The Amazing Kristin is dead to me….

Was the Amazing Kristin Kreskin's wife?

Besides myself and OP, I bet there are less than 50 people here who know who the Amazing Kreskin was.

I do! He was fun to watch, even though I knew it was all bullshit.

Still, he should RIP.

I’m one of the less than 50, R3. I think you underestimate how old many of us are.

And even FEWER who know of the Amazing Kristen.

I remember him well and fondly, as part of my childhood.

Rest in Peace, Amazing Kreskin.

I know who he is, and always looked forward to watching him. RIP.

He was on The Mike Douglas show a lot when I was a kid.

OP is not only keeping Emily Litella's memory alive, she also didn't know we're already on this.

Chenoweth?!

R9 Who's Emily Litella?

Hon at R4? I believe you meant to direct that to the OP; I myself am quite aware of how many elders hang out here, you being one of them, else you would not have made that error.

To err is Truman, R3/R12.

Oh, yeah -- and I forgot to mention that Johnny Carson's "Carnac the Magnificent" character was based on thAmazing Kreskin.

Keep up the good work.

Noooooooo she was so talented

[quote] OP and me

America's favorite blonde midget, dead? I'm in shock.

NO comments about what a queen he was?

Kreskin, the drag queen-ish Pat Collins, the Gary Morton-esque Harry Lorayne ... the pop mentalists of my childhood.

Pat's towering silver-blonde wig and batwing eyeliner were seriously impressive.

Kristin Sinema? Oh thank god.

Who’s Kristin and why is she amazing? Do DLers really want to know?

Died of dementia. How ironic.

OP here. I hope my autocorrect typo was as great laugh when I came back!

I wish it had been Kristin....what a PILL.

No immediate family members survive.

KRISTEN DEAD???!!!

(I barely knew her, but they say it was a killer interview!)

I had the Kreskin game when I was a kid. It’s amazing that he was recently still alive.

I thought he died years ago. He was a one-time crony of Ed Wood, I believe.

You’re confusing two amazing men, R29. It was the Amazing Criswell who was associated with Ed Wood.

Can you imagine the auction of his estate? So many bent spoons.

R31 That was Yuri Geller.

At Kreskin's estate, you're more likely to find lots of old decks of cards and coins.

R26 see R19

He was always on some late night talk show in the '70s. Metaphysical stuff was really trending back then ,remember Uri Geller ?

Kreskin and Carson.

WHET Yuri Geller!

Lucky him.

R29 - that was Criswell.

Poor Kreskin--Yuri Geller and Criswell are better remembered tan he is.

We were both guests on Joey Reynolds' radio show one night about 20 years ago. He gave me his email address and we kept in touch for a few years.
