Using a combination of humor and showmanship, Kreskin, known as "the world's foremost mentalist," has performed for royalty and presidential families. He has made more than 500 television appearances on shows like The Tonight Show (88 times!), CNN Morning News, The Late Show with David Letterman and many others. For five years during the 1970's, the mentalist dazzled millions of viewers weekly with his television series "The Amazing World of Kreskin," and then with a series of popular TV specials called "Kreskin's Quest."

Kreskin does not claim to be a psychic or fortune-teller, but he's performed feats which might lead you to think he is. He's predicted The Academy Award winners the day before the Oscars were given out, and he once predicted the headlines of the New York Post, two weeks in advance! On stage and on television, Kreskin reveals the thoughts of audience members, plants suggestions in fully-awake subjects and dazzles audiences with feats of extraordinary mental projections.

Kreskin risks more than his reputation when he performs - he risks his money. As one of the highlights of his stage show, he regularly asks to have his paycheck hidden anywhere in the building where he's performing. If he fails to find it, he forfeits his fee. In over 6000 performances, he's failed to find his check only nine times. He also offers a $50,000 reward to anyone who can prove he uses assistants or accomplices in his astounding performances.
