Cosentino – Anything Is Possible

Returning to Australia for his first international tour since 2015, the country’s most successful illusionist and escapologist Cosentino will take his newest live show Anything Is Possible on the road. Performing for Sydney audiences on July 5 at Darling Harbour Theatre, ICC Sydney. After touring the world for the last 18 months to packed audiences and rave reviews, the Aussie-born performer promises to deliver magic, escapes, dance and illusion at a level his fans have never witnessed before. Despite his roaring fame and millions of fans, Cosentino is grounded, forthcoming and extremely witty. 

Struggling with literacy in his formative years, Cosentino’s mother encouraged him to read, taking him to the library regularly. Whilst there, he discovered books on magic and illusion which ultimately led to him learning to read, write and spell while learning magic tricks from the books. Of this experience, Cosentino shared, “I think that’s why my magic now even still to this day is far more true and organic for me because it’s built into my DNA and literally created me as a person. I owe everything to it and it made me who I am.”

Cosentino talks about constantly keeping his audience in the forefront of his performances, describing his creative process when developing a show like Anything Is Possible.

“The process now for coming up with material is really ‘what would I like to see on stage if I was going to a show’?”

Cosentino concluded with his passion to share his newest show with Australian audiences, saying: “I can practice as much as I want but it’s not really magic or an experience until you perform it for an audience. Magic is all about the audience’s response. I know I’ve done a really good job on TV when people start bagging me out!”
