The Amazing Kreskin has died

[Rhino]

The Amazing Kreskin was shown on Canadian TV for a time several decades
ago. I remember watching it once and being pretty skeptical of him, as I
am of all such people. Not long later, there were rumours circulating
that he was a fake and that his signature glasses actually hid a secret
earpiece where a confederate could whisper things into his ears that let
him seem amazing.

Apparently, his real name was George Kresge Jr and he has died at age 89.

I thought I'd mention that since no one else had.

Wonder if he was able to foretell it.

Sure. Just not where, when, or how...

Only time I can recall his name coming up was in regards to people who
were justifiably skeptical of his abilities. That and lots of clips
from Youtube keeping his name alive:

I only ever saw him once and he didn't do any card tricks then but he
may have at other points in his career. He described himself as a
"mentalist", not a magician.
