The Amazing Kreskin, an American mentalist who rose to fame in the 1970s, was inspired by Lee Falk’s comic strip, Mandrake the Magician, which features a crime-fighting stage magician. With a career spanning over six decades, Kreskin has captivated audiences with his mind-reading and psychic abilities. Some of his most notable works include his book “The Amazing Kreskin’s Future with the Stars” and appearances on “The Tonight Show” and “Late Night with David Letterman.” He has received the Milbourne Christopher Award and the Belcastro Family Award for Excellence in Entertainment. Kreskin also has a personal library of more than 7,000 volumes and has generously donated books from his collection to various museums and libraries.
