ABOUT the AUTHORS

Shark Tank

“Ladies and gentlemen, this could be my last illusion”…

“I will be chained up and hanging by a burning rope over this shark tank”…

The crowd starred in horror. Locki struck a match and touched it to the rope…

The flames raced up the rope, the sharks were swimming back and forth under his feet. …The fire was getting hotter… The first padlock opened, the second padlock was loose.

Cosentino has been practising magic since the ripe old age of

twelve. After a long line of gigs including school shows

and being a travelling magician on a cruise, he applied

as a contestant on Australia’s Got Talent in 2011. He was

crowned runner-up, wowing Australia with his escapes

and high-energy routines. Since then, Cosentino has

performed to sold-out shows across the world.

Jack Heath is the author of best-selling

300 Minutes of Danger.

His action-packed books

have sold more than

100,000 copies worldwide,

and have been shortlisted

for multiple awards.

James Hart is an Australian children’s

illustrator who has

illustrated many books,

and who worked on the

TV show The Day My

Butt Went Psycho.
