What makes Kreskin so amazing?
Kreskin, a larger-than-life mentalist and performer, wows us in Studio Q.
Guest host Terry O'Reilly speaks with larger-than-life mentalist and performer, The Amazing Kreskin -- a man who has earned his moniker by amazing audiences for over six decades. Today, the 79 year old stops by to reflect on his storied career and to wow us live in studio with one of his famous tests.
Kreskin's tests range from low to high stakes -- both for him and the audience -- but in the end, it comes down to the minds of his spectators.
"I often hear what they're saying, even though they're not saying it," he tells Terry.

Plus, here's an archival video of Kreskin exploring the power of suggestion before a Canadian crowd. It's this sort of thing that blew a young Jian's mind.
Last time the Amazing Kreskin passed through Studio Q, he sat opposite our regular host, Jian Ghomeshi. See how long it takes an enthusiastic Jian to formally introduce the mentalist, as well as what happens when Kreskin performs a time-stopping test.
