Amazing audiences of all ages
National Tour – 27th June to 5th November 2008
“Brilliant young International entertainer stunned audiences…would have done Harry Houdini proud” - The Mercury
“There’s no doubt about it….Cosentino is one of the best illusionists in the world” – GWN NEWS
Unique Australian Illusionist Cosentino will embark on an ambitious 44 date tour across the country commencing on 27 June 2008.
At the tender age of 24, Cosentino has already achieved what many
performers twice his age have only dreamed of. Entirely self-taught,
he has toured nationally, amazed audiences in America and won a number
of prestigious awards including three times Australian Champion
Magician and first prize at the Adelaide Magic Convention. He has
contributed to a Guinness World Record and was nominated for a Helpmann
Award for the 2007 touring production Evolution.
Combining the ambition and skill of the legendary Harry Houdini,
together with his considerable charm and modern style Cosentino is
quite unlike any other Australian performer. At just 12 years of age
while others dream of joining a band or running away to the circus,
Cosentino spent hours studying magic books perfecting his skills and
performing for family and friends.
Threshold: The Art of Illusion, Dance & Escapes is a world-class
performance where audiences will witness dangerous and nail-biting
escapes, incredible illusions and controlled mentalism, blended with
energetic dance, audience participation and humour.
Threshold highlights include; an elaborate water escape where Cosentino
is shackled at the waist, wrists and legs and lowered into a 44 gallon
drum filled with water and left to escape before he runs out of breath;
an illusion that sees an assistant placed into a tight vertical cabinet
reminiscent of a torture device and divided into eight separate pieces;
an act that defies the law of physics when everyday items such as
spoons and forks are examined by audience members and then bend, break
and shatter under Cosentino’s command; and a unique straight jacket
escape inspired by the great Harry Houdini himself where Cosentino is
bound tightly in the jacket and locked in a padded cell while a rack of
deadly spikes hang above him from a burning rope.
Threshold: The Art of Illusion, Dance & Escapes is Playing Australia funded project.
