International magic star Kevin Quantum returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with MOMENTUM, a show that rocks the audience with epic stunts and belly laughs.
Kevin has recently returned to his Edinburgh home after a hugely successful Australian tour where he won rave reviews at the Adelaide Fringe.
The new show is a chance to see spectacular new tricks and to witness, in person, some of the breathtaking magic he has performed on international TV.
This includes an astonishing and death-defying grand finale – a blindfolded stunt featuring a Newton's cradle and nine flaming cannon balls.
Magic this breath-taking took him to the final stages of Britain's Got Talent where David Walliams described him as “a mixture of magic, science and derring-do, you're like a sexy Doctor Who!”.
Trained by the great Penn and Teller, the illusionist and inventor began his career as a physicist before moving into magic – an art where he has thrived for 15 years. Yet science is always a key ingredient of his shows and MOMENTUM explores themes from Bermuda Triangle to Gravity.
A Guinness World Record breaker and multiple award winner, Kevin is in huge demand, having played for royalty (including King Charles III) and at private parties for audiences including the cast of Outlander and J K Rowling.
