	The Celebrity Collector - Amazing Kreskin
		Kreskin is a voracious reader, consuming up to four books a night, and his massive library includes comic books, pulp novels and manuscripts.
		Kreskin was gifted the volumes by Jaks' estate when Jaks died, and said no to an offer of $1.25 million for them soon after.
		Another figure that holds great fascination for Kreskin is Howard Thurston, the magician and illusionist who gained some degree of fame in the first part of the last century and died in the 1930s.

	"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).

	Kreskin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Joseph Kresge Jr, better known as The Amazing Kreskin, (born January 12, 1935 in Montclair, New Jersey) is a mentalist who became popular on North American television in the 1970s.
		One of his best known tricks is finding his cheque for a performance, which he instructs his hosts to hide before each show; he has only failed to find the check nine times.
		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.

	The Amazing Kreskin
		His weekly TV show The Amazing World of Kreskin was a syndicated hit from 1971-1975, with Kreskin wowing his studio audiences by guessing birthdates or deciphering the pips on hidden playing cards.
		(While Kreskin has always been vague about the exact nature of his skills, he denies being a psychic or mind-reader and prefers to call himself a mentalist.) In the 1990s Kreskin became famous to a new generation via repeat appearances on the David Letterman and Howard Stern shows.
		Kreskin has often said he was inspired as a child by the Mandrake the Magician comic strip...

	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.

	The Amazing Kreskin Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		On stage and television, Kreskin seeks to reveal the thoughts of audience members, plant suggestions in fully awake subjects and dazzle with feats of extraordinary mental projections.
		Perhaps Kreskin's greatest challenge came during the 50th anniversary celebration of the original broadcast of "The War of the Worlds." Kreskin was challenged to recreate the effects of the legendary Orson Welles 1938 radio program which created international panic.
		Kreskin has also devoted a great deal of time in and out of the nation's courtrooms questioning the validity of testimony given by hypnotized witnesses and the reliability of hypnosis in general.

	The Amazing Kreskin - The World's Greatest Mentalist - ESP
		Kreskin has been on the forefront of the stories of our lifetime, such as his prediction of the Yankee's defeat at the World Series of 2001 to the tragic events of September 11th.
		Celebrating the release of his tenth book, "The Amazing Kreskin's Future with the Stars" Kreskin gathered together some 90 notable people of our era including Tom Hanks, Regis Philbin, Mike Piazza, Dick Clark, Magic Johnson and Alan Greenspan offering their reflections and predictions of the years to come in their area of expertise.
		Upon reading Kreskin's new book and the events of September 11th, Newsweek columnist Gersh Kuntzman stated, "Maybe the Pentagon should be in regular communication with the 66-year-old telepath rather than seeking battle scenarios from Hollywood filmmakers.

	dOc DVD Review: The Amazing Kreskin (2004) - Printable
		I grew up watching The Amazing Kreskin on The Tonight Show and The Mike Douglas Show, and during his prime his mentalist act was without a doubt one of the best, though I always grew weary when he tried to imply, as he does here, that it's a "legitimate phenomena" and "for real".
		There's Kreskin's Amazing Pendulum, a silver replica of the one used to answer questions allegedly under its own power, as well as an insert with the chart used to track the mysterious movements of the aforementioned pendulum.
		As a fan of magic and mentalism, as well as being a longtime admirer of The Amazing Kreskin, I was troubled by how his act on this disc just seemed so awkward and sloppy, and not a true reflection of the way I remember seeing him at what I guess was his peak.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Amazing Kreskin: Mental Marvels, Feats And Stunts From The World's Greatest Mentalist
		This DVD appears to be a special show constructed by Kreskin as an extension of his book "How to Be (a fake) Kreskin." He starts off with his best John Edwards bit, where he tosses out random words and sees if anyone in the audience will bite.
		Kreskin performs a trick, does it again, and then shows you the secret.
		Kreskin is highly impressed with what he does, but you will not be.

		According to legend, Kreskin tripped and fell on one of the early Steve Allen shows, and it was from that incident that Johnny Carson's "Carnac the Magnificent" character was born.
		Kreskin met with the network executives only four times, and they basically had a hands-off policy: there would be no censorship of what he did.
		Kreskin felt that Eddie was a fascinating guy, not because of his card tricks, but because of all the characters he must have known.

	The Amazing Kreskin - Movie Review
		Mentalist Kreskin gives us about an hour an a half of his trademark work from the New York Friar's Club -- the amazing, legendary, famous Friar's Club as he invariably refers to it.
		Toward the end of the video, when Kreskin is busting out the ancient pendulum-can-tell-if-you're-lying trick and doing tricks with the aid of an accomplice in the audience, the act gets a little tiresome.
		Kreskin fans will enjoy the inside look at some of his easiest stunts, as well as anyone who wants to see the sight of an old man giggling uncontrollably.
