Misdirection, Managing Routines and the Art of Magic with Cosentino

This week’s guest is Cosentino, magician, illusionist and escapologist. It seems most kids go through a magic phase, usually after visiting a joke shop or seeing a street performer do an amazing card trick. The thing is, being a magician looks flashy and fabulous on the surface but it’s actually one of the most disciplined professions around. The magician dream often dies when kids figure out that performing is about 1% of the job - the rest is diligently sitting in front of a mirror for hours practising passing a coin from one hand to another without anyone seeing it. We chat to Consentino about discipline, overcoming learning disabilities, the importance of routine and how being obsessed with details could actually save your life.  If you’re interested in anything you heard about on today’s show just click here for the show notes.  If you love the show, consider becoming a Patreon supporter - even $5 a month would be a huge help in covering production, editing, equipment, promotion and guest wrangling.
