I was lucky enough to be asked to do a talk about Magic and my Magic Pike act on Marlow FM. I spoke about the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ I got into magic and about being bullied at school and turning to magic as a way to escape it. I am really proud to have spoken about this topic on Marlow FM. Its the first time I’ve spoken about my disability, let alone being bullied about it at school, all on a live Radio show! Click play on the image on the right to listen to the interview.

I joined John Savage on his ‘Marlow Uncovered’ podcast. This podcast looks into the incredible town of Marlow and reveals the stories, faces and heart that makes Marlow special.
I was interviewed about being bullied and having a rare condition that only has 350 documented cases worldwide, and how I turned this around into a successful magical career. Interested in hearing more?

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 radioulnar synostosis that restricts movement in his arms.

In this episode, I sit down with Jason Pike, also known as Magic Pike—an award-winning magician and proud member of the Magic Circle.
From mind-blowing close-up tricks to full-scale stage shows, Jason has built a reputation for leaving audiences speechless.
We kick things off with a simple coffee shop trick that completely stumped me (and I still have no idea how he did it).
Jason talks about what it takes to keep the magic alive after 20+ years in the industry, his journey into the prestigious Magic Circle, and how he crafts unforgettable moments for weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
We also dive into:
- His recent performances at big events like the Marlow FM Charity Ball and the Blackpool Magic Convention.
- What it’s like performing in front of other magicians who know every trick in the book.
- How he tests and perfects new tricks before adding them to his show.
- His exciting new Titanic-themed show in the works.
- Upcoming events, including the Hurst Family Festival and Henley Christmas Lights Festival.
If you want to experience the magic for yourself, you can book Jason for your next event or catch him at one of his live performances.
