The Amazing Kreskin (1935 –2024), was a legendary mentalist who became popular on television in the 1970s. He always presented himself as a mentalist, never as a psychic, who operated on the basis of suggestion, not the paranormal or supernatural. His books, record, and board games centered around ESP were must-haves. From 1972 to 1975, Kreskin's television series The Amazing World of Kreskin was broadcast throughout Canada and the United States, it then ran from 1975 to 1978 as The New Kreskin Show. His first television appearance was on The Steve Allen Show in 1964. He went on to appear approximately 100 times on each of The Mike Douglas Show and The Merv Griffin Show, and 88 times on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Kreskin's popularity peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s, though he continued to perform into the 2020s. He was a pop culture phenomenon.
