Australia's Houdini: "I was in a fight for my life"

Australian Paul Cosentino is a magician and escapologist who stages spectacular and daring stunts. He's escaped from shackles underwater and evaded razor sharp knives getting ever closer to his head. He first became famous through reality TV formats including Australia's Got Talent and Dancing with the Stars - which he won. But Cosentino, as he's known on stage, says he is driven by his childhood experience of not being able to read until he was twelve years old.
