For the TV psychic Criswell (1907–1982), see The Amazing Criswell.
The Amazing Kreskin[1] (born George Joseph Kresge; January 12, 1935),[2] also known as Kreskin, is an American mentalist who became popular on television in the 1970s. He was inspired to become a mentalist by Lee Falk's comic strip Mandrake the Magician,[3] which features a crime-fighting stage magician. He has always presented himself as an "entertainer," never as a psychic, who operates on the basis of suggestion, not the paranormal or supernatural.
