Cosentino (illusionist)
Australian magician
Paul Cosentino (born 2 November 1982) known mononymously by his stage name Cosentino, is an Australian illusionist and escapologist.[1]
Early life
Cosentino's mother was a school principal and his father was a civil and structural engineer.
As a child, he found a magic book in a library which fascinated him, but, due to his learning difficulties, his mother had to explain the contents of the book to him while he looked at the pictures.[2] One time when he was 13, he and his mother got locked out of the house.

His first television appearance was on the Australian variety show Hey Hey It's Saturday when he was still in high school, for which he won prize money.&
