Summary: Kreskin is the man
Review: ...Just like Kreskin's stage act. If you read it in the same spirit, you'll enjoy it immensely. As for the other reviews on this page from Kreskin's "mentalist" competitors who did not enjoy this book, I say "lighten up." Your jealousy is showing. Kerskin's the big name writing the book and you're not, get over it.

Summary: Watch, boys and girls, as Kreskin makes you waste money...
Review: A true waste of money! You'll get two things out of this book. First, a bunch of nonsense in which Kreskin talks of using his mind powers to do things you'll never be able to do (yeah, right). Second, stupid tricks that you can't believed would be published. Don't waste your money!

Summary: A review from a professional mentalist
Review: Absolute crap. This book is an interesting example of what happens when a performer starts to believe his own hype. Kreskin should undergo an immediate psychiatric evaluation as he is obviously taking himself far too seriously. I have been a full-time professional mentalist for over 20 years and this book is as bad as it gets. Kreskin's condescension is nauseating. He basically states that he produces "genuine phenomenon" and that all other mentalists are fakes. Sorry folks, but Kreskin's a fake too. We are all just entertainers. His book implies powers that he simply does not possess. I've seen him live and I know his methods. If this had been sold as a book of mentalist tricks it would be much better. Instead it is presented as a way of learning to fake what Kreskin can "really do". So I throw the gauntlet down! Come on Kreskin! Show us fakes what you can do! Let's see you produce your "genuine phenomena" for those of us who know how you cheat...I challenge Kreskin to perform for the Toronto Mentalist group "M5" and show us all how great he really is..

Summary: The Best, written by the top mentalist in the business!
Review: Why oh why oh why does Kreskin continue to embarrass himself? Being a professional mentalist myself, I can tell you that not only is the material in this book poor, but Kreskin trying to pass himself off as the "genuine article" is hilarious. Not only is Kreskin himself a fake, but he is so outdated in his performing, that I have to watch him with one eye shut. I saw Kreskin on Regis and Kathy Lee performing a routine out of his new and he screwed it up. Then he did a "real" ESP effect and screwed that up as well. Regis just rolled his eyes along with 5 million viewers. My friend Pablo from Florida even caught on to how Kreskin did his "genuine" effect, and he's a plumber. I think it's finally time to give up Kreskin. It's not all bad though, I hear they are hiring greeters at Wal-Mart.
