The Amazing Kreskin Returns to the State Theatre Tonight

The Amazing Kreskin returns to the State Theatre, this time promising to evoke the theatre's very own Fred the Ghost with help from audience members.

With a showman's flair, a comedian's wit, and the capacities of a bona fide Mentalist, The Amazing Kreskin has dramatized the unique facets of the human mind for 60 years. His trademark is a mental test that has become the highlight of his performances all over the world, as Kreskin requests that his check be hidden somewhere within the venue he is appearing. If he fails to find it, he will forfeit his fee!

Show time is tonight, June 28 at 8 PM. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street,Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org.

Kreskin's very name has become an integral part of pop culture throughout the world, invoked in Comedy Clubs, comic strips, print stories, and TV shows from sitcoms on through national magazines.

Born in Montclair, New Jersey, it was during the childhood game "hot and cold" that Kreskin's remarkable ability to find hidden objects emerged. His ability to read thoughts expanded, and by his teens he also became nationally recognized in the United States as "The World's Youngest Hypnotist," resulting in his collaborating in psychological clinical studies extending into the realm of Parapsychology and the Power of Suggestion.

Through the decades, audiences of all ages have been drawn to this legendary figure. How many other celebrities can boast their own television series, their own board game, over some sixteen books, their own theme song arranged by the renowned Skitch Henderson at Carnegie Hall, let alone hundreds of appearances on almost every talk/variety show to be had? His performances have been seen all over the world, and he has flown over 3 million miles.

Actor/Producer Tom Hanks announced March 20, 2009 to be the debut of a feature film, The Great Buck Howard, starring Tom Hanks and John Malkovich. It is announced at the end of the movie that the inspiration for the key character of the screenplay is The Amazing Kreskin, the character played by John Malkovich

The Amazing Kreskin has also become a training consultant to law enforcement and security personnel throughout the western world in the development in their own powers of observation and intuitive skills. Kreskin continues to offer "$50,000 to anybody that can prove that he employs paid secret assistants or confederates in any phase of his program." It is an offer that he has held for many, many years.
