	"Amazing Kreskin"
		Kreskin, in his typically ingratiating and self-promoting manner, began the TV show by mentioning that Johnny Carson's "Carnac is a satire of me" (but not a word about his own routine being modeled after that of the 1940s and early '50s magician "The Great Dunninger").
		Kreskin, of course, correctly "divined" the message, but NCAS members later recovered the scraps while Kreskin was backstage, compared the handwriting on the message to Kreskin's own, and published their findings (with photos) in their Winter 1990-91 Skeptical Eye.
		Kreskin lined up the five items across the desktop, and after having Fountain momentarily close her eyes as he passed his hand in front of her face (adding an element of 'mysticism' to the proceedings), he asked her to "touch one of the items" (she picked up the ring).

	The Amazing Kreskin - Review by Neil Slade
		Kreskin claims that nothing he does is a trick, and is actually a demonstration of his unique and real mental abilities.
		Kreskin was great however- he handled the occassional slightly inebriated and rowdy loud comments well, and with humor throughout.
		Kreskin comes back into the auditorium, and then drags one of the six people around silently on the other end of a handkerchief-- he says he's using it to pick up their thoughts as they mentally guide him to the hiding place.

		From 1971 to 1975, his television series The Amazing World of Kreskin was broadcast throughout Canada on CTV and distributed in syndication in the United States.

		Kreskin I hope takes some responsiblity on his claims and follows through with his offer to donate the $50,000 to charity - unlike what I am hearing, reports now that he is claiming he doesn't have to offer his claim because several people saw "something" proving his suggestive "powers".
		Kreskin - nobody saw any UFOs - your claim of UFOs appearing was not legitimate by any standard - the disclaimers you are stating now support an agenda to mislead the public - you need to stick with your word and give your donation.
