ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
COSENTINO
Cosentino is Australia’s premier illusionist
and escapologist – a magician to his fingertips, a man who constantly
challenges our notions of what is possible. The LA Times has said
of him that ‘Cosentino mirrors the legendary Harry Houdini’ – and like Houdini,
he is a true pioneer and trail blazer.
Cosentino was
the first Australian magician to have his own prime-time TV shows and these TV
spectaculars have now been broadcast in over 40 countries. Recognised by his
peers as the 'International Magician of the Year’, he has become one of
Australia’s most popular live performers and continues to stage his award
winning live show to full houses across the globe.
But Cosentino’s
greatest trick of all? Well, that’s something completely different. It was
learning how to read.
He was a
twelve-year-old boy with learning difficulties, teased and isolated, who
struggled with reading and schoolwork. But one day, in a library, he found an
illustrated book about magic – and that unlocked something in him. That magic
book not only inspired him to learn to read, it propelled him on an
extraordinary journey – from a shy boy with low self-esteem to the international
star that he is today.
Anything is
Possible is an
uplifting and wholly compelling story for anyone who ever dreamed of achieving
the impossible.
