In this TEDx talk, Manuel shares the powerful story of the moment he stopped living by others' expectations and fully committed to his true passion. But he doesn’t just tell the story—he makes the audience feel it. Through a mind-bending experience, he invites everyone to feel what it’s like when a single shift in perspective changes everything. When the impossible becomes possible and you can never see the world the same way again. Manuel is an international performer, speaker, and expert in communication, blending psychology, science, and art to create transformative experiences. He invites audiences to step beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary, challenging the way they see reality and themselves. Manuel doesn’t just perform illusions—he creates genuine, immersive experiences that leave lasting impressions. With a background in civil engineering and a Master’s in Psychology and Behavioral Science, Manuel combines analytical thinking with a deep understanding of human connection. His work has taken him across continents, performing alongside business leaders, lecturing at prestigious mentalism events, and consulting professionals on authentic communication. His performances aren’t about showing off—they are about giving people something real to take with them, expanding their limits of what is possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
