he dove headfirst into mastering the art of magic and mentalism.

Now with over 20 years experience, he wows audiences with incredible tricks and insights into human nature.

Known for interactive performances that play with themes of fate and free will, he leaves people stunned as he guesses numbers, reads minds, and makes predictions come true.

Jason developed an interest in magic at a young age to help cope with being bullied due to a rare condition called congenital radio-ulnar synostosis that restricts movement in his arms.

He eventually focused more on mentalism and mind reading tricks.

And in this podcast he discusses some of his performances like using dice and books, his process for reading people’s body language to guess what number they’ll pick, and incorporating his personal story into shows around the theme of fate and free will.

He also talks about magic conventions, memorable performances he’s seen, recovering when tricks go wrong after 20 years of experience, and the types of events he gets booked for like private parties, corporate events, and weddings.

If you want to make your next event truly magical, you need Jason Pike to showcase his jaw-dropping tricks and mentalist abilities.

Whether it’s a private dinner party, a corporate event, or your wedding, Jason’s interactive performances are sure to entertain and amaze your guests.

His skills in reading people’s choices and making uncanny predictions seem to defy reality. And he incorporates captivating stories and themes that leave audiences wondering, “How did he do that?!”

You can find and book this incredible illusionist and mentalist magician directly through his website at www.magic-pike.com.

Episode 4 – John Kirkland | Marlow Rowing Club https://marlowuncovered.com/episode-4-john-kirkland-marlow-rowing-club/ Fri, 23 Feb 2024 22:00:23 +0000 https://marlowuncovered.com/?p=56

A massive thank you to Adela Louise and the Posivitively Marlow team for making this episode happen…!

John Kirtland, a member of the Marlow Rowing Club, discusses the history and community of the club which was established in 1871.

He explains that the club has 600 members ranging from ages 12-90.

The goal is to offer the sport and camaraderie to people of all ages and abilities.

They want members to progress as far as they can, including competing at the national level and qualifying for the GB squad.

However, most members are not elite athletes; they simply enjoy rowing recreationally.

Beyond fitness and competition, many members credit rowing for teaching concentration, trust, and friendship skills that benefit their lives.

John emphasises the welcoming, friendly atmosphere that enables complete novices to learn.

With multiple boats and regular adult “learn to row” courses, the Marlow Rowing Club aims to share the sport and community with the town.

To get in contact with the Marlow Rowing Club, for general enquireies and the learn to row courses, please see details below.
