Australia's world-renowned illusionist and "International Magician of the Year", Cosentino, brings his spectacular new live show "Decennium the Greatest Hits" tour to Dunedin next week.

The performance will be held next Tuesday, November 26, from 7.30pm at the Regent Theatre.

In a press release, Decennium was described as a 90-minute show, written, produced, and choreographed by Cosentino, in which he would perform his "most death-defying escapes", "mind-boggling illusions", and "cutting edge street magic".

Cosentino said it was "a great honour" to bring the show to New Zealand.

"This production is very dear to me as it represents everything I have achieved both professionally and personally over the last 10 years," he said.

The first Australian magician to have his own TV show, Cosentino has created eight prime-time specials, which have been broadcast in 40 countries and seen by more than 500 million people.

A winner of multiple Merlin Awards — presented by the International Magician’s Society in New York — Cosentino has been awarded both the International Magician of the Year and the International Escape Artist of the Year.

Cosentino has spent the last 12 months touring the record-breaking Decennium the Greatest Hits Tour to packed houses across the globe. — APL
