Kreskin has played the spectrum from ‘psychic’ to stage magician. He has been a pretty good showman for the past forty years, but I assure you there are no supernatural powers involved here. He can no more read minds than I can read the Calcutta Times in its original Sanskrit.
I think I recall radio talker Art Bell, expressing his disbelief that there was anything esoteric or even special about Kreskin. He was not invited back as far as I know.
I experienced Kreskin firsthand, and I can assure you that he is, indeed, the real deal. Not just with regard to hypnotism, but mind-reading as well.
But I saw him bend spoons.
