One of his most famous forecasts was that the Seattle Seahawks would win Super Bowl 48. He predicted the score to be almost exactly 43-8 and even that Malcolm Smith would make a big play.
One of his most famous tricks was asking his audience to conceal a check during his performance and threatening to withhold payment if he couldn’t locate it. Kreskin claims he lost less than a dozen times in all of his outings.
Additionally, he would give $1 million to any audience member who could demonstrate that he was employing secret equipment or helpers throughout his performance.
Kreskin made around 300 performances a year over six decades, playing well into his 80s, according to Galway. “The Amazing Kreskin cared only to perform for all of you,” his relatives said on X.
According to Kreskin’s own statement in a CBS interview, only “10 more days until his retirement,” they added, before his 80th birthday.
