The Amazing Kreskin | Triangle Arts and Entertainment

The world?s most famous mentalist, The Amazing Kreskin will perform on Friday August 24, 2012 at 8 p.m.?at The ArtsCenter in Carrboro.

With a showman?s flair, a comedian?s wit, and the capacities of a bona fide Mentalist (or thought reader), The Amazing Kreskin has, for five decades, dramatized the unique?facets of the human mind, his own! His very name has become an integral part of pop?culture throughout the world, invoked in comedy clubs, comic strips, print stories, and?TV shows.? When Johnny Carson portrayed the character ?Carnac the Magnificent? on the ?Tonight Show?, he was spoofing The Amazing Kreskin. Kreskin, a favorite guest on Johnny?s show, was also a regular guest on Howard Stern, David Letterman, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Regis and Kathy Lee, Merv Griffin?and others.

In 2008, Tom Hanks produced and co-starred with John Malkovich in ?The?Great Buck Howard? which was fashioned after The Amazing Kreskin?s life.?After over 50?years of performing, Kreskin has a new cult following. To quote David Letterman, ?Kreskin?should sue the producers of the TV show, ?The Mentalist? for stealing his act.?He?s the best mentalist?in the world and he?s not acting!??Kreskin can tell people things about themselves that only?a close family member or friend would know!

For his performances?at?the ArtsCenter, Amazing?Kreskin has asked that his check be hidden by the audience somewhere in the?theater?during the show. He will attempt to find it and if he fails, he will forfeit his fee. In addition Kreskin?will offer $1,000,000.00 to anybody that can prove that he employs paid secret?assistants or confederates in any phase of his program to help him perform his mentalist ?effects.?
