'''Cosentino: The Magic, the Mystery, the Madness

TODAY, 7.30PM, SEVEN/GWN7'''

The Grand Illusionist is back for his second TV special, and he has plenty more tricks up his sleeve to keep viewers guessing long after the credits have rolled.

Street magic and sleight of hand ruses are shown beside more daring stage stunts, like imprisonment in a giant metal scorpion and a daring escape from a device studded with knives that are ready to impale the magician.

But there's another dangerous stunt thrown in that makes Cosentino question his own limits and could spell disaster for the daredevil.

What shines throughout the hour is the Melburnian's showmanship, unpretentious attitude and friendly nature, making you hope he will continue to escape in one piece.
