COSENTINO THE GRAND ILLUSIONIST WINS OVER SPAIN
2014 has started in the best possible way for the International Magician of the Year, Cosentino, with the exciting news that key international territories are also falling under his spell.
Cosentino’s International push commenced over the festive period, with Spanish network ‘TVE’ airing all four episodes between Christmas and New Year to an ecstatic response from TV executives and new fans alike with over one million people tuning in. “The response of the Spanish public has truly humbled me. Throughout my career I’ve always wanted to share my craft with as many Believers as possible. This is the first step in that process and I thank everyone who tuned in,” beamed Cosentino.
Next in line to air these gripping TV specials are India, Japan, New Zealand and numerous territories across South East Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and The Philippines.
Cosentino is widely recognised as the catalyst for the huge resurgence in popularity of magic and illusions on TV in Australia.
After receiving the distinctive honour of being the first magician in this country to have their own prime-time TV series, his high-adrenalin mix of spectacular stage illusions, death-defying escapes and cutting edge street magic resulted in all 3 episodes of The Magic, The Mystery and The Madness dominate the ratings for Network Seven in 2013 – being viewed by over 4 million people nationally.
2013 was a year of many highlights for Cosentino: 3 top rating prime-time TV specials, a sold-out national tour, winner of Dancing With the Stars, the release of his first Magic Kit (The Grand Illusionist Magic Kit by Cosentino) which was one of the hottest items at retail for Xmas and the prestigious peer-voted International Magician of the Year award (the Academy Award for magicians).
With international markets now calling, a new series of TV specials featuring Cosentino’s biggest and best performances yet, brand new magic products hitting retail and another national tour and international tour planned for later in the year, 2014 looks set to be the busiest year yet for our talented Aussie.
COSENTINO THE GRAND ILLUSIONIST MAKES MAGIC OUT OF MADNESS AND MYSTERY
World renowned master illusionist, Cosentino, launches his all-new spellbinding one-hour TV special The Magic, The Mystery, The Madness set to go to air on channel Seven this Tuesday, August 27 at 7.30pm.
A year in the making, Cosentino’s high-adrenalin mix of all new spectacular stage illusions, death-defying escapes and stunts are the most dangerous he has ever attempted. A spinning steel blade “Scorpion” is set to cut him in half. 15 razor sharp knives are loaded in a rack that could plunge through his head. Six metres underwater, Cosentino will be chained inside a metal cage with literally seconds to escape death.
Featuring footage from his packed out audiences at Melbourne’s The Palms At Crown and unbelievable impromptu street tricks with the public, Cosentino opens the doors to his private world – inviting cameras for the first time backstage during his test runs.
“This time we pull back the curtain and let the viewers into my world with behind the scenes footage of what it takes to create a dangerous stunt, and what can happen if it goes wrong,” says Cosentino.
Cosentino does not hide the harsh reality of the risks involved. The cameras keep rolling when rehearsals grind to a halt and Cosentino is sent to hospital to undergo surgery.
Cosentino’s previous TV special literally worked its magic – rating as the number one show for the night on television in September 2012 on Channel 7.
Cosentino – The Magic, The Mystery, The Madness premieres this Tuesday, August 27 at 7.30pm on channel Seven.
