| The Amazing Kreskin
Mentalist
Thought reader
Biography
With a showman’s flair, a comedians wit,
and capacities of a bona fide Mentalist, The Amazing Kreskin has, for over five
decades, dramatized the unique facets of the human mind.
Born in Montclair New Jersey, Kreskin was fully fascinated with magic by the
age of five. It was during childhood games, that Kreskin’s remarkable ability to
find hidden objects emerged. This fascinating and unusual gift made him stand
out among his peers, forcing him to assume the role of omniscient observer. From
this point of view, Kreskin was able to harness and refine his gift and began to
perform for neighborhood children. At the age of eleven, Kreskin revealed an
uncanny determination beyond his years when he received permission to study the
entire psychology section of his local public library. Kreskin credits the
childhood influence of “Mandrake the Magician” comic books, radio/television
pioneer Arthur Godfrey, and magnetic televangelist Bishop Sheen for the
direction of his career.
By his teens, he was nationally recognized as “The World’s Youngest
Hypnotist” allowing him to collaborate in psychological clinical studies
existing in the realm of Parapsychology and the Power of Suggestion. From his
early experiments, Kreskin developed a theory into his special talent; “In most
cases, the phenomena of thought transference can be explained as a kind of
hyperaesthesia –an almost unconscious raising of the threshold of one’s senses
to a degree far exceeding one’s everyday feelings.”
Music has also served as an effective medium for Kreskin, who made his
professional debut as a pianist at Carnegie Hall with Skitch Henderson and the
New York Pops, subsequently soloing as a guest artist with Symphonies throughout
the U.S. and Canada.
From the hard news formats of CNN, ABC and FOX NEWS Heartland to the
ingenious madcap of DAVID LETTERMAN and the outrageous humor of HOWARD STERN,
Kreskin has become a household name. It is no wonder why for the past eleven
years his face has been seen annually on CNN NEWS NETWORK on New Years Day to
discuss his predictions for the months to come.
