Cosentino is Australia's premier illusionist, a magician to his fingertips, a man who constantly challenges our notions of what is possible. This is his thrilling and inspiring story. 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. Recognized 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. This is an uplifting and wholly compelling story for anyone who ever dreamed of achieving the impossible
