Today he is 23 with 50 years experience. And he STILL remains a sterling example of how to boldly manipulate an audience.

What a coincidence. I just recieved the 3 DVD "best of" episodes from his series. I have watched a few throughout the day. What an incredible deal for less than 20 dollars! What Kreskin accomplished on these shows was brilliant. It isn't simply that he is a wonderful mentalist and performer. He is a wonderful host.
I'd forgotten the talk show aspect of the network shows. His conversation with Patrick Macnee on violence on TV and a transformative experience Macnee had a few years before the interview was superb in itself. His ongoing "assualt" on hypnosis, while using suggestion to accomplish outrageous effects that any hypnotist would be only too glad to use, was inspired. The last episode I watched had a professor of astronomy who was also a UFO researcher and authored a book on the subject, claiming 15 to 20 percent of UFO reports had no explanation. Kreskin takes several of the audience members outside the studio and induces a UFO panic. One audience member is pleading to call the police. While Kreskin is invoking memories of H.G. Wells during the sign off, the look on the professor's face is priceless. Happy Birthday Kreskin! |

Another coincidence is that Annemann died this same day 66 years ago.
