Cosentino memoir: Anything is Possible

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cosentino struggled so badly with learning difficulties as a boy that they threatened to derail his life

Cosentino was the first Australian magician to have his own television show, which now has been seen by over 350 million people in 40 different countries. He has won national and international awards, and his most recent stage show, the Twisted Reality tour, sold out across Australia and New Zealand.

But what people don’t known is that as a boy his life appeared to be promising only struggle. Bullied at school, and chronically shy Cosentino hid away from the eyes of teachers and also from the other kids who would tease him for his struggles at school. Cosentino had learning disabilities that meant at 12 he could hardly read and was seriously behind at school. Making friends was difficult and he was becoming more and more isolated.

Cosentino’s memoir ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE tells the story of how he triumphed over the struggles he had at school, and how the discovery of a single book changed his life in every way and forever.

Cosentino would love to share his story of how he showed

himself

his family

his friends

the bullies

the world

that anything is possible.

Ultimately the boy who wouldn’t really even read went on to perform on the world stage and rival Harry Houdini as one of the best magicians the world has ever known. His incredible feats of illusion, escape and magic began when he escaped what destiny had in store for him as a boy.
