4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun..., July 28, 2000

Michael Austin (Utica, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Be a Fake Kreskin: The Amazing Kreskin (Paperback)

...Just like Kreskin's stage act. If you read it in the same spirit, you'll enjoy it immensely. As for the other reviews on this page from Kreskin's "mentalist" competitors who did not enjoy this book, I say "lighten up." Your jealousy is showing. Kerskin's the big name writing the book and you're not, get over it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, written by the top mentalist in the business!, May 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Be a Fake Kreskin: The Amazing Kreskin (Paperback)

Kreskin delivers the goods once again. He is the biggest name in Mentalism and has appeared in more Television programs that his detractors have watched in their lifetime. A regular guest with Mike Douglas, Johnny Carson, Larry King and others, he knows of what he speaks.

Absolute crap. This book is an interesting example of what happens when a performer starts to believe his own hype. Read more
