Kreskin began life as George Kresge from Montclair, New Jersey, who originally changed his name to avoid confusion with a large shopping chain. As early as nine years old, he started dazzling audiences with is mental acuity and showmanship skills. It wasn't long before he grew into his well-earned moniker, The Amazing Kreskin, and the rest is history.

The Adventures of the Amazing Kreskin is a combination pictorial memoir and comic book with highlights from his illustrious career. From Mike Douglas to Johhny Carson to Jimmy Fallon, Kreskin is a favorite of talk show hosts who have never figured out "how he does it."

A professor of psychology at Kreskin's, alma mater, Seton Hall University, Frank Murphy, was quoted. "Kreskin has developed a strikingly unique an different method of communication, which may take more than fifty years to become common."

He calls himself a mentalist, nothing more, nothing less. He maintains that the power of suggestion and the strength of concentration are the keys to what he does. Beautifully illustrated by comic book artist Howie Noel, through The Adventures of the Amazing Kreskin, you can take a peek into the world of this national treasure.
