DISABLED HYPNOTIST & MAGICIAN WITH DISABILITY
My personal experience of feeling “different” in life and experiencing “Prejudice” & bullying started at a very early age when I was the victim of daily insults & attacks at school about my Ginger Hair.
I think that the song Prejudice by Tim Minchin although comical in nature helps to highlight the seriousness of what some might not realise was (and still is for many) the cause of much pain & distress in their daily life’s.
The fact that Comedienne Catherine Tate who herself is naturally Ginger made a sketch called “The Ginger Safe House” also illustrates what a serious issue such can be although again presented in a comical manner.
As light hearted as those two videos are, being a victim of daily bullying for having Ginger Hair is no laughing matter as I reveal in this video
Suicide Attempt Story – To Escape School Bullying Royle Aged 12
As the year of 2024 came to an end after living with Health issues that have got increasingly worse since my early teens and most significantly have got rapidly worse over the past few years, I have in those final few weeks of 2024 officially been given Disabled Person Status and consequently have received all of the following.
- Disabled Parking Badge as Pictured On this page
- Disabled Persons Rail-Card for Discounted Train Travel
- Manchester Bee Network Disabled Persons Travel Card for Trains, Trams & Buses
- Special Key for Access to Disabled Toilets
- National Disability Card to prove my Disability Issues
FULLER DETAILS OF MY HEALTH & MOBILITY ISSUES AS OF DECEMBER 2024 ARE DETAILED BELOW
YES, it’s true that as the year of 2024 came to an end my mobility had become somewhat reduced…
Health-wise I have a CPAP Machine at the side of my bed which I’ve had for some months now as I kept on stopping breathing in my sleep and on occasions my wife Rachel had to prod me to get me to start breathing again and then I was officially diagnosed with Sleep Apnoea.
I have for a couple of years now been using a Hearing Aid in my Left Ear to help me hear properly.
On top of that after a Body Scan, numerous different blood tests, consultation with a Rheumatologist and a Brain Scan, my Doctor and the specialists were at the end of 2024 no closer to finding out exactly what it is that is wrong with me!
I’ve also had Physiotherapy sessions along the way and have been prescribed therapeutic exercises to help with flexibility.
Indeed I am now on the waiting list to see the Neurologist to see if they can find the cause of my issues, I have been informed it could be very late 2025 before I get to see one.
For those who have not seen me recently, be warned I NOW USE A WALKING STICK to help with my mobility issues and getting around takes somewhat longer than it used to.
I also have moments of suffering from severe “brain fog” where in my head I know exactly what I want to say but just can’t seem to get it out of my mouth, so please be patient with me if this occurs when we next meet in person…
It’s rather frustrating at times to say the least but fortunately does NOT seem to occur during my well-rehearsed talks, shows and conducting of therapy sessions but rather only during unplanned free flowing conversation.
OTHER SYMPTONS I EXPERIENCE UNEXPECTEDLY AT RANDOM TIMES
- Widespread Pain & Aches throughout my body but especially in my joints and back/neck/shoulders etc on a daily constant basis.
- Stiff & Achey joints all over my body on a daily constant basis.
- As well as “normal” pain (whatever that means) I also experience at random moments things like a burning and/or prickly sensation over various skin areas of my body…
- At other times I can suddenly feel sharp stabbing pains in various areas of my body.
- Other times I will suddenly experience Electrical Shock style shooting pains rapidly “shooting” through areas of my body
- Other times I get unexpected and sudden spasms and/or also what I can only describe as cramps.
- I experience Fatigue a lot on an unexpected basis and have to have short regular rests when/if walking anywhere.
- I won’t go into details but some elements of what is labelled irritable bowel syndrome occur as well.
- Some days (thankfully only some days) I get restless leg syndrome.
- Many days of the week I experience tingling, numbness, prickling or burning sensations in my hands and feet.
- I sometimes get blurry vision momentarily for a few seconds.
- My jaw often hurts when eating.
- My finger joints often hurt and are stiff when trying to hold and carry things etc.
Experiencing these things does cause frustration (especially when brain fog kicks in) and thus in turn I suppose it’s true to say that elements of Stress, Anxiety & Depression can then kick in, thankfully I am able to use Hypnotherapy techniques to overcome these feelings rapidly.
I’ve had blood tests for Rheumatoid Arthritis which runs in the family as my father and Grandfather both had such and yet no markers were present.
I’ve had blood tests for Psoriatic Arthritis as my Mum has both Psoriasis & Psoriatic Arthritis which can also be hereditary.
And they’d done blood tests galore for all manner of things.
Truth is that I first has “back Pains” in my early teens and indeed the Doctor gave my school a medical note informing them I should not participate in contact sports like Football, Rugby etc and I was given check-ups every few months as he suspected curvature of the spine, although this did not turn out to be the case.
Most of my life I’ve had back and joint issues but have always been able to manage solely through mindpower, self-Hypnosis and positive thinking and indeed I currently am still using those methods to NOT currently require any strong opiate based chemical pain killers of which my Doctors would happily give me.
However increasingly over the past 17+ years that I’ve been with my wife Rachel, my symptoms have got steadily worse to the point that in early 2023 I actually went to the Doctor and started having blood tests, body & brain scans and testing galore.
Unfortunately so far they have not been able to pinpoint exactly what is causing me to experience all these things.
I am now on the waiting list to see a Neurologist.
It has been indicated to me that if the Neurologist cannot get to the bottom of things then I will end up being labelled as having Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is just a label for when they don’t know what is wrong with you…
That is why I have always said at seminars THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST as it is only a label and I respectfully stand by that (no offense intended to anyone already labelled as such) despite the fact that I might end up being given that label and indeed that is what my Doctor is currently referring to me as having until hopefully we discover something more specific…
It basically means they acknowledge that you are experiencing certain symptoms and that all the testing they have done has ruled out other causes of them but still leaving them WITHOUT ANY IDEA of what the actual cause is.

Now as I teach and have done for decades in seminars and have helped clients with also for decades POSITIVE MIND POWER IS A BIG KEY to managing and/or overcoming any illness of any kind and in that regards I can confirm that I am on a daily basis using Self-Hypnosis & other Psychological & Energetic Self-Healing Techniques on myself to at the very least stop things getting any worse for as long as possible.
And if that occurs (being Labelled as Fibromyalgia) then there is nothing they can do to help other than to prescribe chemical based ever increasingly strong opiates/pain killers which frankly thanks to Self-Hypnosis & Psychological Pain Control Techniques I will always avoid as long as is possible.
Oh and towards the end of 2024 my Psoriasis starting playing up on my feet and elbows and so I had even more blood tests done, but still there are apparently not enough markers showing for me to be diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis.
So for now it’s just a mystery…
On the bright side I now have a Disabled Parking Badge for the Car and reduced cost Disabled Train, Bus & Tram Travel…
BUT I WILL NOT LET IT STOP ME MAKING THIS YEAR & BEYOND YEARS OF CONTINUED ACHIEVEMENTS
In truth given the bullying I experienced from an early age due to having Ginger Hair and being The Son of a Circus Clown who myself also performed as Flap the Clown, I have always felt “different” and until I learnt the Secrets of Hypnotherapy & Positive Mind Power it had such a detrimental effect on my Mental Health as a young person that as I explain in the video and audio recording that follows I attempted suicide.

These are things along with the time (now thankfully years, in fact decades ago now) when I was addicted to Drugs & Alcohol that I was finally able to overcome thanks to the power of the Mind & Hypnosis that I discuss in my Book SHITNOSIS and also in these Podcast Interviews

As a Full Variety Artiste Entertainer Member of The British Actors Equity Association Trade Union I am reminded that The Equality Act states that I must not be discriminated against on the basis of my disability in a number of circumstances:
https://web.archive.org/web/20241130104110/https://www.equity.org.uk/advice-and-support/know-your-rights/right-to-equal-treatment/disability
Rather than allowing any of these issues to hold me back, I intend to use them as Motivation to help me to help others come to terms with and manage their own issues & disabilities more effectively by sharing with them Self-Hypnosis & Mind Power Techniques that can help them in the same way that they have helped me on a daily basis for the vast majority of my life.
Indeed, to this day other than taking over the counter Nurofen Pain Killers to act as a Placebo Trigger, I continue to use numerous different Creative Visualisation, Self-Hypnosis & Mind Over Body Healing Techniques to manage, control & sometimes even to fully eliminate Pain when it occurs.
I am therefore available to speak on “Positive Mind Power” & how to use it to improve your life as a person who has been labelled as “Disabled”
Many people incorrectly think that if you have a disability, you are unable to do the things that able-bodied people do. That is not true.
Indeed, many people with disabilities show great determination and dependability. For those of us with disabilities, everyday life can be difficult and frustrating but these challenges can be handled, managed and overcome triumphantly, especially when use is made of Positive Mind Power Techniques & Strategies.
So when you want an Inspirational & Motivational Speaker for your event who has personal first-hand experience of living with & overcoming such challenges in life or when you want to book a Comedy Magician, a Mind Reading Mentalist or a Hypnotic Entertainer who may need to use his walking stick to move around on stage and/or may on occasion have to sit down briefly whilst he performs his act, then I am your man for the job…
