The Amazing Kreskin Casts His Ballot

Mentalist Says He Knows Who'll Be Next In The White House

(AP)  No votes have been cast for president yet. But the Kreskin primary is over.

George Kresge Jr., better known as The Amazing Kreskin, wrote the name of his choice to win next year's election, had a rabbi sign the paper and dropped it into a locked box on Thursday.

Kreskin says he didn't want to make a presidential prediction. But the name of the winner came to him three months ago and wouldn't leave him alone. So he came up with the scheme to write it down and lock it away.

"If I can remain impartial at least by putting it away, sealing it, having someone witness what I wrote, then I can at least get the credit. Because I really think I hit it," the 72-year-old mentalist said.

He left the box for safekeeping on a shelf above the bar at the World Bar, across the street from the United Nations.

Just in case that's not secure enough, Kreskin's giving a copy to Joey Reynolds, a talk show host on a New York radio station, WOR-AM.

Kreskin makes his living performing mind-reading tricks for hundreds of audiences a year.

News organizations sometimes ask him for news predictions around New Year's, but this is the first time he's ever forecast a presidential election. He says anyone can do it.

"But you can't do it from your own political position," he said. "You gotta step away."

Not that he's infallible. Kreskin's Web site notes that in October, he predicted the New York Yankees would not abandon their manager, Joe Torre.

The forecast "may have been clouded by my own wishful thinking," he writes.

Kreskin ain''t so amazing. I bet I know who the next president is, too. (But I won''t say her name).

If he''s so amazing, why didn''t he put his prediction out into the public for all to see?

I support Ron Paul, but I am realistic. Based upon historical voting patterns, the tall, presidential looking person always wins. All hail the chief, President Romney. I would bet money on it.

If you''re betting money on any republican this election, you''ll loose.
Thanks to Bush and the boys, Abraham Lincoln would loose the next election as a Republican.

"The Amazing Kreskin" is a cheap carnival act. Whoever wins the election he''ll find a way to palm the answer and supposedly have it come out of the box.

My prediction - Kreskin''s bookings were down and he needed a little press to let people know he was available as new episodes of "ER" and "Heroes" run out.

Did he put the rabbi in the box too ?

[drlucas1]

I saw Kreskin''s performance in Manassas in the late 1980''s. It was so fake it was laughable.

Now, don''t go picking on Kreskin because he''s a fake. All mind-readers are fakes, just like ghost hunters.

Kreskin is to be commended for his predictions. I am sure he is more successful in his career than any of the idiot, non-intellectual skeptics who have nothing good to say about a good man.

TERRORISM / MIND CONTROL Nevada 2002, %u2026.%u201CThe following day, Kreskin held a press conference regarding the UFO sighting and revealed his true intention, to demonstrate how terrorism could actually manipulate HUMAN PERCEPTION, via POWER OF SUGGESTION and MIND CONTROL, and successfully create an atmosphere of panic and chaos in America.%u201D, as quoted from his own website. Hmm, Is this administration doing any thing different ? Did he predict the 3500 dead of 9/11, the 4000 dead young soldiers and over 38,000 dead civilians in Iraq ? Did Mossad%u2019s agents know about 9/11 before he did ? Why were they immediately deported because they were caught laughing across the river in New Jersey ? How many more will die until his box is opened ? Did he read the minds of our master administrators ? Did he predict gas prices will quadruple in 4 years since the war started ? How about the Chainy ripple effect of gas prices on our economy and amounting number of home foreclosures ? Who is destroying my American dream ? Why did our American Dollar loose 75% of it%u2019s value since 1983 only during periods of republican administrations ? Hum, Hum, the mob eats you alive, sucking your gas Dollars and your home equity. 5 percents controls 95.
