He has been a magician for twenty years creating award winning productions at Fringe Festivals around the world, and a Guinness World Record breaker. His unique magic creations, saw him reach the final stages of Britain’s Got Talent and he is Artistic Director of the UK’s only magic festival; Edinburgh International Magic Festival. Drawing on magic, psychology, writing zoom-magic-shows and real-world observation, Kevin Quantum explores how attention really works, and why noticing today requires deliberate effort rather than intuition — because when signals vanish, responsibility to notice doesn’t. 🌟Dr Sam Aaron is the creator of Sonic Pi, an internationally renowned live coding performer and science communicator. Described by Rolling Stone as a performer who “transcends the present,” Sam has spent over 15 years pioneering “programming as performance,” turning computer code into a visceral, live artistic medium. Sam comes to Manchester asking how do we engage the next generation of programmers? Could it be possible to learn the fundamentals of programming whilst also becoming a DJ from the future? And how is AI changing computer coding and music creation? ‼️Don’t miss out - there’s still time to register and join us for one unforgettable day: 📆 Saturday 7th March 2026 📍 The Bridgewater Hall 🎟️ tedxmanchester.com/tickets
